Ambiente LLP

Environmental Due Diligence

Whether you're acquiring or divesting a property, a business or a portfolio of assets, we have extensive experience identifying key material issues. Our goal is to provide commercially focused advice and solutions to help you complete a successful transaction.

We present our assessment findings in a clear and comprehensive report. As well as giving our practical commercial opinion, we'll recommend appropriate management strategies for identified material issues and make suggestions for improvements which could help deliver longer-term benefits.

We also provide Phase I reports adhering to the US standard ASTM E1527-05 if required.

Environmental Property Management

The ongoing environmental management of your property is one of our core strengths. Together we will:

• Address residual environmental liability and compliance issues
• Establish good management practices, which may assist in attracting potential investors and occupiers
• Demonstrate active environmental risk management to investors and debt providers

We've created an online environmental management database to achieve the best results. This database contains a full record of environmental information for each asset. It provides real-time status reports for individual assets and overview reporting for a specific fund or group of assets. Think of it as your online data room, with restricted access for third parties as required.

Land Quality Assessment

Whether you need help with a planning application or have a specific environmental concern, our land quality service provides you the advice and support you require. We carry out a range of services from limited, desk-based reviews to full Phase I assessments. We'll help you understand ground conditions, identify potential sources of contamination and assess any associated environmental risks.

We can also facilitate the design and implementation of Phase II Intrusive Site Investigations. For all site investigations it is our policy to ensure an appropriate scope of works is in place and clear interpretative reporting is provided. Where environmental concerns are present, we work with regulators and owners or operators to identify and implement the most effective management solutions.
