The data behind Sprift reports.
Available via API.

Sprift packages UK property data into PDF reports. Homedata gives you the same data as API endpoints — EPC ratings, flood risk, council tax, sold prices, planning history, schools — so you can build your own reports, enrich your CRM, or power your PropTech product directly.

What Sprift is

A PDF report platform for estate agents

Sprift is a property information product that bundles EPC data, flood risk, planning history, and local authority data into a branded PDF report. It is designed for estate agents and conveyancers who need to produce Material Information packs for listings.

Sprift is not a developer API. It does not offer self-serve access, transparent pricing, or code-level data access. If you need raw property data to build software, you need something different.

What Homedata is

A REST API for the same underlying data

Homedata exposes the same property data Sprift sources — from HMLR, EPBR, Environment Agency, OS and 30 years of listing history — as individual REST API endpoints. You call the endpoints you need, get JSON back, and decide how to present it.

No portal logins. No PDF generation. No per-report billing. Just data, in code.

Data coverage comparison

Every data type Sprift includes in its property reports is available as an individual Homedata API endpoint — plus several that Sprift doesn't cover.

Build your own property reports

Instead of paying Sprift per-report to generate a PDF, call the data endpoints yourself and present the output however your product needs it — a page, a widget, a CRM field, or a generated PDF.

One UPRN lookup chains to EPC, flood risk, council tax, sold prices, schools, broadband, and planning applications. The same data Sprift puts in a report, enriched with listing event history and 30 years of price data that Sprift doesn't cover.

Estate agent CRMs

Auto-fill property records when a new instruction arrives — EPC, council tax, flood risk, schools — without a manual Sprift report per property.

Conveyancing platforms

Generate Material Information data programmatically at Sold STC, not manually on request.

Mortgage platforms

Auto-assess each application with flood risk, EPC rating, comparable sales data, and deprivation scores via UPRN.

Property report tools

Build a Sprift-style report page at a fraction of the per-report cost. Own your data layer.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sprift have an API?

Sprift offers API access for enterprise customers but it is not self-serve and is not publicly documented. If you need transparent, developer-accessible REST API access with a public free tier and published pricing, Homedata is the alternative.

I need Material Information data for listings — can Homedata help?

Yes. Homedata covers the core Material Information data set: EPC rating, flood risk (all four types), council tax band, broadband speed, planning history, and schools. If you're building or enriching a CRM or listing platform, these are all available as individual API calls per UPRN.

How do I identify properties by UPRN?

Use our address lookup endpoints — search by postcode or address to get matching UPRNs, then use each UPRN to pull the full data set. It takes two API calls to go from address string to enriched property record.

Can I trial Homedata before committing?

Yes — the free tier is permanent. 100 calls/month, no credit card, no time limit. It covers address lookup, EPC, council tax, flood risk, and sold prices — enough to evaluate the data quality and integration path before upgrading.

How does Homedata's 30-year listing history compare to Sprift?

Sprift property reports focus on current data state — the latest EPC, current flood risk, most recent Land Registry title. Homedata adds a dimension Sprift doesn't: 30 years of listing event history via Home.co.uk — every price change, status update, and instruction event for each property. Useful for valuation, vendor intelligence, and motivated seller identification.

Does Homedata cover Scotland?

Core property data (UPRNs, addresses) covers England and Wales. Some datasets — EPC, flooding, planning — have partial Scotland coverage. HMLR title data is England and Wales only. Full Scotland coverage is on the roadmap.
