Property answer
See which licensing schemes may apply to a property instead of piecing together separate council pages by hand.
Know what licensing applies before you act.
Check a property, follow the council source, and see how current the answer is before you rely on it.

The hard part is trusting the answer.
Locastica keeps the property answer tied to the source trail, the freshness of the evidence, and the current review status.
Source trail
Open the designation, fee, or guidance source behind the answer rather than relying on a black-box summary.
Review boundary
Keep freshness, confidence, and review status visible so teams know where more checking is still required.
The public site is for orientation. The workspace is for decisions.
Every workflow starts from the same core product: property-level licensing intelligence with provenance, freshness, confidence, and a clear next step.
Landlords
Check one property at a time, see what applies, and use reports as outputs when a lender, insurer, or process asks for them.
Portfolio teams
Track obligations, freshness, and change risk across multiple properties instead of relying on isolated one-off checks.
PropTech and integrations
Start with Professional for self-serve API access and move to Enterprise when you need embedded workflows or contracted volume.
Simple launch pricing for landlords, portfolio teams, and API buyers.
Start with a tightly limited free tier, move up as the workflow becomes more operational, and use a contract-led Enterprise path when licensing intelligence needs to sit inside a broader platform.

Monthly at launch
Annual billing is not part of the launch scope. The goal is a clean monthly model that buyers can understand quickly.
Free stays controlled
Free proves usefulness without exposing premium source detail, deep report volume, or API access.
Enterprise stays contact-led
Higher-volume and embedded use stays contract-scoped so support, workflow terms, and API volume are priced deliberately.
API access uses the same licensing answer.
Professional includes self-serve API access for operational teams. Enterprise stays contract-led when you need embedded workflows, higher-volume allowances, or support terms.
Property lookup responses keep source provenance, freshness, and confidence visible.
Professional includes 5,000 requests per month on the self-serve path.
Enterprise conversations cover embedded use, support expectations, and contracted volume.
