What's new November 2018
Local buyer demand
For the first time on PropertyData, we now cross-reference recent transaction volume and stock levels to determine turnover levels and whether a local area is a buyer's or seller's market. Perhaps unsurprisingly, volumes are low nationwide right now and most localities report as a buyer's market.
Repossessed / unmodernised property lists
We've started using our own algorithms to track repossessed and unmodernised properties coming to market around the country. PropertyData 'Max' users can access these lists, which are updated in real-time, in table or map format.
Downloadable property reports
We are now trialling individual property .pdf reports, containing key information including the most relevant local comparable sold transactions and asking prices. Access these via Local data, or from Rightmove/Zoopla with our browser extension.
Independent schools
We've added independent schools (in blue) to the existing state school data in our 'schools' tab map, along with links to ISI reports. Our preliminary research suggests higher prices and rental yields around high-performing independent schools.
Email summaries
Starting last month, you will now receive a monthly email summary with the latest statistics and most recent registered transactions for each of your saved areas. The emails will be sent out near the end each month to coincide with the latest Land Registry data releases. You can manage email preferences in the email or your account area.
We always seek to streamline PropertyData to keep it as simple and user-friendly as possible. This month we have decided to remove all short let data from the platform, due to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient data volume (partly as a result of government enforcement of the '90 day rule') and minimal use of this part of our data by our customers.
