What SearchLand does

SearchLand is a UK-based proptech SaaS founded in July 2020 by four co-founders (Mitchell as CEO, Hugh as Head of Customer Success, Arthur as Head of Data, and Archie as CTO) and headquartered at Tagwright House, 35-41 Westland Place, London. The company operates a cloud-based, map-centric platform that aggregates more than 30 UK property and planning data sources — including HM Land Registry ownership records, Rightmove on-market comparables, Ordnance Survey mapping, Companies House, Environment Agency, National Grid, Historic England and Royal Mail — refreshed daily or weekly, alongside 30 years of historical UK planning application data. Its core product surface covers an AI-assisted Sourcing Tool, planning application tracking, ownership/title workflows, strategic land data (SHLAA, settlement boundaries, five-year housing land supply), planning constraints, energy/DNO data, mobility/demographic layers, biodiversity net gain, HMO data and valuation/appraisal tooling, with a Direct-to-Vendor Letter Sending module that automates bulk landowner outreach. Customers span UK property developers, land and new homes agents, planners, architects and consultants, energy providers and utilities, commercial operators, retail/foodservice expansion teams and housing associations; named enterprise logos include Connells Group, Five Guys, Aster Group, Strutt & Parker, Avison Young, Cadent, SSE, Downing and ib vogt.

SearchLand monetises through annual SaaS subscriptions billed in advance with authorised-user-based pricing, offered via a hybrid motion combining self-serve/trial onboarding and an enterprise field-sales team handling in-person onboarding for large accounts. Quote-based pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is single-country/domestic (UK) with a programmatic API and an emerging MCP integration enabling enterprise data embedding and AI-agent interoperability. As of February 2026 the company reports 2,000+ UK property-company customers and a 60+-person team; to date it has raised approximately £2.5M in seed funding (£200k angel in November 2021 plus £2.3M from Fuel Ventures in November 2022) and has expanded into energy/renewables (September 2024) and launched a sister brand, Buildscout, serving construction and trade lead generation in October 2025.

• Realyse: UK residential property data and analytics platform serving housebuilders and developers. Comparable to SearchLand in targeting residential developers with planning, transaction and pricing analytics, though narrower in scope.
• PropertyData: UK property data platform offering pricing, rental yield, and market analytics to investors and developers. Overlaps with SearchLand's residential and commercial comparables and appraisal tooling for SME UK property professionals.
• Land Modeller: UK-based land valuation and development appraisal software for developers, agents and planners. Directly competes with SearchLand's land value, appraisal and planning constraints modules.
• Acadata: UK residential property data and house price index provider used by lenders, agents and developers. Comparable as an underlying UK property data infrastructure peer; less integrated workflow product than SearchLand.
