Our Story

GeoCerta has been created to bring clarity, confidence and innovation to environmental and geospatial risk searches for property lawyers.

GeoCerta exists to deliver exactly that.

By combining leading geospatial datasets with expert analysis and modern technology, GeoCerta provides high-quality environmental search reports that help legal professionals assess risk, protect clients and property transactions forward — fast, with confidence.

Our Founder

GeoCerta has been founded by Dan Montagnani, a leading figure in the UK's geospatial and environmental data sector with decades of experience at the forefront of industry innovation.

Dan began his career with over a decade advising financial institutions on environmental risk. He then spent the following twenty years developing one of the UK's most successful environmental search solutions, helping to shape the modern property risk reporting market.

Through decades of working with environmental and geospatial data, Dan understands both the power of data and the challenges it can create when information is not presented clearly.
