The property industry is broken and we’re fixing it. The Housing Crisis is an issue which has an effect on all of us. We’re helping to make a systemic change in the property industry, using our software to make the sector more dynamic, transparent, and efficient.

About the company

LandInsight is a new platform that is fundamentally changing how the property industry buys land for development. It’s a big data platform that speeds up the process of finding, assessing and buying land. It comes at an important time, one of the biggest challenges for the UK housing crisis is tackling the shortage of development land. Our tech has changed the game and as a result we’ve become the UK’s fastest growing PropTech company (and we’ve got the awards to prove it!).

People are taking notice too - our user base is doubling regularly and already, tens of thousands of homes have been built on sites that were sourced using LandInsight, and that’s just the beginning.

To support and accelerate this growth we’re looking for ambitious, creative and collaborative people to join the LandInsight family.

Our culture

Our values are ‘open’, ‘empower’ and ‘home’ and we regularly hold ourselves accountable to these. The people who work here feel that they are challenged, but also feel like they have the environment and tools to succeed.

We truly believe that businesses flourish when people work collaboratively. That’s why we prioritise team building and facilitation. We are in constant contact with the company founders, so are able to learn about the conception of and running of a tech startup that is scaling. We run weekly sessions to ensure every voice is heard and empowered to grow and contribute.

We don’t just make empty gestures about our culture - we were voted as the 3rd best UK SaaS Company to work at, and have also received awards for ‘Diversity Advocate’ and ‘Best at Employee Development’.
