Property data API for conveyancers
Automate the due diligence checks that slow completions. Homedata's property API gives conveyancing firms and legal tech platforms instant access to flood risk, EPC ratings, planning history, leasehold terms, council tax bands, and title records: all from one API key, without manual portal searches.

Data conveyancers use
Flood risk
River, surface water, coastal, and groundwater zones: replace manual Environment Agency portal lookups.
EPC rating
Energy performance certificate data wherever one has been lodged: instant EPC lookup by UPRN.
Planning history
Nearly 4M geocoded applications: surface refused extensions and nearby major developments.
Leasehold terms
Lease term, years remaining, ground rent, and doubling clause flags from Land Registry.
Council tax band
Council tax band for properties in England, Wales and Scotland: useful for buyer due diligence packs.
Title & tenure
Freehold/leasehold determination and registered proprietor from HMLR title records.
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.
