01
The uncertainty
The buyer needed to know whether historic land uses, the site's environmental permit and legacy mining posed a risk that could affect insurance or the acquisition.
02
What we established
Historic uses, permitting and legacy mining did not indicate unacceptable risk for the existing industrial use. The environmental risks were manageable, with nothing that would prevent the transaction.
03
What changed
Insurance was secured and the purchase went ahead.
04
What was avoided
Delay to completion while environmental uncertainty was resolved.
05
How we got there
- Site walkover to establish current conditions and check compliance with the existing environmental permit
- Review of historical land use, regulatory records and environmental datasets, including legacy mining
- Environmental due diligence assessment of risk in the context of insurability and liability transfer
- Site walkover within 24 hours and report within 48 hours of instruction
