Price context first
Asking price is checked against sold-price signals, local medians, and any exact-match evidence before the deal is presented as cheap.
Sold evidence, median gap, discount view
Trust method
How PropertyScout checks the numbers.
The app is built to separate evidence from assumptions before a property looks like a deal. This is the decision standard behind Deal Packs, previews, pricing checks, and one-off analyses.
Numbers method
Serious property decisions need evidence, not guesswork.
PropertyScout is being shaped around one rule: show what is known, show what is estimated, and keep weak proof visible before a deal looks offer-ready.
What number is directly evidenced and what is only estimated?
Would the deal still work if rent, refurb, or resale assumptions move against us?
Are flip returns shown after works and costs rather than as simple uplift?
What should the buyer, sourcer, or investor check before committing?

Rent support is labelled
Rent is separated into observed, estimated, and weak-support states so yield and cashflow do not look stronger than the rent evidence.
Rent estimate, support level, stress range
Flip profit is not uplift
Flip deals separate exit value, works, buying costs, holding costs, selling costs, net profit, ROI, and break-even sale price.
Profit after works, net profit, ROI
Costs are visible
Stamp duty, refurb, finance assumptions, fees, and buffers stay visible so a strong headline number can be challenged quickly.
SDLT, works budget, finance and fees
Multiple routes can survive
A deal can show BTL, BRR, HMO, serviced accommodation, or flip potential at the same time instead of forcing one label too early.
Viable plays, lead route, next check
Open checks stay open
The pack calls out the evidence still missing before a viewing, offer, lender conversation, or buyer handoff.
Risk flags, evidence gaps, checklist
Source found
Observed
Facts pulled from the listing, floorplan, EPC, photos, map, sold prices, or saved evidence.
Model support
Estimated
Rent, refurb, valuation, cashflow, or strategy assumptions that are useful but still need checking.
Nearest support
Proxy-backed
Useful market signals where an exact match is not available, such as nearby solds or broad rent context.
Do not rely yet
Missing
Evidence gaps that should block confidence until the user, agent, solicitor, lender, or viewing confirms them.
Review standard
No hidden gross-uplift-as-profit shortcuts.
No confidence label when key proof is missing.
No single-strategy lock-in when multiple routes might work.
No Deal Pack without a visible next check.
Buyer questions
The pack should answer the questions a serious buyer asks first.
This is why the product keeps proof, risks, strategy routes, and next checks close to the headline numbers instead of hiding them in notes.
