How GoSiteHunt works: data sources, method and limits

The trust page for GoSiteHunt: government data sources, precedent logic, residual land value method and the limits of automated feasibility screening.

The method

GoSiteHunt combines public planning, parcel, zoning, precedent, sales-anchor and feasibility logic to answer one early question: should this site move to deeper due diligence? It is not a replacement for planners, surveyors, architects, engineers, valuers, lawyers or accountants. It is an early warning system for development acquisitions.

What GoSiteHunt checks

  1. Location and parcel context.
  2. Zoning and planning controls where source data is available.
  3. Nearby precedent and council activity signals.
  4. Likely product pathway: subdivision, townhouse, apartment, retail, billboard/OOH or other supported workflows.
  5. Residual land value and sensitivity against cost/end-value assumptions.

Limits

Public datasets are imperfect and update at different speeds. Some markets require paid data for individual sold prices or official current-year application feeds. GoSiteHunt therefore labels assumptions and uses the output as a screening report, not a valuation or planning approval.

Turn the principle into an address-level test

Use the guide to understand the decision path, then run the actual address through GoSiteHunt before paying for survey, concept plans, planning advice or a full feasibility model.
