But when you are buying a property, see to it that you check the condition of the soil as well because that can dictate what you can and can’t do with it.

Here are some of the signs that will tell you the property has polluted soil:

1. There are stains and discolorations.

These stains and discolorations could be residues from chemicals and oils. It can get washed by rain or it might be left there by previous industrial and commercial businesses.

2. The place has an odd stench.

If the place reeks of a foul odor and you don’t know where it is coming from, you might want to check if it’s coming from the soil itself. Heavily polluted lands can emit an unwanted odor.

3. There are no animals living there.

Animals are sensitive and they will not come near areas that are polluted. So, if you don’t see any wildlife in the area- not even a squirrel to alert you of the condition of the environment, it’s time to look for another property.
