Property acquisition intelligence
Your acquisition criteria,
continuously applied.
Define exactly what you’re looking for. PropSignals screens opportunities against your mandate, filters out the noise and shows you the properties that deserve your attention.
Membership is £99 per month and application based — see membership details.
The problem
More listings isn’t the answer. Fewer decisions is.
Most active investors already see plenty of property. The work is in repeatedly opening alerts, checking each one against a mental list of criteria, and rejecting the majority. PropSignals does that screening continuously, so you spend your time on the small number of opportunities that actually warrant it.

For investors
We don’t tell you what a good investment looks like.
You do.
Portal saved searches filter on location, price and bedrooms. An acquisition mandate goes considerably deeper. You define the strategy; PropSignals applies it consistently to every opportunity it screens, on your behalf, every time.
The same property can be a strong match for one investor and a clear rejection for another. There is no universal “good deal” score — only your mandate, applied properly.

Property analysis
More than an alert. An assessment you can act on.
Every opportunity that reaches you comes with the reasoning behind it — which mandate rules it passed, what the numbers show, and where the evidence runs out.

If the evidence isn’t good enough, we’ll tell you.
Refurbishment cost is marked unknown rather than estimated, because no reliable figure is currently available for this property. We don’t manufacture precision we don’t have.

Property opportunities are continuously screened against your mandate as they arise.
- 03
Criteria are applied
Objective rules are checked consistently, every time, without fatigue or shortcuts.
- 04
Evidence is analysed
Financial and property information is assessed, with each figure labelled by how well it's evidenced.
- 05
Opportunities are classified
Each opportunity is marked Reject, Review or Strong Match against your specific mandate.
- 06
You focus on what warrants attention
You spend your time investigating the small number of opportunities that deserve it.
Evidence philosophy
If the evidence isn’t good enough, we’ll tell you.
PropSignals doesn’t invent rents, refurbishment costs or valuations to make an analysis look complete. Every figure that matters is labelled by how well it’s supported, so you always know what you’re relying on.
- KNOWN
- Directly evidenced information — a stated asking price, a confirmed EPC rating.
- CALCULATED
- Deterministically derived from evidenced inputs — a yield worked out from a known price and rent.
- ESTIMATED
- Supported by market evidence or disclosed assumptions, but not independently verified.
- UNKNOWN
- Insufficient reliable evidence. We say so, rather than guessing.
Where PropSignals sits
Discovery, screening and initial analysis.
PropSignals sits alongside these, not instead of them. It continuously applies your personal mandate and gives you an evidence-based starting point — it isn’t a replacement for everything a professional sourcer does.
| Category | What it gives you | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Property portals | Inventory and saved-search alerts across the market. | Filters are shallow — location, price and bedrooms — and every match is left for you to assess. |
| Property calculators | Detailed analysis of a property you've already found. | You still have to find, shortlist and input each opportunity yourself. |
| Professional sourcers | Relationships, negotiation, physical due diligence and transaction support. | Typically charge a substantial fee per successful acquisition. |
| PropSignals | Continuous, personalised screening against your acquisition mandate, with transparent evidence-based analysis on what warrants attention — before you decide whether to investigate further. | |
Controlled overlap
Why membership is application based.
If PropSignals identifies a strong opportunity for a member, we don’t believe that same match should automatically be distributed to an unlimited number of substantially competing investors. It would erode the value of membership for everyone.
So every new application is reviewed against existing acquisition coverage before it’s accepted.
What we look at
- Location and target postcode districts
- Investment strategy
- Budget range
- Property type and bedroom requirements
- Refurbishment appetite
- Yield and return requirements
Two mandates can coexist
Two investors in the same postcode aren’t necessarily competing — one seeking a £70k–£100k turnkey buy-to-let and another seeking a £140k–£200k heavy-refurbishment flip can both hold coverage in the same district.
Where an application substantially overlaps existing coverage, the applicant may be offered waiting-list status rather than immediate acceptance. There is no published numerical membership limit — applications are assessed individually.
