A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is an integral part of any commercial real estate transaction. The Phase I Environmental report provides an analysis of a property's past and current uses, and outlines any environmental conditions that may pose a liability for the current property owner or prospective purchaser.

Anyone who plans to buy or sell commercial real estate should obtain a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Such environmental inspections are an important requirement to protect prospective purchasers from environmental liability. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment will analyze the risks associated with a property and identify any potential environmental cleanup needed on and around the property. Getting an accurate environmental report is essential to protect both the owner and the investor/prospective purchaser.

For example, a Phase One Environmental Assessment in Los Angeles (also referred to as Phase I, or Phase One, Environmental Site Assessment) will examine whether there may be hazardous chemicals or petroleum products in the soil or groundwater under a property. These substances may also migrate up through the floor of a structure and create an indoor health threat.
