We have launched a comprehensive data package to help the UK’s property professionals manage housing and land assets.
Asset, sustainability, environmental and risk managers, plus surveyors, developers and landowners, are among those set to benefit from ODCGIS Property Insights.
It has been built in partnership with industry experts in property and land data and provides a single combined and analysed output readily accessible through spreadsheet or GIS data formats.
Users can:
- fill data gaps with Ordnance Survey NGD data such as building heights, number of floors, construction type, build year, roof type, solar presence, basement presence
- evaluate the risk of flooding with Twinn by Haskoning climate data
- assess the risk of trees affecting properties with Bluesky National Tree Map data
- analyse biodiversity, and heat, wildfire and drought risks, with data from Map Impact
- understand ownership responsibilities through Land Registry ownership data
- assess radon risk using BGS (British Geological Survey) radon data
- analyse Open Data added such as indices of multiple deprivation ranks, boundary information, subsistence risk, coal mining areas, conservation areas, proximity to fire stations and hospitals, gas and water lines
A strategic resource designed to not only fill in some of those data gaps but to also provide further insight, ODCGIS Property Insights combines the most accurate and up-to-date national base datasets with ODCGIS analytics.
The aim is to equip users, who need no GIS knowledge or skills, with a simple, readily accessible way to analyse the condition and spatial context of assets, make decisions on repairs, maintenance and investments, assess flood, subsidence, radon and other insurance risks and optimise contractor management.
Craig Godwin, ODCGIS Managing Director, said: “By its very nature the land and property market is a key area of data activity. However, sourcing the most appropriate data is no longer the main issue for most users. The challenge is how to analyse it effectively – in other words, how to turn data into useful intelligence. That’s exactly what ODCGIS Property Insights enables.
“By hosting, processing and contextualising essential datasets and combining them with analysis through ODCGIS Property Insights, we can help customers embed location intelligence in their business information.
“This means they can make more informed and operationally sound decisions on all kinds of property-related costs, investment potential, risk management and strategic planning.
“ODCGIS Property Insights is for any professional involved in property management.”
Rick Thompson, Director of Operations at Oxfordshire-based ODCGIS, said: “We know from years of experience that customers truly value data but, equally, they often need help to unlock it and ensure it is easily accessible.
“A key consideration in developing and trialling ODCGIS Property Insights was that the solution should be as easy to use as possible by people without prior specialist knowledge of how to source or manipulate digital map data on screen.
“All the data sources and analysis are combined into one output, one product, for the client, so they don’t have to do any legwork.
“From the user perspective, the granular analysis it enables will help fill gaps in asset management data showing, for example, that a particular property is mid-terrace as opposed to end-terrace.
“The level of detail you can analyse seamlessly is totally scalable, from the outlines of buildings and green spaces to the risk of flood, subsidence or radon, and how EPC ratings will feed into environmental reports.”
ODCGIS Property Insights is the latest enhancement to our solutions portfolio which provides access to digital geographic content through managed services, data capture and provision and GIS consultancy.
Customers, partners, integrators and suppliers use ODCGIS to source mapping, aerial photography, addressing, height data, historical maps and environmental reports.
*ODCGIS Property Insights is a key theme of our presence at the forthcoming Housing Innovation Show, taking place at the ICC Birmingham on 4 and 5 February 2026. As well as exhibiting the solution on stand 32, our Director of Operations Rick Thompson will discuss its benefits for asset management and analysis in a conference presentation.
