Owners of contaminated and industrial land

There are hundreds of thousands of contaminated sites across the UK. 

​

Closing or selling an industrial site requires careful management of environmental liabilities.

 

Sellers of contaminated sites can remain liable for remediation many years after the land is sold. 

​

Subsequent owners of contaminated land can also become liable for remediation if the original polluter cannot be found or is no longer in business.    

​

Any environmental permits not in use should be surrendered to discharge remediation obligations. 

​

Whether buying or selling, we will ensure that your potential environmental liabilities are explained, managed and mitigated.
