“Consumers don’t care about data. They care about whether something will stop them buying the property.” So says Jess Green, chief commercial officer at property due diligence search provider Martello.
The former conveyancer and mortgage broker joins the latest Today’s Conveyancer podcast to explore the changing world of environmental search reports and explain how climate risk, data overload and rising lender scrutiny all contribute to the stresses and strains of day-to-day conveyancing.
Suppliers need to step up and support conveyancers, she says, rather than drowning them in 40-page PDFs. This means less repetition and not treating environmental risk as a tick‑box exercise.
Instead, trusted data allied to expert interpretation helps lawyers and conveyancers to advise rather than firefight, Green explains.
At Martello, Green and the team are finding the right balance between interpreting environmental data that was never designed for lawyers, and delivering robust reports which show the homework behind the risk.
The result, she says, is giving conveyancers clarity instead of noise.
Martello, which has recently introduced a new mines and mineral report, is aiming to reach a point where conveyancers stop copying and pasting, and start working with clean, structured, shareable information that works for them and for their clients.
