Clients looking to purchase or divest a site need confidence that long-term liabilities and development constraints related to ground or groundwater pollution and ground stability are minimised. Tellus Geoconsult LTD offers expert support throughout the site acquisition and divestiture process to de-risk sites and assist financial institutions in making informed lending decisions for former commercial or industrial properties.

Tailored Due Diligence Process
Our due diligence process is adaptable to the needs of our clients, ranging from basic screening exercises to comprehensive appraisals.
  • Basic Screening: For clients needing a quick understanding of potential “headline” issues on a prospective site.
  • Comprehensive Appraisal: This involves an in-depth desk study and intrusive investigation to evaluate potential in-ground and environmental risks. Our process includes reviewing and re-interpreting current regulatory and historical records, as well as compliance, environmental monitoring, investigation, and closure reports for the site.

  • MOD land
  • Greenfield sites
