    An independent report

    An independent reportevery party can rely on.

    Every Zetld report is generated independently and co-branded with RMB Lawyers — strategic partner and investor. What that means: every party can use the report with confidence for their role, the same way professionals rely on a Cotality report for property data.

    Why independence matters

    Property contracts get read
    by whoever paid for the reading.

    Vendor-side conveyancers draft in the vendor's interest. Buyer-side conveyancers read it under time pressure, contract by contract, from scratch. Agents pass the document along without opening it. Buyers sign what they don't understand.

    Zetld produces one artefact — the same output regardless of who requested it. That's what makes it useful across the table: it isn't advocacy from one side, it's the contract, made legible, against a rule set every party can inspect.

    What RMB Lawyers backs

    The methodology.
    Not each individual report.

    RMB stands behind how the report is produced — the rule logic, the jurisdiction packs, the update cadence. That's why every report can carry the co-brand: it's a standing endorsement of the methodology.

    01

    Rule logic

    Rules mapped to legislation and case law.

    Every finding traces back to a specific statutory provision, regulation, or authority. RMB Lawyers stands behind the mapping — how contract language becomes a flagged issue, and why.

    02

    Jurisdiction packs

    Six Australian jurisdictions, maintained separately.

    NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, ACT — each with its own rule pack reflecting local law and market convention. RMB oversight sits behind the pack, not just the platform.

    03

    Continuous updates

    The methodology moves when the law moves.

    Legislative amendments, new authorities, market shifts — the rule set is updated on a standing cadence with RMB, and every report reflects the current state, not a snapshot.

    Who relies on the report

    One report.
    Every party at the table.

    Conveyancers

    Use the report as an independent, referable input when advising on a contract — the same way you'd rely on a Cotality report for property data. Zetld handles the first-pass read so your time goes to the judgement calls that need it.

    Buyer's Agents & Advocates

    Give your clients a clear, independent view of the contract without stepping into legal advice yourself. The report is consistent across every deal and independent of the selling side, so you can brief clients with confidence.

    Listing Agents

    Give buyers a plain-English, non-vendor-side artefact they can trust. Same report, same standard, whoever asks — which helps you win the listing and answer buyer questions with confidence.

    Buyers

    Lean on one report generated independently of the parties selling to you. Written to be legible without a law degree, and structured so your conveyancer can pick up where it leaves off.

    It is notLegal advice on any specific matter. It does not create a solicitor-client relationship with Zetld or, by itself, with RMB Lawyers.
