In early 2023, Coventry City Council became one of the first local authorities to adopt the HMO Discovery solution and began investigating candidate properties which our unique scorecard identified as being likely to be HMOs, which were not licensed. Coventry City Council has already realised a 10x return on investment through fines and collection of additional licensing revenue, from completing investigations into only just a small proportion of high priority cases to date, with a success rate of 95%. The HMO Discovery solution has also helped to expose portfolios of multiple unlicensed properties owned by individual landlords, from single investigations.

Many local authorities use our live National Cladding Dataset, developed in partnership with 600 RICS surveyors, which provides the current cladding status of residential dwellings in High-Rise MDUs (18m+ tall, 7+ storeys) and residential dwellings in Mid-Rise MDUs (11-18m tall). We also provide comprehensive and readily accessible EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) data, including the current and potential future energy ratings and carbon emissions at individual property level, to support local authority housing teams with PRS licensing and tenant welfare.
