sitemax was created to assist developers, investors, land buyers and property professionals assess development opportunities more quickly before committing significant time, consultancy fees and due diligence costs.

Assessing development opportunities typically requires information from multiple sources, professional input and extensive early-stage research. sitemax streamlines this process by combining brochure intelligence with official UK planning and market data to produce structured acquisition-stage feasibility intelligence within minutes.

Every report is designed to support early-stage opportunity screening by highlighting development potential, planning considerations, market evidence, delivery complexity, commercial positioning and acquisition risks before progressing to detailed professional advice.

Built by UK property professionals

sitemax has been developed by a small UK team whose combined experience spans more than 50 years across architecture, planning, development appraisal and property acquisition.

The platform has also benefited from ongoing collaboration with experienced architects, planning consultants, feasibility specialists, SME developers and software engineers, ensuring that every report reflects practical development considerations rather than simply presenting raw data.

Our reports have been refined through extensive testing across residential, mixed-use, commercial conversion, adaptive reuse and strategic land opportunities, with continual feedback helping shape both the platform and the report structure.

Rather than replacing architects, planning consultants, quantity surveyors, valuers or other specialist advisers, sitemax provides an evidence-led intelligence layer that helps users determine whether an opportunity warrants further investigation before committing significant professional time and costs.

Our approach

Every sitemax report is designed to provide concise, commercially grounded and implementation-aware acquisition intelligence.

Reports combine brochure information with official planning and market evidence, including:

• Executive acquisition summary
• Development potential assessment
• Government planning constraints
• Recent local planning decisions
• Planning trend analysis
• HM Land Registry sales evidence
• Official ONS rental benchmarks
• Residential market demand assessment
• Development delivery strategy
• Commercial snapshot
• Planning and delivery risk assessment
• Build cost and capital exposure benchmarks
• Acquisition recommendations

The objective is simple:

Enable property professionals identify stronger opportunities earlier and focus time, professional input and investment on the sites most likely to succeed.

Evidence-led intelligence:

sitemax combines information from uploaded brochures with authoritative UK planning and market datasets to produce structured acquisition intelligence.

Evidence sources include:

• HM Land Registry Price Paid Data
• Office for National Statistics rental benchmarks
• Planning Data England
• Planning constraints
• Live local planning activity
• Site-specific brochure intelligence

This layered approach provides a more informed evidence base than relying on brochure information alone.

Looking ahead

The current sitemax platform represents the foundation of a broader acquisition intelligence platform for the UK property sector.

Future development will continue to expand the depth of planning, market and commercial intelligence available within the platform, while maintaining the core principle of providing structured, evidence-led acquisition intelligence that supports faster, better-informed development decisions.

We continue to refine sitemax through ongoing collaboration with property professionals and welcome feedback that helps improve the platform for the wider development industry
