Two days of property analysis, reduced to minutes.

Exemplary Properties invest in residential property, and before any deal could be taken seriously someone had to build the case for it: sold prices for the street, comparable properties nearby, likely rent, yield, the EPC - each figure looked up on a portal or a public register and copied into a spreadsheet by hand.

A thorough appraisal took the best part of two working days, and it usually fell to one person - the one who understood the spreadsheet. That made analysis the bottleneck: deals queued behind whoever had the time, and a mistyped figure could quietly survive all the way to a purchase decision.

None of it was a technology ambition. It was a process problem - good judgement waiting on slow, error-prone legwork.

We built a bespoke analysis platform around the way Exemplary already appraise deals. Paste in a property listing - or enter the details manually - and it gathers the evidence itself: sold prices from HM Land Registry, energy performance data from the EPC register and comparable properties nearby, then scores the deal and returns a clear recommendation with every figure traceable to its source.

The scoring follows Exemplary's own appraisal method - our job was to turn that method into software that applies it consistently, not to reinvent it. What used to depend on one person's spreadsheet discipline now runs the same way for everyone, every time.

The platform also manages the portfolio they already own: each property's analysis history, rent received and arrears in one place, searchable by address or postcode. The whole team logs in - no more emailing spreadsheet versions around.

The workflow now: a listing looks interesting, someone pastes the link, and minutes later there's a scored appraisal with the evidence attached. Deals that would have queued for days get a same-morning answer, and weak ones are ruled out before they cost anyone an afternoon.

Because the data comes from live feeds rather than hand-copying, the numbers are current and consistent - and because the platform is shared, analysis no longer depends on one person being at their desk. The spreadsheets have been retired entirely.

The judgement is still theirs. The platform doesn't decide what to buy - it makes sure every decision starts from the same complete, current evidence, at a fraction of the old cost in time.
