EG (Estates Gazette / EGi) alternatives for commercial real estate

Relevant only to owners, brokers, and analysts operating in the UK, Sweden, or Finland who need local commercial real estate intelligence — this is a regional specialist, not a global platform. Being acquired by RCA (MSCI) in 2019 gives it institutional backing and potential integration with MSCI's broader real estate data ecosystem. US-focused buyers or anyone outside those three markets should look elsewhere; Datscha's value is entirely tied to its specific geographic coverage.

Buyer: UK land buyers, developers, and planning consultants sourcing and appraising development sites who need ownership, planning, and zoning status layered onto a map-based workflow. Strength: LandInsight's mapping-first approach to site sourcing is purpose-built for the UK planning system in a way generic data platforms aren't. Caveat: strictly UK-based -- irrelevant to US CRE buyers -- and it's a sourcing/appraisal tool, not a full underwriting or construction management platform.

A UK/Ireland construction sales-leads and market-intelligence database (590K+ tracked projects) used by contractors, manufacturers/suppliers, and specialist trades to source pipeline — this is a leads/data product for the construction supply chain, not a CRE investment or asset-management tool, and it's UK/Ireland-only so has no US CRE applicability.

Site-sourcing and ownership-data platform for UK land and property, aimed at residential developers, land agents, care-home developers, and renewable-energy (solar/wind/battery) site developers. A LandTech product line, not a standalone company; core focus is UK land, not broader CRE.

Rightmove Commercial is the commercial-property listings arm of Rightmove, the UK's dominant residential portal — it's where UK agents, surveyors, landlords, and developers advertise offices, retail, warehouse, leisure, and land assets for sale or letting, and where investors/occupiers search for space. Rightmove Commercial claims 66% of UK portal traffic for commercial listings, roughly 4x its nearest competitor, making it primarily a marketing/lead-gen channel for agents rather than an analytics or due-diligence tool. Pricing is a per-branch monthly subscription (tiered packages), and fees have risen sharply in recent years — reported at up to ~£1,750/month per branch for top packages, with average annual per-branch costs climbing from ~£15.8K (2022) to ~£18.3K (2024) — though these published figures are largely residential-side reporting and may not isolate the commercial-only fee.

Searchland is a UK-only land sourcing and planning-data platform for developers, land agents, and planning consultants finding and evaluating off-market development sites (ownership, planning applications, local plan policy, Green Belt/flood/conservation constraints) — not a general CRE investment or asset-management tool, and not usable outside the UK. It differs from US-centric CRE software by being planning/GIS-first rather than financial-underwriting-first.
