What
is a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment? |
Prior to a
purchase of a property, a Phase 1 Environmental
Site Assessment (ESA) is essential to identify
any potential environmental risks. Phase 1
Environmental Site assessments are conducted on
the area and property as well as up to one mile
away. This is done to give you a thorough
analysis of the site and surrounding area.
|
|
Why Should I Have
a Phase 1 ESA Completed? |
If you purchase
a property and a Phase 1 Environmental Site
Assessment is not conducted prior to the
purchase, Due diligence was not adequate.
This means that the buyer can be liable for all
environmental issues and clean-ups of the
property. Items that could have been
addressed by the seller or negotiated in the
offer to purchase can go unaddressed until it is
too late. Then, the liability is passed on
to the buyer.
Occasionally, to
protect their investment, banks will even
require that a Phase 1 Environmental Site
Assessment is performed.
