LandTech is a technology company.
LandTech provides an intelligent platform centralizing data and tools for UK land acquisition and property development. Its core product streamlines site identification, assessment, and appraisal by integrating planning, constraint, and ownership information. Capabilities like LandInsight for discovery, LandFund for financial modeling, and Give My View for community engagement, create a unified ecosystem for property professionals.
Andrew Moist and Jonny Britton co-founded LandTech around 2010. Moist, a software developer, experienced inefficiencies in traditional site assessment during a self-build project. This led him to partner with Britton, an experienced town planner, who recognized the property sector’s need for technological innovation, establishing a platform to simplify development processes.
The platform serves diverse property professionals, including residential developers, agents, and power developers across the UK. LandTech empowers users to make faster, data-driven decisions throughout the development lifecycle. Its vision is to cultivate a more efficient and transparent property industry, continually deploying solutions that simplify processes and enhance project outcomes.
LandTech has raised $70.5M across 4 funding rounds.

LandTech is a UK-based PropTech company founded in 2014 that builds software to streamline property development, primarily helping real estate developers identify, evaluate, and acquire off-market land opportunities.[1][2][5] Its core products include LandInsight for site sourcing and assessment, LandEnhance for planning applications, and a US-focused platform for land acquisition in markets like Florida, serving over 2,500 clients including the UK's top ten housebuilders, architects, planners, and major developers like Pulte Group and KB Homes.[1][2][3] The platform solves key pain points in a complex industry—such as manual research, regulatory hurdles, and competition—by providing instant data on zoning, ownership, utilities, market comparables, and landowner contacts, reportedly reducing acquisition time by 40% for 4/5 users and enabling 10x faster land identification.[1][3]
Growth has been rapid: self-described as the UK's fastest-growing PropTech firm, it expanded to the US in 2023, partnered with Hometrack (part of Zoopla) for enhanced data, and now powers 1,500+ companies while maintaining strong momentum with ongoing product evolution.[1][2]
LandTech's story began in 2010 when software developer Andrew Elliman tweeted seeking a co-founder for a property software startup after struggling to self-build a house amid the sector's complexities.[2] Jonny Sharp, an ex-town planner seeking innovation in property, responded from across the UK, sparking the partnership.[2] They formally incorporated Land Technologies Ltd on January 14, 2014, in London, shifting focus from personal projects to revolutionizing off-market site finding.[2][5]
Early traction came with LandInsight, which quickly gained popularity for redefining site assessment, leading to expansions like LandEnhance for planning and a 2023 US launch targeting Florida's market.[1][2] Pivotal moments include securing industry accolades, partnerships like Hometrack, and adoption by top housebuilders, humanizing their mission from a tweet-born idea to industry staple.[1][2]
LandTech stands out in PropTech through integrated, data-rich tools that automate tedious development workflows:
(Note: Distinct from unrelated "Landtech" title software founded in 1979.[4])
LandTech rides the PropTech boom, fueled by housing shortages, regulatory complexity, and digitization needs in real estate development amid urbanization and sustainability pressures.[1][2] Timing is ideal: post-2023 US expansion taps America's land-constrained markets like Florida, while UK growth aligns with planning reforms and data-driven housebuilding demands.[1][3]
Market forces favor it—rising off-market competition, AI-adjacent data analytics (e.g., via partners like SPACEWALK analogs), and PropTech's projected growth influence ecosystems by empowering developers to bypass brokers, accelerate pipelines, and integrate with planners/government.[1][2][3] It shapes the landscape by setting benchmarks for streamlined land tech, fostering innovation in a $300B+ global PropTech space.
LandTech is poised for continued dominance as PropTech scales, with US growth, product teases beyond LandEnhance, and potential AI enhancements driving next-phase expansion.[2] Trends like climate-resilient planning, automated feasibility (echoing SPACEWALK), and global housing crises will propel it, evolving influence from UK leader to transatlantic powerhouse serving 5,000+ clients.[1][3]
From a 2010 tweet to streamlining property's "new era," LandTech exemplifies how developer frustration births tools that redefine an industry.[2]
