Who owns the UK's land?
We made a quick vid showing how to use LandExplorer to find properties tied to the country's biggest landowners. Here’s how! 👀 www.instagram.com/p/DYmVms6owJ9/

🧑💻 here's how to find the holdings of some of the UK's largest landowners 👀
1. find 1 address tied to the landowner. you currently need at least one address in order to do a more in-depth search
2. go to app.landexplorer.coop/ + sign in (or register)
3. search for the addy in the search bar
Our May newsletter is out and it's a big one: we're launching a crowdfunder in June to support the next phase of LandExplorer. The free tier will stay + the paid tier will fund the work and gives better-resourced orgs API access and data exports. Supporters get a direct say in what we build first!
4. zoom in and click on the property. Go to the side bar and turn on “All Properties”. You should then see the owner information listed
5. scroll down and click on "Check other properties"
LandExplorer is getting refreshed data and new features this year. It'll stay free and we're adding a paid tier so the groups who can pay fund development for the groups who can't. Crowdfunder mid-2026.
