The ClimateIndex™ Report
Delivering clarity on climate risks in transactions.
Australia is in the front line of climate change. Our communities and businesses have witnessed such extremes of flooding and bushfires in recent years and now is the time to act and consider the potential impact on property purchases.
A new legal opinion on climate change risks for New South Wales property transactions has now been launched, which underlines some important considerations for conveyancers and property lawyers on their duty of care and duty to warn clients.
Legal professionals can now meet their duty obligations and support the key elements of the Legal Opinion with the Groundsure ClimateIndex™ Report.
