We prove a uniformcontrol as $z\,\to \,0$ for the resolvent ${{(P-z)}^{-1}}$ of long range perturbations $P$ of the Euclidean Laplacian in divergence form by combining positive commutator estimates and properties of Riesz transforms. These estimates hold in dimension $d\,\ge \,3$ when $P$ is defined on ${{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}$ and in dimension $d\,\ge \,2$ when $P$ is defined outside a compact obstacle with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
