tmgroup to present a back-to-basics training webinar on environmental searches

tmgroup announces that it is going to present a back-to-basics training webinar on the subject of environmental searches.

Environmental searches are one of the core conveyancing searches for a residential property transaction. The way these searches look at the historical records for a property and its surrounding area, and check for environmental risks, is evolving.

Property search specialists, tmgroup, and Groundsure are pleased to present a free training webinar for newly qualified solicitors or anyone looking to refresh their knowledge on the foundations of environmental risks and climate change.
