Looking for a land-sourcing platform with live rental and sales listings? Searchland is levelling up with a groundbreaking integration with Rightmove's on-market data.

After weeks of speculation, the Prime Minister finally announced the scrapping of the northern leg of HS2. But what does this mean for the projects that received planning permission?

It's designed to stop developers attempting to reduce their share of costs for local infrastructure, and affordable housing, when they start new projects. This includes costs across roads, GP surgeries and schools, shared with councils.

‍Searchland has a clear mission: to transform the way property professionals source sites. Here's the full story on where we come from and how we're helping developers across the UK.

As UK policy shifts back in favour of onshore wind, developers face a new reality: wind speed alone won’t cut it. You need fast, data-driven site sourcing to stay ahead.

Valuing development land is both an art and a science. While experienced developers may rely on “instinct”, the most successful land acquisitions are backed by robust valuation methodologies and data analysis.

Remember when finding development sites meant endless hours driving around neighbourhoods and sifting through old planning records? Finding those hidden gems took hours of work and a stroke of luck. Well, those days are over.

The post-COVID shift to hybrid working has left thousands of office buildings at low occupancy or totally empty. Meanwhile, the high street continues to struggle, and the UK still faces a major housing shortage.

The most successful property developers have one thing in common. They all know how to find the best opportunities before they hit the market. In today’s competitive property landscape, waiting for properties to be listed publicly often means missing out on the best deals.

Finding suitable land for development takes more than just luck. It requires a strategic, data-driven approach. Whether you’re a seasoned developed or just starting out, you’ll find a new way to source UK development opportunities right here.
