During valuation or transaction of a piece of real estate, the UMR supports the owner when environmental-relevant questions come up.

We know that with property exploitation, many different interest groups (owners, buyers, communities, environmental authorities, land developers) meet head on. That is why it is our goal to provide comprehensive advance definition of environmentally-caused obstacles during property exploitation and to outline solution options. When selling negotiations take place, this opens up additional opportunities to reduce time and cost risks.

This includes the following, among others:

• Determination of material status with documentation of the environmental risk situation and authorities research as well as estimation of the environmentally-caused time and cost risks with recommendations for further action
• Prognosis and determination of waste-disposal costs for soil removal and building demolition
• Contact with specialized authorities or negotiations with authorities (e.g., with the goal of official "approval" or removal of the property from the suspicion of harboring hazardous waste sites.
• Examination of a soil liability option which permits the owner to assign concrete costs to property risks
