FAQ 3Quick Verdict
PlanPost is a UK-focused lead-generation service for builders and construction companies that identifies relevant planning applications and sends branded letters to the homeowners behind them. Someone might care if they want to reach potential extension or loft-conversion customers early, without manually checking planning portals and arranging each mailing.
The service appears to automate the planning-lead pipeline: it monitors new applications, supports lead search, and prints and posts letters on the user's behalf. The main decision points are whether planning-based outreach fits the business and whether the available coverage, contact-data process, and plan limits meet its needs.
Key Features
- Monitors new UK planning applications on the day they are filed.
- Covers monitoring across 389 UK councils, according to the website.
- Prints and posts branded letters to homeowners.
- Includes auto-send functionality.
- Provides a lead pipeline and search tools.
- The Starter plan includes one letter template, 25 letters per month, auto-send, one user, and letters included in the subscription.
- Pricing starts at £39 per month before VAT, shown as £46.80 including VAT for the Starter plan. The website says there are no contracts, setup fees, or hidden charges, and that customers can cancel online at any time.
The website does not clearly state how it defines a "relevant" application, whether homeowner contact data is supplied or how it is sourced, or how follow-up and reporting work in practice. Verify those details before relying on the service for a particular sales process.
Who this is for
PlanPost is best suited to UK builders and construction companies seeking leads for work connected to planning applications, particularly businesses interested in extensions or loft conversions. It may be useful for teams that want a repeatable direct-mail process and have enough geographic coverage and monthly letter volume to justify a subscription.
It is less clearly suited to businesses operating outside the UK, selling services unrelated to planning applications, or needing detailed information about homeowner data sources and consent. The available information does not clearly state coverage beyond the UK, the details of the Professional and Business plans, or limits beyond the Starter plan's 25 letters per month. Confirm those points on the official website before signing up.
