Environmental Search

An environmental search is optional; however it can give you peace of mind, especially if the property you are buying is in an area which may be close to a waste disposal site.

Liability for contaminated land now rests with the current owner or occupier where the past polluter cannot be found. As a result, homebuyers may face serious financial penalties and health risks if they purchase property on contaminated land. An environmental search can help reduce the risk of buying a property which may be affected in this way.
