Flood Risk Reports & Searches
The Environment Agency have reported that over 5 million people within England and Wales live and work within areas at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea. However, in recent times, the risk of flooding is not just restricted to properties located near a river or the sea. With this in mind, flood reports are increasingly being considered as an absolute 'must' by many legal professionals during any conveyancing transaction.
The majority of flood reports will identify risks relating to groundwater and surface water flooding, in addition to river and coastal information. They also offer advice on the insurability of these properties.
According to JBA, as many as 10% of all residential properties are offered insurance at the standard rate. This could lead to a negative impact on the future valuation of a property and its saleability.
Flood reports can be conducted on properties and/or land, nationwide throughout the UK.
Which Flood Report?
We offer a large range of flood reports to suit any type of conveyancing transaction. Reports are available for both residential and commercial properties, and can also be undertaken on a piece of land.
Flood reports provide critical information on river, coastal, groundwater and surface water risks and enables legal professionals to assess the flood risk of a particular property or piece of land.
From simple, automated reports to the more comprehensive and manually assessed environmental report, we can offer the level of depth that you require.

Our experience with GlobalX is like no other experience we have had with other search providers. The website is very easy to use, you know exactly where to go to place new searches and where to find existing searches. There is always someone on the end of the line who is willing to help, Ben Buckley and Tan Nguyen are extremely helpful not only assisting us when needed but keeping us updated with the progress of our searches.
Birketts has been using GlobalX for a number of years now and the quality and range of their services is excellent, and so is their customer care. Their website is extremely user-friendly producing quick and efficient results, and the CourtCheX service in particular is one we would highly recommend
GlobalX’s service is second to none. Tan and Ben in the property search team always answer calls and reply to emails without delay, making for a great personal service and getting our client’s property purchase off to an excellent start.
I have been a regular user of GlobalX’s conveyancing searches for several months and I highly recommend them. The ease of use of their website is outstanding, and the customer service received is always superb. In particular, Tan Nguyen and Benedict Buckley have always provided a professional and friendly service to both myself and my colleagues.
GlobalX have been excellent since we started using them. Tan, Kai, Ben and the rest of the team are very efficient and are always at the other end of the phone if there is an issue or if you need something doing urgently. They are also more akin to commercial and residential development sites than other search providers and offer a more bespoke service.
Thanks for the top tip, I’m impressed with the customer service and noticing the error of my ways! In this instance to searches were requested singularly and I would usually search by adding when ordering multiple searches, it’s just how they came in at different times. Thanks again, efficient as ever!
Everyone is delighted with the efficiency and ease of use of the service – previously we had lawyers on the phone to the relevant court wasting huge amounts of mainly unbillable time. I would highly recommend this service.
We have only used CourtChex once, but we have found the service efficient and the cost very competitive. We will certainly be trying the service again in the near future and, if it works as well as last time, I will be rolling it out in our other offices.
I spoke to the help desk yesterday who were absolutely fantastic and did the searches straight away. I'm very impressed by the whole set up you have and the customer service you all provide is excellent
Fast and efficient. Error free and trustworthy
Thank you very much for your assistance with this formation - seamless as usual.
