Case Study: A’lake finds and acquires first development sites with Searchland

A’lake finds 3 sites and buys 1 using SearchLand

The customer, A'lake, is a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) property developer founded by Adewole Ademolake. The challenge was sourcing viable off-market development sites efficiently without them going to public auction, which would significantly increase their purchase price. To find these opportunities, the company turned to the Sourcing Tool from Searchland.

Using Searchland’s platform, specifically its Sourcing and Planning Tools, A'lake was able to find and acquire sites by running bespoke searches based on specific plot criteria and analyzing planning data. The solution enabled the developer to find three sites and sign three options agreements, successfully purchasing one. This direct-to-vendor strategy prevented prices from doubling at auction. Searchland provided the essential tools that made finding these first sites possible.
