A London proptech company, founded in 2015, whose LandInsight software helps housebuilders and developers find, assess and plan sites for new homes.
LandTech makes software for people who need to find land and decide whether it can be built on. Its main product is LandInsight, which combines planning, ownership and policy data into one place, so a developer can look at a site and see what is there, who owns it and what the planning rules might allow. It has added LandEnhance, a tool that gives planners a single view of planning and policy information, and LandFund, which supports development funding. A 2021 article said the platform had helped build more than 50,000 homes in the UK.
Jonny Britton and Andrew Moist founded LandTech in 2015, and Mr Britton is chief executive. The company describes its mission as opening up the land market and unlocking its potential for everyone, through technology that lets developers shape future communities. In 2021 Mr Britton said the aim was to make property development more transparent, from first finding a site through to appraisal and funding, and to unlock land value with data. Its stated values, as listed on a job-board profile, are accountability, cohesion and courage.
LandTech is based in Westminster, London. Its customers include the ten largest UK housebuilders and thousands of smaller developers, with named users such as Taylor Wimpey, CBRE, BNP Paribas Real Estate, Cushman and Wakefield, JLL and Savills, according to the 2021 article. A job-board profile puts the team at 21 to 100 people, and the 2021 article said it hired 50 people that year and aimed to reach 130 by 2022; those figures are dated and should be checked. It was also listed in a proptech growth ranking in the Beauhurst list we read. Its tools work for housing developers in England and the wider UK.
On culture, the company states that employment and promotion decisions are based on merit and individual capability. Staff comments on the job-board profile praise learning, recognition of good work, a supportive team and attention to wellbeing, and the profile lists benefits such as flexible and remote working, 25 days of holiday, a pension, health cover, enhanced family leave and a learning budget. Review sites are mixed, with a high Glassdoor score and a low Trustpilot score that appears to relate to its customer service, so treat the picture as one side of a story.
A land-technology company needs several kinds of people: engineers who build software and handle large maps and datasets, data specialists who bring in planning and ownership information, product managers and designers, customer success staff who train developers, and sales, marketing, people and operations teams. Anyone interested in geography, planning, mapping, data, or how new neighbourhoods get built can see how those subjects connect here.
