What SearchLand does well
SearchLand scans the UK for sites matching set criteria, combining title boundaries, company ownership records and a large planning dataset, with constraints, comparables and direct-to-vendor letter campaigns from one platform. It cites access to tens of millions of titles and over a thousand datasets. For developers and land sourcers building a site pipeline and assessing planning potential, it is a capable, modern tool.
What GalimAI does differently
GalimAI is built around distress and motivated-seller prediction rather than site appraisal. It joins 1.97 million UK property-holding companies (Companies House) with 6.9 million-plus HM Land Registry transactions, refreshed daily, and scores signals such as overdue bridging, charge churn, late filings, director-age catalysts and Gazette events across the whole population. You ask it in plain English, and the portal is free to start. Coverage is England and Wales.
