Land Sourcing Software
Land sourcing software for UK developers, sourcers and agents
LandHunt is UK land sourcing software that puts planning history, ownership, sold prices, flood risk and INSPIRE parcel boundaries on one interactive map. The research that used to take days takes minutes.
What is land sourcing?
Land sourcing is the process of finding, assessing and securing UK development sites, from brownfield plots and infill opportunities through to back-garden PD schemes and commercial-to-residential conversions. The work is data-heavy: planning history, tenure, ownership, comparables, flood and constraints all have to line up before an offer is worth making.
Modern land sourcing software cuts the research overhead by joining those layers together and putting them on one map. LandHunt is built specifically for this workflow.
What good land sourcing software should do
The eight things that separate a real land sourcing platform from a portal or a spreadsheet:
Every parcel on one interactive map
INSPIRE parcel boundaries for every plot in England and Wales, joined to planning history, ownership, sold prices and constraint layers. No portal-jumping.
Official UK data, joined up
HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, INSPIRE polygons, Environment Agency flood zones, PropertyData, council planning portals and Companies House, all queried together.
Planning history in one click
Every planning application within a radius, filtered by decision and date. Reference numbers, decision text, links back to the council portal.
AI planning risk and feasibility
Claude reads the planning history, constraints and site context, then writes a per-site risk score and short feasibility paragraph so triage is faster.
Strategic sites and Local Plan allocations
See SHLAA allocations and strategic sites layered on the map, not just live planning applications. Spot pipeline stock before the market does.
Deal Analyser from any Rightmove URL
Paste a listing link. Get sold and rent comparables, EPC, flood risk, BCIS build costs, plus buy-to-let, BRRR, flip and HMO numbers.
Scout, the field app
Same intelligence on iPhone with AR parcel overlay, so a drive-by becomes a real site visit. Save sites in the field, sync to the desktop.
Owner outreach that closes the loop
Post letters and send emails to owners from the platform. Wallet billing, tracking, reply logging, so the sourcing pipeline is one workflow, not five.
Who uses land sourcing software
Property developers
Screen dozens of sites a day, discount the ones with planning or flood risk quickly, keep the ones worth a viewing.
Land sourcers and agents
Prospect brownfield, off-market and back-garden opportunities across a patch. Attach evidence to every lead before pitching it on.
Planning consultants
Pull a site's full planning history, ownership and constraints in one query. Report faster, quote confidently.
Investors and BTL landlords
Use the Deal Analyser to check numbers on any Rightmove listing in seconds, before booking a viewing.
Why LandHunt is different
Most incumbents charge £150 to £400 a month on annual contracts. LandHunt starts at £49, month-to-month, with a 72-hour free trial and instant access:
- A third of the price of established land sourcing platforms, without a sales call
- One map covering planning, ownership, comps, flood, constraints and INSPIRE polygons, joined at source
- AI triage: Claude writes planning risk scores and feasibility notes on every saved site
- Field-ready with Scout, the iPhone app, complete with AR parcel overlay
- Month-to-month, cancel anytime, no lock-in
Land sourcing software, common questions
What is land sourcing?
Land sourcing is the process of finding, assessing and securing development sites. It covers everything from spotting brownfield plots and back gardens with permitted development potential, through checking title and planning history, to contacting owners with an offer. Software makes the assessment stage dramatically faster.
What does land sourcing software do?
Land sourcing software pulls together the data developers used to gather from five or six places (planning portals, HM Land Registry, flood maps, council allocations, ownership lookups) and puts it on one interactive map. It cuts the research per site from hours to minutes and surfaces opportunities you would otherwise miss.
Is LandHunt suitable for beginners?
Yes. The map is the interface. Click a plot and the panel is populated with planning history, ownership, sold prices, flood risk and constraints. No SQL, no data cleaning, no exports to Excel. The onboarding tour walks first-time users through their patch.
Which UK regions does LandHunt cover?
LandHunt covers England and Wales for parcel boundaries, planning history, sold prices, flood risk, constraints and ownership. Scotland and Northern Ireland are on the roadmap.
What data sources does LandHunt use?
HM Land Registry (sold prices via Price Paid Data, ownership via title downloads, INSPIRE polygons), the Environment Agency (flood zones, surface water), council planning portals via PropertyData, Companies House, and BCIS regional benchmarks for build costs.
How much does LandHunt cost?
LandHunt starts at £49 a month, month-to-month, no annual contract, with a 72-hour free trial. Higher plans unlock more credits, seats and features like Landvia (mass tests) and the letter outreach wallet.
How is LandHunt different from PropertySearch or DueDiligence tools?
Traditional platforms charge £150 to £400 a month, lock you into annual contracts, and often hand you back to council portals for planning history. LandHunt joins every layer up on one map, ships a mobile field app, and stays month-to-month. See the LandHunt vs Landicia comparison for one head-to-head.
Do I need my own data feeds?
No. Data is included. LandHunt handles the API calls, cleaning and joining behind the scenes so you focus on decisions, not pipelines.
