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.

Not every match is a strong match

A Review classification, illustrated.

Where a property falls short of a rule, or where evidence is missing, PropSignals says so plainly rather than rounding up to a stronger classification.

Illustrative exampleReview

Two-bed semi, Rochdale, OL12

  • Location within target postcode districts
  • Purchase price within budget
  • Minimum 3 bedrooms
  • Gross yield at or above 7.5%6.4% on estimated rent
  • EPC rating D or aboveEPC not currently available

This property is marked for review rather than rejected outright — the yield shortfall is marginal and based on an estimate, and the missing EPC is a simple check rather than a fundamental mismatch with the mandate.

What this isn’t

An analytical starting point, not a professional valuation.

An estimated rent or a calculated yield is exactly that — an estimate, clearly labelled as such. It is not a RICS valuation, a professional survey, or a formal rental appraisal, and it shouldn’t be treated as one. Where PropSignals doesn’t have reliable evidence for something that matters, it says unknown and leaves it for you to investigate — rather than producing a confident-looking figure it can’t stand behind.
