Surface the blocker before the chain forms.
Title, tenure, lease terms, environmental indicators (coal area, mining area, area-level crime), and planning history — pulled in seconds, attached to the file in audit-ready form. Propalt gives conveyancing firms and LegalTech platforms the data layer behind faster matters and fewer fall-throughs.
The Problem We Solve
A residential conveyance takes 12–16 weeks, and most of that is waiting — for searches to come back, for the lease to be reviewed, for the seller's solicitor to respond to pre-contract enquiries. By the time a short lease or a doubling ground rent surfaces, the buyer is emotionally committed and the chain is at risk. The blocker was in the data on day one; the firm just couldn't see it until week six.
The Propalt API gives conveyancing firms and LegalTech platforms tenure and lease intelligence including ground rent patterns, environmental indicators (coal area, mining area, area-level crime), ownership and corporate-entity links, restrictive-covenant and easement detection, and statutory-search-adjacent data — in one call, on file open. Surface the blocker on day one, not week six.
What You Can Build
Six common patterns built on Propalt by conveyancing firms and LegalTech engineering teams today.
Day-one transaction screening
Pull tenure, lease terms, environmental indicators, and planning history the moment a matter is opened. Surface the issues that would collapse the chain — before the searches are even ordered.
Lease risk triage
Flag short leases, doubling ground rents, escalating service charges, and forfeiture clauses on every leasehold matter. Catch the lease problem before it reaches the buyer's lender.
Smarter search ordering
Use coal-area, mining-area, and area-level crime indicators to triage which statutory searches are genuinely needed and which can be safely deferred. Reduce search spend without raising indemnity exposure.
Auto-populated pre-contract enquiries
Pre-fill the standard pre-contract enquiry pack with verifiable property data — tenure, planning, EPC, fabric, ownership pattern — so the fee earner only handles the genuinely matter-specific questions.
Live chain-risk monitoring
Re-screen every property in a matter pipeline as new data lands — ownership changes, planning enforcement, title alerts. Spot the matter that needs intervention before the chain notices.
Audit-defensible file evidence
Every screen, every check, every flag returns timestamped and log-linked — built for SRA / CLC file audit and indemnity underwriter review.
