Environmental Risk Management - Risk assessment services

In partnership with Argyll Environmental

Designed exclusively for Aon, Argyll's new rapid turnaround Site Report provides the first combined contaminated land and flood risk assessment for the commercial market, coupled with the UK's highest resolution surface water (flash) flood risk data.

As the risk of flooding and land contamination in the UK increases, the need for accurate environmental risk screening has become an essential part of portfolio management. Previous reporting was considered unreliable due to the lack of a clear assessment and absence of reliable risk data.

Suitability

Commercial properties, agricultural land and larger residential properties qualify for the risk assessment service. Where a rapid, automated screening of land contamination and flood risk is required, Argyll will assist owners, sellers/buyers, financial institutions, trustees and insurers in understanding the impact of the principal environmental risks.
