LandExplorer is relaunching and we need your help to get there!
Hello there!
Land data has always been scattered, technical, and hard to make sense of for ordinary people. LandExplorer exists to close that gap, making it free and searchable for anyone, no specialist skills needed.
We're relaunching the tool later this year with refreshed data, new features, and a better interface, built to make land data actually accessible to the communities who need it most. To do that, we need your help.
💚 Today we're launching a crowdfunder to fund that development. Our goal is £8,000 and the deadline is 8 July @ noon!

We have some exciting rewards on offer for those who contribute!
✨ £10+ A shout out on our socials to say thank you when the campaign closes.
✨ £40+ A signed copy of Nick Hayes' beloved bestseller The Book of Trespass: the book that blew open the myth of private land ownership in Britain and inspired a generation of land rights activists. Posted straight to your door.
✨ £75+ Access to a supporters-only workshop that shows you how to trace large property owners, follow ownership through holding companies, and find unregistered land across the UK. Run by the people who built the tool.
✨ £250+ A bespoke land ownership research report for any location and issue of your choice in England and Wales produced by our team (only available to the first 10 organisations). Plus your organisation's logo will be added on the new LandExplorer website as a named founding partner.
✨ £600+ (£500+VAT) You’ll be supporting our future by signing up to LandExplorer's Solidarity Tier! You'll get a full year's access to every new feature when we relaunch later this year including API access, data exports and access for your organisation. Plus we'll do a tailored walkthrough session for your team so you can hit the ground running. By the end, your team will know exactly how to use LandExplorer to find what you need.
