The layer your title search and 10.7 don't reach. Plain English, 1–2 business days, co-brandable for your firm.
The title search is clean. The 10.7 is in. NSW environmental constraints don't appear in either.
The deal looks straightforward.
Then the buyer's consultant runs a separate environmental review at week six.
NVR clearing categories. Plant Community Types. Federal species records. Biodiversity Values Map. Native Title. Aboriginal Places. Mining Titles.
140+ NSW Government layers, none of which appear in a title search or a Section 10.7 (149).
Answer the question before the client thinks to ask it.
The report fits alongside your existing workflow, not inside it.
Order on behalf of your client. Lot & DP or address; we deliver in 1–2 business days. You decide whether to bill direct or pass through.
Co-brand it. Your firm's logo alongside MapCheck's. Same data, your branding. Clients see a single deliverable from their conveyancer.
Use it pre-exchange. Surface environmental questions while there's still negotiation room, instead of at the buyer's-consultant-discovery stage.
Plain-English, evidence-backed, defensible to the client. Sits alongside title and planning — never instead of.
The layer your client expected you to flag. Now flagged.

A NSW conveyancing firm started routinely ordering MapCheck reports on rural files.
The reports surfaced environmental questions earlier in the conveyancing timeline.
Clients reported the deliverable made them feel "more informed" than previous transactions. The firm started co-branding reports for select clients.
"It put us in front of buyer queries we used to be on the back foot of."
For firms doing regular rural conveyancing.
Wholesale agent pricing — you order at a reduced rate, your client pays standard retail, or you co-brand the report on your fee.

Frequently asked questions
What does a MapCheck report add to a title search and Section 10.7?
Title searches show ownership, easements, and registered interests. Section 10.7 certificates add council-level zoning and planning information. Neither covers the NSW environmental and constraint layers — vegetation regulation, biodiversity, federal species, native title, mining titles, bushfire, flood overlays. MapCheck reads 140+ NSW Government layers across those categories, in plain English, in 1–2 business days.
Can we co-brand or white-label the report?
Yes. Co-branded reports — your firm's logo alongside MapCheck's — are available. Talk to the team about the arrangement that fits your firm.
Does MapCheck replace anything in our existing workflow?
No. It sits alongside your existing title and planning searches. You handle title, contract, settlement; MapCheck handles the planning and environmental picture.
When in the timeline should we order?
Pre-exchange. The 1–2 business day turnaround is built around contract review windows. Ordering before exchange means environmental questions can shape negotiation or conditions, instead of surfacing later in due diligence.
Is there a referral or wholesale arrangement?
Yes — in development. Firms doing regular rural conveyancing can order at wholesale rates with client retail markup, or co-brand reports on file. Talk to the team via the form above.
What does it cost?
From AU$499 inc. GST per property at the BASIC tier. AU$1,499 for ADVANCED. Wholesale firm pricing available on volume arrangements.
