services > property transfer assessment

Since the 1980s, companies have known that identifying, planning, and managing risks that arise from acquisitions and divestitures are good business practices. In today's environment, industrial and commercial property transfers require comprehensive (and fast) assessments to identify existing EH&S conditions that may pose potential and often significant liabilities. These assessments often include inquiry into the previous ownership and past uses of the property. We may also consider process/equipment upgrades, potential litigation issues, and the effectiveness of current management systems. We have helped clients "save" considerable amounts of money by identifying EH&S liabilities that reduced a site's value and helped secure funds to cover future EH&S costs. Prior to rushed closings, we have been able to provide comprehensive and accurate cost estimates for EH&S liabilities.
