Data and intelligence firm Armalytix is extending its focus beyond conveyancing as it looks to support estate agents, brokers and lenders earlier in the property transaction.

Armalytix, the intelligence firm specialising in client information for anti-money laundering, affordability and related checks, has announced plans to broaden its reach across the property market in 2026.

The business said it will work more closely with estate agents, brokers and lenders, with the aim of bringing greater clarity and consistency to financial verification earlier in the transaction process.

By extending its activity across the property value chain, Armalytix believes it can help reduce duplication, improve how compliance information is gathered and shared, and support transactions progressing with fewer issues emerging at later stages.

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS

To support the expansion, the firm has appointed Alex Mangan as head of sales. He will be responsible for driving commercial growth beyond conveyancing and building partnerships across the wider property ecosystem.

Mangan (pictured) brings more than 14 years’ experience working with law firms and professional services organisations, supporting the move from manual and fragmented processes to more scalable digital solutions.

After studying business management at the University of Surrey, he held senior roles at BigHand and Thomson Reuters, where he was part of the Legal Professionals Europe management team.

In his new role, he will focus on developing partnerships across all parties involved in property transactions, as firms are increasingly expected to prepare clients for financial verification earlier in the process and adopt a more connected approach to compliance.

PROPERTY VALUE CHAIN

Mike Ward, chairman at Armalytix, said: “The industry is moving towards earlier, more consistent financial checks, driven by regulation, reform and the reality that conveyancers are under significant operational pressure.

“Alex’s appointment reflects our ambition to support the entire property value chain, not just the legal end of it, and to help firms collaborate more effectively around compliance without compromising risk.”

Mangan added: “Having worked with firms under intense regulatory and operational pressure, I’ve seen first-hand how fragmented processes create delays and risk.

“Armalytix is addressing that challenge at a property-market level, not just within conveyancing, and I’m excited to bring my experience to help drive a more connected, data-led approach to financial verification.”
