Why Do I Need an Oil Tank Certificate (Report)?
The most common situation that people need to get an oil tank certificate is during a property transaction.
However, there are other situations that could require you to get certification that your property does not have an existing oil tank, for example:
- Renewal of mortgage
- Renewal of home insurance
- Local municipality requirements
Other than the reasons above, we feel that it is in a property owner’s best interest to be proactive about scanning their property for an oil tank . After all, if no oil tank is found you will have peace of mind knowing that you do not have an oil tank. On the other hand, if you do discover an oil tank on your property, you will have the opportunity to deal with the situation and mitigate or eliminate the risk of future environmental issues.
Additionally, you will be prepared for any future inquiries when you choose to sell your house or renew your mortgage or insurance.
