Due Diligence: An Aid Against Real Estate Pollution



The practice of real estate Due Diligence is increasingly widespread, during the negotiations for the purchase of a property, to verify before proceeding with the offers, that the purchase does not hide unwelcome surprises. To be sure of getting a good deal it is always good not to buy a "pig in a poke" but to rely on professionals.

Real estate due diligence is the complete investigation of a property or real estate assets. Gather all the news that it is good for the buyer to know before proceeding with the purchase.

It also contributes to speeding up buying and selling times, by collecting all the information useful for the transaction in advance.

The real estate Due Diligence gives the right value to the property/real estate assets, makes a complete analysis from the construction, urban planning, environmental point of view, highlights its urban and cadastral compliance, removes any doubt about the existence or not of constraints, of mortgages or easements and clarifies to whom the property is to be attributed.

The real estate Due Diligence activity takes place by collecting all possible data relating to the property and crossing them with each other.

We start from the study of the documentation, we proceed by requesting the missing additions, if necessary, and carrying out technical inspections to verify the correspondence between written material and the objective reality of the facts.

Also in this case, if inconsistencies or deficiencies are found on the spot, you will have to proceed by integrating or correcting what is wrong.

It must be ascertained that in the environment surrounding the property, or in the property itself, there are no sources of pollution or hazardous materials.

  • Phase 1 audit: Inventory, site visit, location of potential sources of pollution, presence of asbestos and PCBs, lead, termites

  • Phase 2 audit: Identification of the source, extent and impact of the pollution, study of compliance

  • Phase 3 audit: Project management of rehabilitation works
