Soil contamination survey to objectively assess the value of financing collateral.

When financial institutions evaluate real estate as collateral for loans, the presence or absence of future environmental liability risks becomes an important factor in their decision-making. In maintenance factories, there is a possibility of soil contamination from organic solvents such as trichloroethylene, as well as specific hazardous substances like lead and hexavalent chromium, due to past business activities. If such contamination is discovered later, it could lead to a decrease in the value of the property and, in some cases, removal costs, posing a risk that affects the collateral value. Therefore, objectively understanding soil contamination risks before executing loans is essential for financial institutions. Our soil contamination surveys, as a designated investigation agency, clarify risks before contracts and support safe lending decisions. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Evaluation of collateral properties before loan execution - Risk management in real estate collateral loans - Due diligence in M&A 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Understanding hidden environmental risks of collateral properties - Providing objective grounds for lending decisions - Reducing future environmental liability risks

Applications/Examples of results

The main uses are the implementation of environmental due diligence (environmental DD) prior to real estate sales contracts related to the redevelopment of sites for automobile maintenance and body painting factories, as well as in corporate M&A. The buyer side of the land takes the lead to quantify and evaluate hidden defect risks and future asset retirement obligations in advance. Additionally, it can be widely applied in practical administrative consultations and contract risk management during large-scale land redevelopment exceeding 3,000 square meters, the fulfillment of obligations under Articles 3 and 4 of the law associated with the submission of notifications for the abolition of specified facilities using specific hazardous substances, and the pre-inspection of off-site transportation of construction-generated soil based on various regulations (28-item leaching and content tests).
