Land Contamination - Reduce Property Risks | LPI

David Woolstencroft catches up with Garth Brown from Brown & Brown Conveyancers.

David and Garth talk about several issues around land contamination that property lawyers, conveyancers and their clients need to be aware of and how to de-risk that. They also discuss other technologies that can help practitioners reduce risk.
