FCI Flood Appraisal
FCI have partnered with flood risk experts Ashfield Solutions Group to offer an affordable, property specific, fully manually assessed review of flood risk in relation to a property, where a ‘further action’ for flood risk is identified in an initial environmental search report.
Overview
Flooding can have a direct impact on a property and its occupants, as well as on the property’s insurability, mortgagability, saleability and value.
Starting from just £195 + VAT* for a Residential property, the FCI Flood Appraisal is a property specific, fully manually assessed report, delivering a detailed analysis of the flood risk to a property.
Designed specifically to provide additional insight following a ‘Further Action’ flood risk result on an initial environmental search report, the FCI Flood Appraisal satisfies the requirements of the Law Society Flood Practice Note in obtaining suitable further information.
Derived from complementary data sources and flood mapping, coupled with expert independent insight from Ashfield Solutions Group’s experienced team, the report provides clarity, and ultimately makes those all-important property acquisition or investment decisions that much easier.
Who is it for?
The FCI Flood Appraisal is designed to guide and inform all stakeholders including home buyers and sellers, conveyancers and professional advisors.
