Environmental due diligence provides assessment of environmental liability risk to professionals working in property and corporate transactions. This risk analysis informs the seller or buyer on any potential environmental liabilities and their effect on the value of the asset in the market.
Key areas covered by GeoSmart include:
- Contaminated land, site history and current operations, covered within a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment;
- Flood Risks from all sources of flooding related to how the property has been constructed with any flood mitigation considered;
- The presence of and functioning of drainage including sustainable drainage systems which, if a site is acquired with the intention to undertake development, a planning application is likely to necessitate the requirement of.
GeoSmart are tech partners of the Royal Chartered Institution of Surveyors (RICS) who provide guidance on environmental risks to surveyors. When owning, occupying, purchasing, selling, letting, or carrying out works on a property, it is increasingly important to consider environmental risks.
As defined by RICS, GeoSmart are an Environmental Specialist and can advise on environmental risks that could affect your Site.

Alternatively, we can jump straight to a full, detailed report.
GeoSmart can provide more detailed reports on several environmental risk factors through our Environmental Reports.
We can also recommend suppliers and associate organisations for further work that we cannot undertake such as on-site Investigation.
