How well do you know your property?

When selling land, there is usually an obligation to provide information regarding possible contaminated sites. When transferring commercial space, legally binding research is therefore indispensable. Therefore it´s very useful if you know professionals who not only provide thorough advice, but also develop a professional solution: UCP.

This is how the property transfer succeeds

We examine investment or sales projects on public or private environmental risks. Because ignorance about contaminated sites does not protect against potential loss of value or image – up to effects on creditworthiness. For land sales in particular applies the motto: Better-to-be-safe. In order to determine the current market value, to prevent legal disputes or to check the insurance coverage, we develop meaningful expertises on the condition of soil and water – and take a closer look at the structure of environmentally relevant substance contents.

Care and all risks in mind

For industrial plants requiring approval we compile the required information about the initial condition. Our research leads to reliable expert appraisals with professional acceptance. We are also happy to advise you on the environmental law of contracts and develop strategies to avoid future environmental risks.

Successful property traffic at the Autohaus Mulfinger GmbH

A long-time automotive dealer wanted to dissolve its operation in 2010. In order to safeguard the transfer of substance-related substances in soil and groundwater as well as their dangers, UCP carried out research on private law and public law risks – in partnership with buyers and sellers.

The project

The car dealership Mulfinger planned 2010 the takeover of the motor trade. The property consisted of around 12,500 m2 with a comprehensive workshop area and a disused service station. There were indications of use-related pollutant contents in the soil. In addition, a flood in 2016 could cause damage that could also affect the subsoil. Since 2011, we have been accompanying the company in geologically relevant issues.
