(possible contamination) Will the size of the lot allow for the size of the building you want, along with the required parking?

I knew that there was an underground oil tank and a possible contamination issue.

If the seller has completed a phase one in the last 6 months the new lender for the buyer might allow that to be used instead of a new one being ordered.A lender absolutely wants to know before they lend out if a property has possible environmental contamination.

Got to go to the sticks for that.I've never even heard of a contaminated meth lab house in Detroit.

Once you are in the chain of title, even for one minute, you are 100% liable for the cost of cleaning-up soil and/or groundwater contamination unless you had a proper Phase I performed.

Also, there is a ground water contamination addendum attach lets me know it is bad I had to sign off on?

You may clean mold off the surface but water may have penetrated behind the drywall or under carpet causing mold to grow in those areas.If only a part of the home has mold, you need to insure that when you remove the moldy material from the effected area that it is sealed so you don't contaminate the other areas with mold spores.

Mainly on the topic of ground contamination.

I know to look for a building built after 1980 because of all the passed regulations such as asbestos contamination.

Oh an one more update the property is not on the Tennessee registry of contaminated properties.
