What lies beneath? Wilbourn Associates can find out for you.

Should you or your client be involved in the purchase or disposal of residential property you may be aware of the Law Society’s “Contaminated Land Warning Card” issued in 2001. This makes clear that all solicitors must consider contamination on every property transaction.


Although many recently constructed properties are likely to have had contamination issues investigated, if you or your client are purchasing or disposing of property that predates 1985, and in many cases 1990, it is likely that the land has never been investigated for contamination.


In these cases an initial environmental report may highlight possible contamination and where further enquiries to the Local Authority cannot assist in resolving this issue, the next step would be to commission a soil test.

This usually involves using no more than two hand dug trial holes to a depth of up to one metre from which soil samples are collected for chemical testing in order to identify any contaminants of concern. Wilbourn Associates offer a quick and efficient service for garden investigations.


We only use UKAS accredited laboratories which have MCERTS accredited testing methods for soil and also apply the same strict protocols as we use on complex commercial sites. Should the soil testing identify contaminants we would work closely with you and your client to establish the best course of action with remedial treatment being required only on rare occasions.
