Oil Tanks & Real Estate

Why is it important to determine if an oil tank is present on the property in Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley before you buy or sell the property?

It is important to determine if an Oil Tank is buried, and hidden below the ground on a property in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley before buying or selling property for a few reasons:

  • Safety: Oil tanks that are no longer in use can pose a safety hazard if they are not properly decommissioned. If an underground oil tank is leaking or has been improperly decommissioned, it can contaminate soil and water sources and pose a risk to human health. Determining the presence of an oil tank before buying or selling the property can help to identify any potential safety hazards.
  • Environmental concerns: Oil tanks that are no longer in use can also pose a risk to the environment if they leak or spill their contents. Determining the presence of an oil tank before buying or selling the property can help to identify any potential environmental concerns.
  • Property value: An oil tank on a property may be seen as a liability by potential buyers or lenders. If an oil tank is present on the property, it may be necessary to remove it before the property can be sold.
  • Mortgage, Insurance or other Requirements: In some cases, it may be a legal requirement to remove an oil tank from a property if it is no longer in use. Overall, determining the presence of an oil tank on a property before buying or selling it is important for liability, environmental, and financial reasons.
