Terrafirma – the leading provider of ground risk reports to the conveyancing industry – have launched the National Ground Risk Model: Climate™, an expertly modelled dataset to understand how property, land and assets can be impacted by changing ground conditions driven by climate change.

If you’ve ever transacted on coastal properties, you may be aware that no conveyancing search report exists that assesses the risk to property and land from coastal hazards. The reason for this, is that until now, it was not possible to assess the risk due to a lack of suitable property-specific coastal hazard data.

Terrafirma promise you will learn something new in fresh education campaign: ‘UK Ground Hazards and Property: The Risks You Need to Know.’

Leading ground risk experts Terrafirma continue their drive to provide helpful information on ground-related risk in property purchase with the appointment of geospatial environmental data scientist, Dr Tim Farewell from Cranfield University.
