Buyers can begin asking for the forms on Tuesday under a change implemented by the commission that regulates the province’s real estate industry.

Nova Scotia's government says property disclosure statements encourage communication between sellers and buyers, and help protect both parties in real estate transactions.

The new disclosure option is the latest step taken by the province to give property owners tools to understand and protect against risks related to climate change. 

In April, the province launched a website with information including coastal hazard reports and a guide on how to use trees, plants and other natural techniques to protect land from erosion and rising sea levels.
