In build · UK property intelligence
Sankofa Resources Group is building the system of record for UK planning, development, public sector and capital data — engineered for institutions that cannot afford to be wrong.

Sample view of the dashboard we are building across planning, delivery, capital and public sector signals — configurable by geography, tenure, counterparty and time horizon. Figures shown are synthetic.

01 — Intelligence Modules
Each module is independently licensed, jointly queryable, and built on the same normalised entity graph. Select the modules relevant to your mandate — they carry through to your enquiry.
Module 01
Applications, appeals, conditions and committee decisions across English and Welsh local planning authorities — normalised, geocoded and searchable in one schema.
02 — Property Intelligence Services
Before you buy it. Before you develop it. Before you invest in it. Understand it. Four levels of engagement, each adding depth of investigation, weight of evidence and professional input — not simply a longer document. Scope and fee are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
S1
£495
A focused first-pass intelligence engagement for a client who needs to understand a property, site or opportunity before committing further time or capital.
S2
£950
A deeper decision-support brief for investors, developers, acquisition professionals and property businesses needing a more developed evidence base, risk picture and commercial context before progressing an opportunity.
S3
£1,750+
A substantial pre-acquisition and development intelligence engagement for meaningful capital decisions.
S4
from £3,500+
For multi-site comparisons, acquisition programmes, complex ownership and evidence questions, portfolio screening, recurring intelligence requirements and institutional mandates.
Sankofa Property Intelligence provides decision-support intelligence. It is not a RICS valuation, legal advice, regulated investment advice, formal surveying or statutory planning advice, and no investment or development outcome is guaranteed. Where specialist regulated or professional advice is required, clients should obtain it from an appropriately qualified professional. Online payment is not yet connected — engagements are scoped, confirmed in writing and invoiced directly.
Engage Sankofa03 — Why Sankofa
Property decisions fail on missing context, not on missing enthusiasm. Our work exists to make the position clear while it is still cheap to change your mind.
Planning records, market evidence and public sector material sit in different places and different formats. We convert them into something a decision can actually be taken on.
Every material statement is traced to what supports it. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than filling the gap with confidence.
Planning, development, market and local-authority context examined together, because a property decision fails at the seams between them.
AI and research tooling accelerate the work. The conclusions are formed, checked and signed by people.
The purpose is to make the position clear while it is still cheap to change your mind.
We judge the work by whether it changed or confirmed a decision — not by the length of the document.
Value your work by the value it creates.

The design intent is that models sit on the underlying documents — committee reports, inspector decisions, financial statements — not on scraped summaries. No model is connected in this build; AI accelerates analyst work, it does not replace the judgement behind a conclusion.
In development
Approval likelihood scored per scheme from officer reports, policy context and authority behaviour.
In development
Structured extraction across S106 agreements, viability appraisals and inspector decisions.
Roadmap
Natural-language interrogation of the corpus with citations to the source document.

Planned licensed access to modules, entitlements by team, scheduled extracts and a direct line to the analysts behind each dataset.
Portal access
The client portal is in build and has no accounts yet. When it opens, institutions will sign in with their organisation credentials; organisations are onboarded through the intelligence team.

09 — How We Think
Operating philosophy, kept short because it is used. These are working rules for how the firm behaves, not decoration.
If they don't get it, they won't trust it.
Clarity is a trust mechanism, not a style preference.
Every visitor sees Sankofa for the first time. Build for that moment.
Familiarity is ours, never theirs.
Value your work by the value it creates.
Price follows consequence, not page count.
The race is not for the swift, but for those who endure.
Infrastructure is built on a long clock.
These principles were not written before the journey. They were discovered during it.
They are revised when the work teaches us something better.
