Landmark Information Group steps up the fight against floodingAccording to the 2008 Pitt review, one of the key issues to minimise future flood risk is preparation, and even goes as far as placing that responsibility on homeowners. The Homecheck Professional Flood Report from Landmark Information Group however, provides the most comprehensive data available in the fight against potential flood damage. With 10% of all residential properties in England located in a potential flood risk area(1), it has never been more important to protect properties up and down the country. James Sherwood-Rogers, Managing Director of Landmark Legal and Financial, the UK's leading provider of flooding reports, comments; "It is no surprise therefore that the Pitt review found the UK was not equipped to handle the floods. As a result, one of the urgent recommendations the review made is to increase public preparedness and central to achieving this is improving the information available." The review also highlighted that there is no national flood emergency plan, no systematic stockpiling of emergency equipment and no wide spread use of home emergency packs. A key element of improving these aspects of flood management is the availability of comprehensive, accurate and up to date information. Sherwood-Rogers continues; "Our Homecheck Professional Flood Report is the UK's most comprehensive report of its kind and allows homeowners to make sufficient preparations to minimise damage. We not only feature data from the Environment Agency and Norwich Union (the UK's biggest flood insurers) but also include records of actual flood claims in the local area. 'This is the first time such detailed flood information has been available to homeowners and buyers." The flood report is available through your solicitor or conveyancer, or direct from Landmark on 0844 844 9966, alternatively visit www.homecheck.co.uk, email info@landmarkinfo.co.uk or visit www.landmarkinfo.co.uk.
