Worked example
Property data API for build-to-rent

Data BTR teams use
AVM & Rental Value
Automated valuation and rental estimate for any UPRN in England and Wales: benchmark target rents against local comparables.
EPC Data
29M certificates: assess retrofit requirements across a portfolio to meet minimum EPC standards.
School Catchment
Nearby schools and Ofsted ratings: key demand driver for family-oriented BTR schemes.
Flood Risk
River, surface water, and coastal flood zones, used in site appraisal and insurance modelling.
Planning History
Nearly 4M applications: surface consented BTR or PRS schemes in target catchments.
Area Demographics
ONS Census 2021: income, tenure, and occupation data by postcode for demand modelling.
Why BTR teams use Homedata
Market activity data
Homedata exposes the full listing-event chain (Added, Reduced, Withdrawn, Sold STC, Re-listed) UPRN-matched and queryable via REST. Days on market, price-reduction patterns, and market activity by area tell BTR analysts what government feeds cannot: how the live market is moving, not just where completions landed.
Site appraisal at scale
Screen hundreds of potential sites programmatically: flood risk, planning consent history, transport access, and school quality scored automatically without manual portal searches.
EPC compliance planning
Map EPC ratings across a target acquisition pipeline. Identify assets requiring retrofit investment to meet incoming minimum energy efficiency standards for the private rented sector.
Rental demand benchmarking
Use AVM rental estimates and comparable transactions to benchmark target rents against the micro-local market, supporting underwriting assumptions and investor reporting.

100 tokens = £1 · Top up from £20 · First payment matched 100%.
Pricing
Pay as you go: 100 tokens = £1. BTR teams typically start with a £250 top-up (25,000 tokens) for AVM access.
