Financial and Property

ESI works with property development teams to manage the environmental risks on brownfield projects. We help our clients steer an easy course through the minefield of environmental legislation and negotiation, and save them time and money in their divestment, acquisition, and development projects.

Environmental issues can be extremely important to the risk profile of corporate transactions. Unrecognised liabilities relating to land or water contamination, or impending permitting requirements, can cost purchasers and lenders dearly and can, in a worst-case scenario, result in criminal penalties for directors.  Obtaining sound technical advice on the nature and likelihood of environmental liabilities is an essential part of corporate due diligence and is ignored at a purchaser’s or funder’s peril. Conversely, there are occasions when environmental liabilities have been over-stated and this may create valuable investment opportunities.  Contaminated land is a key area in this regard and recent changes in the legislation have changed the viability of many redevelopment projects.

ESI is well-placed to advise on specific sites or property portfolios, using our extensive knowledge and experience of real-world sites. Whether in support of buyers, sellers, investors or lenders, ESI can sort the hypothetical liabilities from the real, allowing decision-makers to make best commercial use of the knowledge available to them.
