Who are we?

We’re Searchland -  a group of curious, driven people who saw a huge gap in how development opportunities are sourced. We believe it doesn’t have to be slow, clunky, or full of guesswork. Instead, it can be fast, fair, and transparent.

Why we do it

Property shapes where we live, how we connect, and how communities grow. By making site sourcing simpler, clearer, and more data-driven, we’re helping create a future where development is smarter-and the process is fairer. That’s the kind of impact we’re proud to build, one search at a time.

Mitchell started building Searchland in mid-2020 and the spark caught immediately. Hugh, Arthur, and Archie joined soon after, bringing their expertise in planning, data, and software development. Now, we're a growing team united by one shared goal: making property development smarter and faster for everyone.

What we care about

The three principles we stand by

Data you can trust

No second-guessing. No crossed fingers.
Just solid data you can rely on when it matters.

Technology with intent

Everything has a purpose. If it doesn’t make decisions clearer or faster, it doesn’t ship.

Built in partnership

Informed by how teams actually work - where user feedback shapes what comes next.

The team behind it all

You’ll find Mitchell, Hugh, Arthur, and Archie leading the way, but we have a diverse team helping steer Searchland through Marketing, Sales, HR and beyond.
