Matt Taylor, the former West Midlands Land Manager at Connells, one of the UK's largest estate agencies, has embarked on an exciting new chapter. With over 13 years of experience under his belt, Matt has founded Hessleby Taylor Land & Development, in partnership with Lichfield-based developers Hessleby Homes. 

His mission? To unlock lucrative development opportunities for Hessleby Taylor and its clients, with Searchland as his secret weapon.

"The Planning and Sourcing tools are absolute game-changers, especially when it comes to finding those quick wins to establish early momentum for Hessleby Taylor" 

"By using the planning tool in tandem with the sourcing tool, I'm able to quickly zero in on the most promising opportunities."

One of the standout features of Searchland for Matt is the company's receptiveness to customer feedback and the speed at which the team introduces meaningful enhancements to the platform.

"The Searchland team have integrated many of my platform suggestions - even the complex ones - within a matter of weeks. It's just brilliant."

Beyond sourcing quick wins, Matt is using Searchland to conduct ultra-targeted searches for developer clients with specific acquisition criteria. He recounts a recent project:

"One of my top clients for the coming year has set aside a substantial budget to acquire sites ripe for conversion into residential apartments that they plan to retain. So this week, I've been leveraging the planning tool to run an extensive search for sites with existing consent for apartments, both new build and conversion opportunities."

‍

Matt found over 350 potential opportunities after just three days on Searchland.

Having previously relied on other site-sourcing platforms, Matt is unequivocal in his assessment of Searchland's superiority.

"The fluidity and intuitive nature of Searchland's interface, coupled with the sheer depth and breadth of its toolsets, simply blows the competition out of the water”

From all the team at Searchland, we wish Matt all the best in his new venture, and will be there every step of the way to ensure the platform delivers beyond expectations.
