Build Real Estate & Property Awards 2015 42 hat I believe makes Landmark unique is the fact that we provide a complete end-to-end service that supports a large number of the touchpoints related to the lifecycle of a piece of land or property. For example, our data is accessed by architects, surveyors, engineers, developers and planning teams when a new property development is about to commence. Many environmental consultants also rely on our data when undertaking due-dil- igence on a plot of land, in order to identify any potential risks, such as contamination, subsidence or similar. To add to this, estate agents work with us to access digital maps for their property marketing, via our Promap and GoView software services, as well as use the Landmark Metropix floor planning service. It doesn’t stop there as Domestic Energy Asses- sors work with our software to help receive EPC instructions, via the accreditation schemes, as well as use software to help complete and submit the EPC report. Property Market Valuation data is also accessed via the Mouseprice service, while mortgage lenders and valuation surveyors work with the Landmark Quest service to send and receive mortgage valuation instructions, as well as utilise tools that safeguard the process. Finally, solicitors access a wide range of our reports as part of the overall conveyancing process when a property transaction is taking place. Our data is collated from over 400 indi- vidual suppliers, including partners such as Ordnance Survey, the Environment Agency, British Geological Survey, Natural England, Scottish Natural Heritage and The Coal Authority. We also source data from Government departments such as DeFRA, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), and the Depart- ment for Transport. On top of this, we also have relationships with a wide range of third-party organisations such as Barbour ABI, Experian, GetMapping, Bluesky, JBA Risk and Peter Brett Associates (PBA), as well as proactively sourcing data from all Local Authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. By combining the huge wealth of data with our team of experts, in addition to our data platforms and services, we are able to support land, property and environmental professionals by delivering the intelligence and mapping they need for their day-to- day operations and projects. Overall, I would say the success of Land- mark has been founded on creating new and innovative information and data servic- es by combining a variety of geographical, property and environmental data. We have always worked closely with our clients, partners and the wider market in general, to understand how their needs are evolving. This approach means that our team can ensure that our service and data we provide fully meets their needs, and we will continue to endeavour to provide this top quality level service in the future, in 2016 and beyond.
