Reviews on Trustpilot

"Why I switched to BOOM! (And you should too!)"

"I've tried almost every UK online land and property sourcing tool, and BOOM! is the clear winner. It's the only platform I've found that offers both extensive property and planning data, as well as a detailed development appraisal tool, all at an unbeatable price. Why pay more for less with other services?"

"BOOM!Tastic"

"Having used competitors similar software the BOOM! Mapping system offers exactly the same results for much better value for money. Any identified queries are resolved swiftly and improvements made. As part of the overall BOOM! platform the mapping system is greatly of benefit, but unlike the competitors it offers significantly more, with sites available that are not widely known about."

The same data, a fraction of the price

Searchland, LandTech and Nimbus charge an average of £3,540 a year. BOOM! is £540 a year with every add-on included, or £216 for the sourcing data on its own — the £20 a month plan, billed annually.

Searchland
Standard
£4,000
LandTech

£3,620
Nimbus

That is £3,000 a year back into your next deal.

We can charge less because we cost less to run: a small team, no sales force, and no venture capital demanding a price rise every year. The platform is also only part of what we do — the others sell a sourcing platform and nothing else.
