Ground contamination, flood risk and other environmental issues can seriously affect property transactions and development
The growth of environmental due diligence is a result of environmental risk being more fully understood.
We recognised that risk early on and were the first UK property consultancy to set up a dedicated environmental and flooding team. With experts drawn from civil engineering, environmental science and consultancy, we provide a complete picture of risk exposure, delivering practical, cost-conscious solutions and ultimately peace of mind when deciding whether to buy, or develop, property or land.
Our consultants advise clients from the energy and waste sector on environmental permits and flood and drainage issues, carry out a range of ecological surveys and technical specifications for ground investigations.
