Introducing Harold Land: one workspace for every land opportunity

Most land teams already own more deals than they realise. They are sitting in old appraisals, archived folders, spreadsheets and inboxes: sites reviewed once, ruled out and rarely revisited.

Harold Land turns those records into a working portfolio. Start with a few words or a title number, connect the sources and templates you trust, then focus professional attention on the changes worth reviewing.

Your historic pipeline should not stay historic

A site that did not work three years ago may look different today. Planning policy, ownership, build costs, values and affordable-housing assumptions can all move; a live developer or acquisition requirement may change the context too.

Harold can monitor thousands of historic sites and past appraisals against the sources you choose. It surfaces changes into a queue for professional review, rather than treating a signal as an automatic conclusion.

That gives teams a practical way to revisit the archive without manually reopening every file. Review stays with the people who understand the deal and the local context.

Start with a few words or one title number

A short instruction, site reference or title number is enough to begin. Where the relevant sources are connected, Harold can assemble the location, ownership, planning, market and appraisal context around the site.

The result is a working record, not a black-box answer. Sources stay linked, missing evidence is marked as missing and provisional assumptions remain provisional.

Use your data and your appraisal

Every land team has its own evidence base, appraisal logic and approval process. Harold is configured around the documents, sources, terminology and templates your team chooses.

The same approved structure can support a new site or a historic appraisal. It makes the portfolio easier to compare without claiming that every site, source or assumption is complete.

One connected record, consistent outputs

Each site can bring together documents, emails, plans, planning material, appraisal work, tasks, ownership and decision history. Board, list and map views make that same record useful when progressing a live deal, reviewing a portfolio or tracing the reasoning behind an earlier decision.

When a review is ready, Harold can use your approved templates for consistent internal reports, appraisal outputs and decision materials. The output remains connected to the underlying sources and unresolved questions, so a polished document does not hide uncertainty.

The aim is continuity, not a new reporting layer. Colleagues can see the same evidence, assumptions and next questions wherever they enter the record.

How this works

Harold connects the documents, emails, planning material, appraisal inputs and chosen data sources available to the team. It structures that evidence against the firm’s approved workflow, compares current information with earlier assumptions, marks missing or provisional inputs and places material changes into a queue for professional review.

Sources used

The source set depends on the client configuration. It can include internal appraisals, site documents, correspondence, planning portals and policy documents, title or ownership information where connected, and approved market, cost and viability data. Each output should retain links to the underlying evidence used.

Limitations and professional review

Coverage, licensing, update frequency and source quality vary. Harold does not establish legal title, determine a planning outcome or replace a planner, surveyor, valuer, solicitor or investment committee; it organises evidence and flags questions for qualified people to review.
