Planda X Property Searches Direct: Smart Planning Reports
Planda is pleased to announce a new partnership with Property Searches Direct (PSD), a leading provider of property search reports. This collaboration brings Planda’s smart planning insights to PSD’s network of over 5,000 property professionals and home movers, offering them earlier access to vital planning information and transforming the way property is brought to market.
By integrating Planda reports into the PSD platform, planning issues that could impact a property or delay transactions are highlighted much earlier in the process. This enables buyers, sellers, and agents to identify potential risks or opportunities upfront, reducing fall-throughs, renegotiations, and delays, while helping to create a more seamless and confident experience for everyone involved.
PSD has long been at the forefront of delivering search reports that identify legal and environmental issues early in the home-moving journey. Planda complements this service by providing intelligent, planning-related property data and expert insights.
Planda reports bring to attention factors such as upcoming developments, complex council policies, and local planning constraints. Each report also includes a unique AI-powered Planning Potential Score for common home improvement projects including single-storey extensions, double-storey extensions, and loft conversions. Through this users have visibility into their local area’s planning activity as well as an understanding of what’s possible with their property.
Now, through PSD’s digital platform, ordering a Planda report is fast and simple. There’s no technical setup required, just the property address to receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand planning report. This makes valuable insights available instantly for PSD’s large customer base. For agents they can stay ahead of compliance and modernise their services in a competitive market. While homeowners have all the property information they need at their fingertips empowering them to make intelligent decisions.
This partnership represents a significant step forward for both companies. By combining Planda’s innovative approach to planning intelligence with PSD’s established platform, we’re giving home movers, agents, and sellers across the country a smarter, faster, and more transparent way to navigate the property market from day one.
Daniel Hamilton-Charlton, CEO of Property Searches Direct, "This is another product that more Estate Agents should have up their sleeves to ensure that sellers and buyers can understand a property's planning potential. Sellers can get to understand whether a prospective extension or loft conversion is a viable selling point, and buyers can pursue a property with confidence. The result is fewer fall-throughs, greater confidence and positive transaction engagement."
Brandon Johnson, CEO of Planda, "We’re really excited about this partnership. Daniel and the team at Property Searches Direct are transforming how property professionals and home movers access critical information. We’re proud to support that mission by integrating Planda’s planning insights to their offering and adding even more value to the property-buying journey."
