Know what's coming before you commit.
Two intelligence reports built from official Irish government data.
One for buyers who want to know what's really happening around a property. One for anyone about to submit a planning application who wants to know their odds before they apply.
You viewed the house on a quiet Sunday. What you didn't see was the 40-apartment block lodged with the council eighty metres up the road, the week before you fell in love with it.
Planning data is public. But it lives across 31 separate local-authority portals, written for planners, not people. Ptolemi gathers all of it, reads it, and gives you the full picture in language that actually makes sense.
Three steps. No planning degree required.
No account required. No subscription. Pay once, get your report.
The pattern is the warning.
Even when nothing is active right now, the data tells a story. Developers who keep trying. Areas where applications cluster. Neighbourhoods where refusals keep getting appealed. Ptolemi surfaces these patterns so you're never blindsided by something that was always coming.
3 applications for apartment blocks on this road since 2015
Two refused. One under appeal. The developer hasn't stopped.
Application activity in Salthill has increased 67% since 2021
Mostly commercial and residential intensification.
Fingal County Council refuses 1 in 3 apartment applications
But approval rates for extensions are 91% when similar precedents exist nearby.
Not a search. Not a database. An analysis.
Every report is unique to the address and context you provide.
Ptolemi analyses thousands of data points across planning records, zoning, transport, demographics and property prices, identifies what is relevant to your specific situation, and produces a tailored analysis you will not find anywhere else.
The result is not a list of raw figures. It is a clear, specific assessment of what the evidence means for you.
Every insight is specific to your address, your planning authority, your area. Ptolemi does not just present the data. It interprets it, identifies trends, surfaces observations you would not spot yourself, and explains what it all means in a way anyone can understand.
No two Ptolemi reports are ever the same.
Two reports. One decision.

The right report for your situation.
Buying a property in Ireland?
You're about to spend hundreds of thousands of euros on a decision that will affect you for decades.
The planning history around a property, what has been approved nearby, what is coming, how the area is zoned, how it scores on transport and amenities... none of that is easy to find and nobody has put it all in one place.
The Area Intelligence Report gives you the full picture before you make an offer.
Submitting a planning application?
Most applications are decided before they are submitted.
The planning authority, the zoning, the precedents set by similar applications nearby: these factors determine your outcome more than the quality of your drawings.
The Planning Intelligence Report shows you how applications like yours have performed in your area, what gets approved, what gets refused, and what you should address before you apply.
