Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 10, 2020 11:18 am I am about to purchase a block of land to build a house on (paid deposit but haven't signed a contract yet) and have been given an old soil report (April 2018) that classed it as P due to filling and trees and that without them, it would be H2 rated.
