Extra Checks, Less Work for Conveyancers

A lot of people think that enviro reports aren’t an issue because they usually come back in a day. But the problem is the time that it takes to resolve them when a problem is identified. This is why we do the extra steps—to resolve it first time.

Speed isn’t the problem. It’s what happens when a report flags a risk. Lenders ask questions. Buyers get nervous. Delays pile up. That’s why Martello’s approach is different. Our partnership with Ashfield means every report gets expert contaminated land checks upfront, reducing false alarms, unnecessary referrals, and the workload for conveyancers.

1. Checking planning records – If remediation has already been completed, we catch it before the issue escalates.

2. Applying expert judgment – Every site is different. Instead of a generic, one-size-fits-all risk label, we look at the specifics—reducing unnecessary lender queries.

When a report flags a problem, conveyancers are often left chasing reports, requesting additional evidence, and waiting on responses. That’s time that could be spent moving transactions forward.

By resolving issues before the report goes to the lender, we:
✅ Reduce extra work – Fewer back-and-forth lender queries.
✅ Increase pass rates – More properties marked as ‘Acceptable’ without unnecessary delays.
✅ Save time – Deals progress faster, without last-minute surprises.

Martello reports don’t just flag risks—we resolve them upfront. Our partnership with Ashfield means conveyancers get the full benefit of expert contaminated land checks at no extra cost.

Less work for conveyancers. More reports passing first time. That’s why we do the extra checks.
