Predictable costs for
portfolio-scale property data.
Street Data charges £0.02–£0.50 per lookup. At scale, that adds up fast, and becomes unpredictable. Homedata uses prepaid tokens, with a published weight for every endpoint. Same UK property data, same API. A fraction of the cost at volume.
Pay as you go: 100 tokens = £1, no subscription needed. A monthly subscription earns up to 75% bonus tokens.
The per-lookup pricing trap
Pay-per-lookup pricing seems fair until you run the numbers on a real workload.

* Estimates based on typical endpoint mix. Street Data costs vary by specific endpoints used. Homedata: 100 tokens = £1, pay as you go. A monthly subscription adds 10% bonus tokens on any amount, 20% from £250, 35% from £500, 50% from £1,000, 75% from £2,500.

Data Street Data doesn't offer via API
Street Data covers the core property dataset. Homedata adds the data categories below in one unified API, with no separate subscriptions required.
- ✓ Schools API: schools within a radius of a property in England, from the DfE GIAS register. Critical for family relocation, mortgage, and insurance products.
- ✓ Council tax cost: annual and monthly council tax amounts, not just the band. Street Data bundles this. Homedata is adding it to the same endpoint.
- ✓ Full listing-event chain: the complete sequence (Added, Reduced, Withdrawn, Sold STC, Re-listed) UPRN-matched and queryable via REST.
- ✓ Planning applications: more than 300 local authorities, nearly 4 million applications. Full-text search, decision status, documents. For conveyancing, due diligence, and property intelligence platforms.
- ✓ Deprivation indexIndex of Multiple Deprivation for any postcode or LSOA in England. Useful for underwriting, local authority analytics, and investment risk models.
- ✓ Solar assessment: solar potential, panel count estimate, roof orientation. For energy efficiency, mortgage, or home improvement products.
Same data you'd get from Street Data
The core dataset (EPC, sold prices, council tax, property characteristics) has equivalent coverage on Homedata. The difference is how it's delivered and billed.
- ✓ EPC ratings: over 23 million certificates held, current certificate data
- ✓ Land Registry sold pricesUPRN-linked, 30-year history, full transaction log
- ✓ Council tax bands: all 29M properties, VOA-sourced
- ✓ Flood risk (river, surface water, coastal) all 7 risk types
- ✓ Environmental risk: radon, noise, landfill, coal mining, air quality, invasive plants
- ✓ Property characteristics: bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, property type, tenure
Migrating from Street Data
Most Street Data customers migrate in a single afternoon. The API structure is similar (REST, JSON, Authorization header) and Homedata's documentation covers every endpoint with cURL, Python, and JavaScript examples.
Sign up at homedata.co.uk and get your API key immediately. Pay as you go: 100 tokens = £1, first top-up matched 100%.
Change your base URL from Street Data's endpoint to https://api.homedata.co.uk/. Swap your API key in the Authorization header.
Field names differ between providers. Check the endpoint reference for the exact response shape. Response structure is similar for address and property data calls.
Tip: Run your existing integration against Homedata first (your first top-up is matched 100%) to validate response quality and field coverage before committing. Most teams complete validation in 1–2 days.
Simple token pricing
No per-lookup maths. 100 tokens = £1, every endpoint at a published weight. Top up any amount as you go, or add tokens monthly and earn bonus tokens: change the amount or stop any time.

Other alternatives you might be considering

PropertyData vs Homedata →Searchland
Map-first SaaS platform for land and planning professionals. £195/seat/month with no developer API: if you want programmatic access to planning applications, title data, or flood risk, Homedata gives you a self-serve REST API instead of a per-seat web UI.
Searchland vs Homedata →Realyse
Enterprise analytics dashboards for institutional property investors. No public API, no self-serve signup, custom enterprise pricing. If you need raw data to build your own product, Homedata is the developer-first alternative.
Homedata vs Realyse →Loqate (GBG)
Enterprise address validation platform: good global coverage but opaque enterprise pricing. No public self-serve. If you need UK address lookup AND property data enrichment, Homedata covers both in one API.
Loqate vs Homedata →Ideal postcodes
Good developer experience, PAYG pricing (2.8–4.5p per lookup), UPRN included. Returns address + UPRN only, no property enrichment. Solid choice if you just need clean addresses, but Homedata covers this plus everything else.
