What property lawyers need to know about searches, climate risk, evolving guidance and protecting their clients.

Environmental risk is changing. The data available to us is changing. Searches are evolving. And with climate risk and environmental considerations becoming an increasingly important part of property transactions, the question is: is conveyancing practice keeping pace?

In this webinar, we’ll explore what today’s conveyancers need to understand about environmental due diligence, including:

• How environmental searches are evolving and what better reporting looks like
• Why the depth and currency of environmental data matters
• Groundwater flooding and whether searches are capturing the full picture
• Planning history and the information conveyancers should have at their fingertips
• Climate change risks and some of the less obvious questions they raise
• Relevant Law Society Practice Notes and what they mean in practice
• What can happen when environmental risks aren’t properly identified or understood
• What may be coming down the tracks and how conveyancers can prepare
