What Geodesys does

Geodesys is a UK-based conveyancing search and property due diligence provider, operating since 1997 as a trading name of Anglian Water Services Ltd (Company No. 2366656), headquartered in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. Its core franchise is the Law Society-endorsed CON29DW drainage and water enquiry, for which it is the official provider in the Anglian Water and Southern Water regions; in 2025 the report template was extended and unified with Northumbrian Water. The technology core is a web-based conveyancing ordering and reporting platform (ecommerce.geodesys.com) built on a Microsoft/ASP.NET stack and hosted on AWS, with integrated mapping, Land Registry product ordering, and digital client verification (AML checks, Lawyer Checker, Company Checks).

The product portfolio spans five lines: core CON29DW Residential and Commercial reports; residential and commercial third-party searches (environmental, flood, planning, ground stability/mining, telecoms/utilities, combined risk — sourced via partnerships with Landmark and Groundsure); Client Verification for AML compliance; Land Registry products; and a free Conveyancing Concierge service that manages end-to-end search ordering for property portfolios and new-build sites. Pricing is transaction-based on individual reports and bundles, with quote-based bespoke packages and no public price list; orders may be placed through the self-serve ecommerce site or via phone/0800 085 8050.

Go-to-market combines self-serve ecommerce with inside sales and a field-style account management function (Commercial Operations Director and Head of Business Development overseeing a sales team and account managers). The target customer base is UK residential and commercial conveyancing professionals — solicitors, conveyancers, and property developers — with mid-market conveyancing firms as the primary segment. Distribution is single-country (UK domestic), backed by UKAS-accredited ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001 certification, Law Society endorsement of the CON29DW products, and an award-winning New Build Drainage and Water Report.
