Who it is for
Development software for registered providers
Affordable policy, grant route, S106 precedent and local households for any site, before you commit to the affordable homes.
In short
LandBuyer AI shows a registered provider what the affordable homes on a site involve. It reads the adopted affordable housing policy, S106 precedent and the grant delivery route, profiles local households and tenure, and lists the housing providers on the register. A report for your development committee is drafted from the saved evidence.
The decision
Decide on the affordable homes and their terms
You need the policy, the tenure mix and the grant position. On Kew Yard the layout holds 21 affordable homes, and grant stays out of land value until an allocation is in writing.

FAQ
Questions from registered providers
Short answers to what land teams ask us before a demo.
Does LandBuyer AI show the affordable housing requirement for a site?
Yes. It reads the adopted local plan policy and states the threshold and tenure that apply. On Kew Yard affordable housing applies from 15 net homes under Policy HC1.
Does it include grant funding?
It identifies the grant delivery route and states that grant should stay out of land value until a written allocation or partner offer is in hand.
Can a housing association set LandBuyer AI up for its own use?
Yes. Housing association is one of the reader types set at onboarding, so the checks and reports are framed for a registered provider deciding on the affordable homes.
Which housing providers does it show?
The providers on the social housing register, with those that hold stock in the authority. On Kew Yard 1,577 providers are on the register, 355 of them with development data you can compare.
