Transaction Screen Assessment (TSA)

Transaction Screen Assessment reports adhere to the American Society of Testing & Materials Standard E-1528-06 for Limited Environmental Due Diligence: Transaction Screen Process (TSA report). Most lenders no longer accept these reports to meet their due diligence requirements, based on the new EPA Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment standard. However, these reports can be useful as an initial screen on low-risk properties.

Our TSA reports include:

1. transaction screen questionnaire

2. government environmental database review

3. inspection of subject property and surrounding areas

4. conclusions regarding environmental liability risk
5. recommendations.

TSA reports are limited in nature and no longer meet the regulations required for the "Landowner's Liability Protection." However, some lending institutions still use these reports to assess environmental risk for low-risk properties prior to underwriting a loan.
