For UK conveyancers + property lawyers
Environmental + AML in one £19.95 conveyancer pack
A standard 2026 conveyancer environmental search through Landmark / Groundsure / Future Climate Info costs £46-80 retail standalone. A separate AML check on the buyer + seller through SmartSearch / Veriphy / Thirdfort adds £4-15 per party. The Stratum conveyancer-suite endpoint at /v1/suites/conveyancer/check bundles both into one £19.95 pack, dropping to £14.95 for environmental-only and £4.95 for buyer-only ID + AML. Same data sources (EA flood + UKHSA radon + Coal Authority + LA contaminated-land + INNS knotweed) at postcode-level granularity, in one signed PDF.
What the £19.95 pack includes
Buyer AML: name + DOB + nationality screened against OFSI / UN / EU consolidated sanctions plus OpenSanctions PEP and adverse media plus FCA Warning List. Seller AML: same as buyer for individual sellers; PSC tree + UBO walk for corporate sellers (depth 5 + cycle detection). Property profile: postcode geography + UPRN + EPC + MEES verdict. Environmental risk: flood (river / sea / surface water + historic events), radon band, coal mining (DHRA polygons), contaminated land + landfill proximity, Japanese knotweed risk band. Solicitor metadata on the cover: firm name + matter reference + acting party.
When to commission a full Landmark report instead
The £19.95 pack is a screening-flag deliverable. For higher-value transactions or where one of the environmental flags fires HIGH, commission the full Landmark Envirosearch / Groundsure Avista (typical £46-80 retail through the conveyancer's account) for the chartered-surveyor review. The two products complement each other: Stratum at the early-stage triage to size the deal's environmental tail; Landmark at the contractual-evidence stage where the buyer wants surveyor sign-off. A typical deal flow: Stratum at instruction (£19.95), Landmark only when a flag warrants it (£46-80 added).
Why bundle AML + environmental at all
Conveyancers running an MLR-2017 file historically paid two separate vendor invoices for the same matter: an AML provider for the parties, an environmental search provider for the property. The split is arbitrary — the regulatory file includes both, the audit-trail evidence sits in the same place, the buyer's solicitor sees one outcome. Bundling them into one pack reduces invoice-handling + ledger reconciliation and gives the firm one cert-hash + one verifier URL covering the matter, not two parallel evidence chains.
Frequently asked
How does the £19.95 break down across capabilities?
Roughly: £0.50 OpenSanctions per-call (5 parties × €0.10), £2.00 Stripe + AWS + S3 + Lambda + DDB infrastructure, £1.50 effective COGS for the property capabilities, £15.95 gross margin which funds the platform + reinvestment.
Can I run this in bulk for a portfolio of files?
Yes — `POST /v1/suites/conveyancer/bulk` accepts up to 100 matters per call with per-row PDF + verdict. For larger volume, the Stratum API direct-integration path beats the Certaby web bulk-CSV upload on per-call cost.
Does this satisfy SRA / CLC AML inspection?
The cert is the evidence layer for an MLR-2017 file. The audit trail (timestamped check, list versions screened, hash binding, 7-year retention, public verifier URL) is built around what an SRA / CLC inspector typically requests. Final regulatory-fit determination is the firm's MLRO call; we do not provide regulatory legal opinion.
What environmental data is missing vs Landmark?
No chartered-surveyor narrative review. No deep-dive on commons registration, chancel repair liability, or boundary searches. No historical Land Registry title-deed pull. The Landmark / Groundsure full-pack covers these where the deal warrants it.
How is this different to TM Group's tmConvey?
TM Group's tmConvey is an end-to-end conveyancing platform (400+ search types + AML + biometric ID + transaction management). The Stratum conveyancer-suite is a single signed pack — narrower scope, deeper depth on the environmental + AML axes, per-call pricing, no platform lock-in.
