We have partnered with Hometrack to better illuminate the local property market. These insights help you understand how properties similar to your proposed development(s) are achieving within a local area - up to date valuations, asking prices, rental data, and so much more.

Who are Hometrack?

Hometrack are part of Houseful, which is the same group of companies as Zoopla - brands which will be instantly recognisable as trusted data providers to anyone in the property industry.

Hometrack provide unparalleled and accurate property market intelligence that you just won't find elsewhere.

What problem does Hometrack help solve?

The standard sales data available within LandInsight is sourced from HMLR, whom are the body responsible for registering all property transactions across the UK.

This is a great set of insights, but there are some shortcomings:

  • This standard sales data has a delay. When looking at HMLR's recent numbers, up to 30% of transactions aren't included within their data after a 3 month period - many of these can continue to be outstanding after a year

  • HMLR don't publish rental data. If you operate within the build to rent market and want to understand what properties are renting for within the area, then you would be out of luck

What are the main insights I can access?

With Hometrack, you'll have access to data that helps you understand:

  • The estimated value of the property at todays values, known as it's Indexed Current Value - which is what Hometrack believe it to be worth today

  • The last known value, which represents the last asking price, sold price, or valuation

  • Specific insights into a properties rental value, with last known rental value and and estimated rental value both helping you make smarter decisions when forecasting potential rents

  • All essential property details, including listing photos, floor plans, EPC details and more

  • Whether the property is on the market, and it's current status if so (eg. new listing)

  • A regular update frequency
