The best way to understand what a risk report adds to a deal is to see one from the inside. Hogarfax publishes a real example report, with a public cadastral reference and no password, that any professional can open. In this article we walk through it the way an agent would before showing a property.
What a professional sees on opening the report
The report starts from a cadastral reference and gathers, on a single page, the data you would otherwise have to look up across five official viewers: the flood situation, the municipality's radon zone, the seismic hazard under NCSE-02, the noise and surroundings context, and the plot data from the Cadastre. Each block comes explained, not as an isolated figure.
Why this changes a sales conversation
When an agent can answer "this is what the official data says about this home" instead of "I don't know", the conversation changes. The buyer perceives rigour, and any potential problems are put on the table while they can still be managed — negotiating the price, planning a measure, requesting a guarantee — rather than when the deal is already advanced and a surprise derails it.
How to use the example with your clients
The example report works as a demonstration: you can show it to a client to explain what they will receive before commissioning the one for their home. It is the basis of the argument we develop in why agencies add risk reports to their listings and in what today's foreign buyer expects.
Generate the report for the home you are selling
Enter the address or cadastral reference and get the same kind of report as the example for your property.
