Deal Score
A 0-100 score computed from nine weighted components, always on profit after tax, never before it.
Nine components, each carrying its own reasoning: margin, resilience under stress, exit optionality, capital recycling, seller motivation, completion probability, jurisdiction readiness, protection status and valuation confidence.
The score is computed on profit after tax. A pre-tax appraisal overstates every deal, and overstates marginal ones most — which is exactly where the decision matters.
Hard gates cap it. A seller protection block caps the score at 35 and forces a rejection, whatever the margin says.

A check that can stop a transaction outright, not warn about it. A block caps the Deal Score at 35, forces a rejection and counts the buyer as zero. Absent…

- What open property data shows before a listing
Price Paid Data and the EPC register are free, official and quietly revealing. Together they show which properties were prepared for sale and never sold.
- When a deal pack becomes a financial promotion
Direct property purchase sits outside the perimeter. Package it, share it, or publish a return, and the same pack becomes something only an authorised person…
