Search by address or postcode, then confirm the exact property. Add price, rent and finance details if you have them.
DealGrade gathers data on the property and the area, weighs it across five risk categories, and gives you a DG Score from 0 to 100, plus how confident it is in that score.
See the plain-English reasons behind the score, test how the numbers hold up, compare your shortlist, and download a report before you make an offer.
What makes up the score
The DG Score runs 0 to 100. Higher means a stronger deal and lower relative risk. Your score combines all five categories, with the riskier ones counting for more.
Local demand, sale liquidity, and how fast a deal could become hard to shift.
Income stability and sensitivity to voids or weak rental comparables.
Leverage, debt service, and how quickly cashflow gets squeezed if costs move.
Lease length, ground rent, service charge, and major-works exposure on leaseholds.
How easily the asset could be sold or refinanced if your plans change.
Where the data comes from
Every number traces back to a named, dated, licensed government source: Land Registry sales, ONS prices and rents, the EPC register, Police UK crime, Environment Agency flood and coastal-erosion mapping, Coal Authority reporting areas, Defra air quality and road noise, and more. Nothing is scraped from listings sites, and nothing about the score is hidden.
Each score notes the dates of the data and which version of the scoring it used, so you can see exactly what was known at the time.
Severe flood risk puts a hard ceiling on the score, so a deal on a floodplain can never look artificially strong.
Missing data lowers confidence and is reported as a gap. It is never quietly scored as a pass.
How confidence works
We never hide uncertainty. The confidence level tells you how much weight to put on a score before you act.
Recent data and a clear, property-level match give you a firmer starting point. Check the key facts before relying on it.
A few gaps or slightly older data. Useful, but confirm the key numbers.
Thin or dated data. Treat it as a first read and dig deeper before relying on it.
It is
A fast, evidence-backed read on where a deal is strong and where it is weak, with the reasons shown and the data dated.
It isn't
A valuation, a survey, or financial, legal, or tax advice. It never promises a return. Always do your own due diligence.
