Why conveyancers use Homedata

Replace manual portal searches

Each conveyancing matter typically requires 6–10 separate data lookups across government portals. Homedata consolidates them behind a single API call — reducing fee earner time and integration complexity.

Flag leasehold risks early

Sub-80 year leases and doubling ground rent clauses are automatically flagged in the leasehold API response — surface issues before exchange rather than at the report on title stage.

UPRN-keyed across all datasets

All datasets share the UPRN as a common key. Pass the UPRN once and join flood, EPC, planning, and ownership data in a single pipeline — no address-matching complexity.

Pricing

Free tier covers 100 calls/month. Conveyancing firms typically start on the Starter plan at £49/month.
