For estate agents

Spot sellers before your competition does

Homeowners who file an extension or loft conversion are 30% more likely to sell within 18 months. PlanNexus emails you when those applications land in your patch — every council, every day.

Set up free alertsSee how it works

Free tier — 1,000 requests/month, 10 saved alerts. No card required.

What estate agents do today

Manually checking 5 council planning portals every Monday morning, missing the ones outside your office's main authority, and finding out a neighbour listed with a competitor only after they've signed.

What you get with PlanNexus

One email each morning with every new application matching your postcodes and keywords. Pick up the phone the same day. Your competitor finds out next month.

Know your market, not just your leads

Beyond the morning alerts: see how your patch is actually moving. Approval rates and decision speed for every council (official MHCLG data), live application volumes and type-mix by area, and the most-active agents on your turf. Included on any paid plan.

What lands in your inbox

Daily or weekly digest. One email, scannable in 30 seconds.

Common questions

Which councils do you cover?
Every London borough, all major metros, plus 200+ shire and unitary authorities — 360+ in total. Coverage page shows which councils were scraped in the last 48 hours.
How fast does an alert arrive after filing?
We scrape every active council multiple times per day. New applications usually appear in your digest within hours of being filed at the council.
Can I filter by postcode area or specific council?
Yes. Use full postcode prefixes (e.g. SW1, KT12) or limit to a specific council. Combine with keyword filters like 'extension', 'change of use', 'loft conversion'.
Does this work for residential AND commercial?
Yes. The keyword filter searches both the description and the address, so 'change of use' picks up commercial conversions, 'office to residential' picks up Class E moves, etc.
What does it cost?
Free covers 10 saved alerts and email digests — enough for most independent agents. Alerts Pro at £19/month lifts the cap to 50 saved searches and unlocks CSV export of your matches plus the top-agents analytics view (rank the local agent firms most active in your postcodes — useful for spotting who's eating your lunch).
Can I download my matches as a spreadsheet?
Yes, on Alerts Pro and above. Every saved search has a CSV download button (raw applications, last 90 days by default) plus a top-agents export that ranks the firms acting on the matched applications. Pulls into Excel or your CRM in one click.
Is this legal? It's public data, right?
Yes. Planning applications are published by councils in the public interest. We aggregate and normalise the public record into one feed. See our Terms for the full licensing detail.
