UK address and property data
without the enterprise sales process.
Loqate is a global address platform with enterprise pricing. If you just need UK address lookup and property data, Homedata gives you a self-serve API with transparent pricing: sign up, get a key, and make your first call in under 5 minutes. No procurement process required.
Pay as you go: 100 tokens = £1, no subscription needed. Transparent weights: most endpoints 1 token. No sales call, no contract.
