Enviroscreen Certificate - £52 plus VAT
The Enviroscreen Certificate is an ideal tool for commercial valuations, ensuring surveyors can
comment with confidence on contamination issues, meet RICS best practice and ultimately protect themselves and their clients.
The Certificate provides the professional opinion of a Chartered Environmental Surveyor, Wilbourn
Associates, as to whether the site or property will be affected by Part IIA of the Environmental
Protection Act and what impact there may be on value.
The Certificate has been developed with surveyors and financial institutions to ensure it supports
the property transaction regarding contamination due diligence. The process is consistent with
Local Authorities and Consultants alike by using the "Source-Pathway-Receptor" methodology to
determine the potential linkage between contamination and human health.
The Environmental Certificate is ideal for:
- Valuation Surveyors
- Pension Fund Managers
- Investment professionals
- Developers
The Environmental Certificate provides:
When will a property be 'PASSED'?
The property or site will be PASSED in the professional opinion of Wilbourn Associates where the
level of risk disclosed in the Enviroscreen report:
- Is unlikely to have an adverse affect on the value of the property
- Is not such that the property would be designated "contaminated land" within the meaning of Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990
However, if there is a potential linkage between the
"Source-Pathway-Receptor", it is likely Wilbourn Associates
will refer the site for further analysis, at no extra cost.
Following a referral, the report will normally be returned by email within 48 hours with either a PASSED or FURTHER ACTION
certificate giving further advice for consideration and a panel of Environmental Consultants to contact if required.
If the issues outlined in the report are adequately addressed then it is likely the report can be PASSED.
The importance has previously been highlighted in Part IIa of the Environmental Protection Act, the Law Society Contaminated Land Warning Card and more recently the revised RICS guidance on
'Contamination and Environmental Matters - Their Implications for Property Professionals', which clearly states that 'Surveyors must be aware of their professional obligations to help clients understand the challenges raised by contaminated land'.

More recently there has been several case studies dealing with the statutory contaminated land regime has taken place in the Magistrates Court.
