UK land sourcing and planning data platform for finding off-market sites.
About Searchland
Searchland is a UK land sourcing and planning data platform that combines planning history, ownership records, policy constraints, and market comparables in a map-based interface for sourcing and assessing development sites. Its sourcing tool uses AI-powered site discovery with custom filters, alongside strategic land data such as SHLAA sites, settlement boundaries, and housing supply figures. The platform also covers ownership and title reports, energy and DNO data, biodiversity net gain analysis, residential and commercial comparables, and traffic, footfall, and demographic layers. Built-in letter sending supports direct outreach to landowners, and appraisal tools help value sites before acquisition. It is used by developers, land agents, architects, planners, energy providers, and housing associations, with more than 2,000 users cited including Connells, SSE, and Strutt & Parker.
