For party wall & building surveyors

Every notifiable job, the day it's validated

Extensions, lofts and basements trigger the Party Wall Act long before work starts. PlanNexus surfaces each one near your offices the day the council validates it — as an email digest or a raw CSV feed for your own mailing.

What surveyors do today

Pay £179–289/month to a leads portal that bundles the data inside done-for-you letters — their branding rules, per-letter fees on top, and the underlying list locked in. At serious volume that model costs four figures a month and you still can't export your own pipeline.

What you get with PlanNexus

The raw applications: address, description, validated date and a link to the council record, filtered to a radius around each office. Write to the building owner from your own Stannp, Docmail, Intelliprint, PostGrid or ClickSend account with Letters — your letterhead, your standard letters, a worklist that shrinks as you use it — and pull the adjoining properties from Land Registry parcels and UPRNs for the party-wall notices.

A feed, not a walled garden

Daily CSV via one API call: lat/lng radius around each office, validated in the last 24 hours, householder types only. Councils that don't publish a validated date fall back to the received date, so the feed never silently drops a borough. Pull it straight into your mail-merge or CRM.

Common questions

How is this different from a party-wall leads portal?: Portals sell you their letters: their branding, per-letter fees, and no export of the underlying list. PlanNexus sells you the data itself — every relevant application with its address, description, dates and council link — and you run the mailing you already know converts. At a few hundred letters a week the difference is thousands of pounds a month.
Can I filter around each of my offices?: Yes. Email alerts filter by postcode prefixes or councils. The CSV/API feed goes further: a metre-radius circle around any lat/lng — one call per office, or one wide call covering all of them.
Why does the validated date matter?: Received applications can sit invalid for weeks; validation is the signal the project is real and progressing — the right moment for a party-wall letter. Filter on validated-in-the-last-24-hours for a clean daily run. Where a council doesn't publish a validated date we fall back to the received date rather than dropping the area from your feed.
Does it cover adjoining owners as well as building owners?: Yes, from the land itself rather than a guess: the adjoining-properties lookup (/v1/neighbours) finds the Land Registry parcel a site sits on, every parcel touching it, and the addressable properties (UPRNs) inside them with a postcode each. Where a council-published register or gazetteer names a UPRN we give the address; where none does we say so rather than invent one — the response counts named against unnamed. For the certainty a statutory notice demands you still need a licensed address product on top; this is the honest free floor.
What volume should I expect?: Depends on radius and patch. A dense London borough validates hundreds of householder applications a month; a 2km circle around one office is typically a few dozen a week. Sign up free and run the search to size your patch before paying anything.
What does it cost?: Free covers 3 weekly saved alerts by email, each scoped to a council, a postcode or a radius up to 25 km. Alerts Pro (£19/mo) lifts that to 50, daily and nationwide, and adds CSV download of your matches. Starter at £99/mo adds the programmatic daily feed (radius + validated-date filters via the API), Letters (send from your own print account, no per-letter fee to us) and adjoining-property lookups — comfortably covers a multi-office operation.
