Designated investigation agency | Early assessment of soil contamination through voluntary surveys to accelerate real estate transactions.
Independent investigation to prevent stagnation in real estate transactions. Rapid soil contamination sampling facilitates pre-sale contract investigations and enables early determination.
In the field of real estate transactions, the existence of soil contamination risks is a significant factor that can lead to prolonged negotiations or contract cancellations. This service is a specialized solution that allows for early determination of the presence of specific harmful substances underground through voluntary surveys conducted at any time before the land sale contract. Based on our extensive track record as a designated investigation agency, we provide a one-stop, rapid service that includes historical research of the site, accurate soil contamination sampling on-site, and high-precision official analysis. This helps completely prevent hidden defect issues after handover and accelerates the transaction speed. By visualizing potential risks at a stage that does not involve reporting obligations to authorities, we facilitate smooth pre-calculation of countermeasure costs and the incorporation of special clauses into contracts, thereby easing the consensus-building process for both sellers and buyers. This can be utilized as optimal risk management to prevent the erosion of real estate value and to ensure that corporate asset liquidity and development projects proceed as planned.

It is mainly used for risk assessment prior to the conclusion of sales contracts in land transactions involving former factory sites, gas stations, and automobile maintenance shops. It is ideal for due diligence when real estate developers acquire development land, for pre-verification of asset value during the sale of surplus assets by companies, and for soil risk assessment associated with M&A activities. Additionally, it is implemented to confirm compliance with standards for the removal of construction-generated soil during the rebuilding of office buildings and commercial facilities, as well as part of voluntary environmental management within operating factory sites.
