What do I need to be aware of if I’m considering a real estate purchase?

The authorities have instructed me to carry out investigations and cleanup measures for my property. What do I need to bear in mind in complying with this requirement?

Where can I obtain assistance for legal, certification, and analytic matters pertaining to site contamination?

Who should I contact concerning site contamination related matters?

How can I find out whether a particular property is suspected of being contaminated?

As a property owner, am I legally responsible for soil contamination that I did not cause? Who is liable in the event contamination that I myself did not cause is detected on my property?

When it comes to liability for site contamination, do I need to be wary of commercial and industrial properties in general?
