We consider geometric generalizations of Euclidean low energy resolvent estimates, such as estimates for the resolvent of the Euclidean Laplacian plus a decaying potential, in a Fredholm framework. More precisely, the setting is that of perturbations $P(\sigma )$ of the spectral family of the Laplacian $\Delta _g-\sigma ^2$ on asymptotically conic spaces $(X,g)$ of dimension at least $3$, and the main result is uniform estimates for $P(\sigma )^{-1}$ as $\sigma \to 0$ on microlocal variable order spaces under an assumption on the nullspace of $P(0)$ on the appropriate function space (which in the Euclidean case translates to $0$ not being an $L^2$-eigenvalue or having a half-bound state). These spaces capture the limiting absorption principle for $\sigma \neq 0$ in a lossless, in terms of decay, manner.
