Searchland

Downing has built an impressive pipeline of approximately 6GW of renewable energy sites thanks to Searchland 💪 We heard from Christopher Coates, Origination & Engineering Lead on his experience of using Searchland to identify renewable energy sites. Chris and his team primarily use Searchland for site finding and landowner referencing, utilising filters and constraints to locate areas suitable for solar, battery storage and onshore wind projects. "Searchland has helped us build a renewable portfolio of approximately 6GW, providing renewable energy to power up to 1 million homes in the UK." Thank you to Chris for the incredible testimonial, we look forward to continuing to grow with you 🍃 You can read the full testimonial in the comments.

Happy New Year from Searchland! ✨ As we enter 2025 we wanted to share our predictions for this year within the property industry & we'll give you a clue...policies 👀 📑 With a newly defined grey belt definition released from the NPPF we expect to see an increase in planning appeals referencing grey belt sites. 📑We expect BNG (Biodiversity Net Gain) to carry just as much importance this year as it did last, but with the evolution of the credit market. 📑Lastly, we predict an immense pressure on councils particularly in the first half of the year, including failures on housing targets due to the sheer number of new changes introduced last year. We're eager to watch this space and see how 2025 pans out. What trends or predictions are you expecting to see? As always, team Searchland will be staying on top of the data and what this year will show us. Why don't you book in a demo with our team and check out all 40 of our new features released in 2024? 👀

As we sign off for 2024 it's only right to wrap up the year in style ✨ It's been a big year for us with some huge business milestones including impressive updates to our platform like our new demographic data and our AI sourcing assistant. 💪 Our team has grown (including the four legged team members 🐶) and so has the number of businesses now proudly using Searchland. 🙌 We wish a Merry Christmas to all of those celebrating & a Happy New Year for 2025 🍾 See you in January!

💥 The Build to Rent sector is exploding and expected to expand further throughout 2025. 📈 The surge in popularity is driven by changing demographics, shifting attitudes towards homeownership, and a growing demand for high-quality rental homes. We've put a blog together to explore BTR on a deeper level & understand how developers can take advantage of this upcoming boom. You can read about: ✔️ The key drivers behind BTR growth ✔️ How to source off-market BTR sites ✔️ How we're helping leading developers secure sites 🤔 Why are developers jumping on the BTR bandwagon? You can find out if you read the blog here: https://bit.ly/49LZgH8

🆕 ✨ The Grey Belt has officially been defined by the NPPF, and we've made it easier than ever to find these opportunities. You can now add a new pre-defined filter on our sourcing tool, to help you find 1000s of potential Grey Belt sites across the UK. Grey Belt is defined as ‘previously developed land in the Green Belt and/or any other land that doesn’t strongly contribute to reducing urban sprawl.’ This forms part of the government’s latest planning reforms, guiding developers to make better use of land that doesn't strongly contribute to the core purpose of the Green Belt.
