Observed information
Details supplied by a listing or document, with their source where available. An asking price is the seller’s price, not proof of market value.
Behind the figures
A useful number has a basis you can inspect.
PropertyScout helps you assess an opportunity by keeping the inputs and evidence visible. A result is only as reliable as what it is based on.
Estimates and assumptions
Rent, works, finance and exit assumptions used to explore a scenario. Inspect the basis and change the inputs as your research develops.
Missing evidence
A gap remains a gap. If an important detail needs checking with an agent, lender, surveyor or local authority, it should stay visible.
For example: a yield is a starting point.
At a hypothetical £180,000 purchase price and £1,100 monthly rent, gross yield is £13,200 ÷ £180,000 = 7.33%.
That figure excludes financing, buying costs, works, management, maintenance, vacancies and tax. The £1,100 rent is an assumption in this example, not a verified local rent.
Review those costs and the supporting rental evidence before using a yield to judge a property. Try the rental calculator to see how costs change the picture.
What Scout adds
Scout can explain information available in the app and help you identify useful follow-up questions. It does not inspect the building or certify the source material. Keep documents, estimates and outstanding checks together as the deal develops.
