Im buying a business property and intend to continue usiness as usual?
Remember, the land is likely to be your biggest asset. Don’t compromise for short-term gain. Nothing lasts forever and you may eventually wish to sell the property for re-development. Establish at the outset the quality of the land and ensure the practical and financial responsibilities for any liabilities are built into the sale. For some industrial purposes (such as waste or IPPC permits) such information is required by regulators to evaluate duties on the permit holder if he wishes to ‘surrender’ the permit.
