Property data platform automating UK development site sourcing and acquisition
Searchland operates a property and planning data platform built on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch, serving UK residential and commercial developers. The company is in early geographic expansion (launching in Australia) while simultaneously building a sales function from scratch—a dual scaling challenge reflected in their hiring mix (5 engineers, 3 sales roles) and pain-point list around lead conversion and market reach. Hiring velocity is decelerating, suggesting a consolidation phase.

Founded in 2020, Searchland operates from London with 11–50 employees and is beginning to expand internationally into Australia, while still establishing core sales processes domestically.
