You don’t need to know which assessor you need.
Show us what you need assessed. Tell us what is happening with the site, property or planning requirement. Add a photo, plan, letter or report if useful. FindMyAssessor structures what you supply so the appropriate assessment pathway can be established.
“I’m not sure” is a valid answer. An appropriately qualified professional must confirm the exact assessment, report, scope and requirements that apply.
Start with what happened — not the professional title
People often arrive knowing the trigger, not the terminology. Assessment DNA is designed around that uncertainty.
I’m preparing a planning application
I have a site or project and need to understand the relevant site-assessment pathway.
Show us what you have → COUNCIL / RFII received a request or letter
Upload the notice, request for further information or relevant correspondence rather than trying to interpret it alone.
Build Assessment DNA → WASTEWATERI have a septic tank or wastewater issue
Tell us what is happening, what you are trying to achieve and anything already known about the site.
Structure the requirement → BUYING / DUE DILIGENCEI’m considering buying a site or property
Capture the property, objective, timing and available documents before deciding what assessment scope may be relevant.

Tell us what is happening
Give us the property, project, trigger and outcome you are trying to achieve. Choose “Not sure” where needed.
Show us what you have
Add relevant photographs, screenshots, plans, notices, letters, reports or PDFs as supporting information.
Get structured Assessment DNA
FindMyAssessor returns a structured summary with a unique FMA reference, likely pathway where defensible, and what remains to be established.
Move toward the right professional
The structured enquiry can then support identification or matching with an appropriate independent assessor. The professional confirms the technical scope.
Keep the existing assessment routes
Assessment DNA does not replace the site’s existing search and guidance pages. If you already know what you need, go straight to the relevant information or county route.
Assessment DNA questions
What if I do not know which assessment I need?
That is exactly what Assessment DNA is designed for. Describe what prompted the enquiry and what you are trying to achieve. The exact professional scope must still be confirmed by an appropriately qualified assessor.
Can I upload a council letter, plan or report?
Yes. The intake accepts supported PDF and image files within the stated limits. Uploaded material is supporting information and is not a substitute for any assessment that must be completed by a qualified professional.
Does FindMyAssessor perform the assessment?
No. FindMyAssessor is an independent enquiry and matching service. It does not perform site assessments or provide engineering, planning, environmental or legal advice.
Does Assessment DNA guarantee which report I need?
No. It structures the information supplied and may identify a likely pathway where that can be done cautiously. The selected professional must confirm the exact service, scope, qualifications and documentation required.
