Environmental Search

Our buyer’s solicitors have carried out an environmental search and you will note that the expert in environmental risk screening has considered the property in need of further assessment in terms of “contaminated land”. This appears to be as a result of the proximity to two landfill sites which have been identified by the report. The search assessor has recommended that we contact yourself to confirm that you are aware of the past use of the area and have not identified the study site or surrounding sites as “contaminated land” (as defined under Part2(a) of EPA 1990) or are not considering any further action against the study site or any surrounding sites (either informally or formally) under this legislation. If you are considering further action, please would you confirm the level of priority assigned to the site. Accordingly we await hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
