"Our conveyancing firm uses the Groundsure Avista report in every transaction, we’ve made savings on time and cost by having all necessary searches included within a single report. This report provides our purchasers with peace of mind and ensurers maximum compliance and due diligence. It contains a wealth of information and the clients do like the additional planning report contained with the search."
Richard Swinbank, Director Solicitor - EMG Solicitors
"I have been using Groundsure as a provider of environmental and geological data packages for a number of years, and the quality of both data and customer service that Groundsure provides never fails to meet my expectations.”
Adam Branson, Associate - CGL
“Groundsure has been our number one provider for environmental searches for over 15 years. And it’s been an easy choice through their continued dedication to providing the best possible products in a timely manner.”
Ian Benger, Assured Searches
"As a chartered Building Surveyor I have found that Groundsure are providing a first class service and products. I have found that your products are so much easier to work with than your competitors in particular the ease in which I can navigate through the reports."
Richard Benwell, RH Benwell & Associates
"I have been using Groundsure’s Insight package throughout my career for the purposes of my desk study research. The package provides an excellent level of detail, including the reproduction of the 1:10,000 scale BGS geological mapping editions for sites where available in clear, visual format. This is a really useful feature, both saving time and providing a targeted summary of the geology beneath development sites."
Scott Jones, Senior Geo-Environmental Engineer - Ground Investigation and Piling Limited
"I think the subtle changes which Groundsure have made to their Residential reports will reduce the amount of follow up questions clients are going to have, but yet still provide the exact same information as before. The new all in one Avista report will save over 30 minutes per transaction with all the information being in one report, with easy to understand next steps and recommendations.”
Sean Reeves, Head of residential conveyancing at Letchers Solicitors
"As a first time user the whole experience was perfect, from my first call I felt immediately relieved and could tell I was speaking with people that knew the product and website completely. It took a lot of stress off my shoulders and helped me get started with a project that had an immediate deadline. My first order with Groundsure has been first class and I will definitely be using them for lots more projects in the future"
Alison Douglas, Archaeologist - Tetra Tech
