What's in the API

One call, full ownership picture
Ownership due diligence typically requires separate Land Registry, Companies House, and council queries. The Homedata ownership API consolidates all three into a single call — saving development time and reducing the number of integration points.

FAQ
Can I identify landlord portfolios?
Yes — pass a proprietor name or company number to retrieve all properties registered to that owner. Growth and Pro plans support portfolio-scale queries.
How does Companies House matching work?
We match the Land Registry proprietor name against Companies House registrations using fuzzy name matching and company number cross-referencing. Match confidence is included in the response.
What if the property is unregistered?
Unregistered properties return a partial response indicating no Land Registry title found. The API does not return guessed ownership for unregistered properties.
