Order property searches without leaving the matter
OrdoLux integrates directly with TM Group — order Local Authority, drainage & water and environmental searches from the matter, and let OrdoLux track status and file results for you automatically.
Why order searches from inside OrdoLux
Ordering searches has traditionally meant leaving your case management system entirely — logging into a separate portal, re-typing the property address and matter reference, then manually chasing progress and downloading results to attach back to the file. It is one of the most repetitive parts of a conveyancing transaction, and one of the easiest places for something to get lost.
OrdoLux connects directly to your firm's own TM Group account via their tmConnect API. Search products are pulled live from your account, so fee earners always see exactly what's available to order — no separate login, no re-keying the same details twice.
Once an order is placed, OrdoLux takes over the chasing. Status is checked automatically in the background, and when a search comes back, the result is filed straight to the matter — ready for review, with nothing to download and nothing to lose.
How it works
Order from the matter
Open the Searches tab on any matter, pick a search type from your firm's live TM Group product list, and confirm the property address.
OrdoLux tracks progress
No portals to check. OrdoLux polls TM Group automatically in the background and updates the matter as the order progresses.
Results filed automatically
When the search completes, the result is filed straight to the matter — ready to review alongside everything else on the file.
Key features
Full regulated search range
Local Authority (LLC1 & CON29), drainage & water, environmental and other regulated searches, sourced from councils and providers across England and Wales via TM Group's national coverage.
Live product catalogue
The search types you see in OrdoLux come straight from your own TM Group account — always current, never a hardcoded or outdated list.
Automatic status tracking
OrdoLux checks order status in the background, so nobody on the desk needs to remember to log into a separate portal and check.
Results filed to the matter
Completed searches attach to the matter automatically — no manual downloading, no attaching PDFs by hand, no risk of losing a result in an inbox.
No extra software
Works inside the conveyancing workflow you already use in OrdoLux — no separate search portal login to remember.
Your own TM Group account
Searches are ordered and billed under your firm's existing TM Group account — OrdoLux is the interface, not a middleman on price.
