Find the owner who needs to sell, before the market does.
DealBrief reads the official record every day. It catches the legal events that signal a forced or motivated sale, then joins them to HM Land Registry titles. You get the owner under real pressure, the likely decision-maker, and a compliant draft letter, in your inbox each morning. Sources: Companies House, The Gazette, HM Land Registry.
14-day free trial. No minimum term. Your first briefing arrives tomorrow at 9am.
Built on official open data: HM Land Registry, Companies House and The Gazette, the same registers the professionals use. No scraping.

- ✓LPA receiver appointed, 12 Mar 2026 (The Gazette) · party to contact on a sale
- ⚠Winding-up petition on record (The Gazette)
- ⚠Accounts 14 months overdue, due 30 Sep 2024 (Companies House)
- ⚠Fixed charge held by Lloyds, registered 2019 (Companies House)
- ⚠Equity headroom: thin, modelled, indicative
- ⚠EPC E · MEES exposure, below the tightening minimum letting standard
- ▪Corner plot, exit optionality
Indicative £1.8m-£2.1m · ~7.5% gross yield (indicative, not a RICS valuation)
Harlow Trade Park shows the classic shape of a forced sale: an LPA receiver is now appointed, accounts are well overdue, and a 2019 Lloyds charge sits over thin modelled equity. The receiver is the live counterparty, so a clean, funded, quick completion is the strongest approach. The MEES clock and corner-plot optionality add upside for a repositioning buyer.

Lists don't find motivated sellers. Owners do.
Portals and search tools show you properties. But the deals that actually transact off-market come from owners with a reason to move: a receiver just appointed, a charge in default, an 80-year-old sole director with no succession, a portfolio winding down. That signal is buried across Companies House, The Gazette and the Land Registry, and a VA spends days stitching it together. By the time it surfaces, it's not off-market any more.
"Searchland gives you a list. DealBrief gives you a distressed owner."
Most owners are fine. We surface the few who aren’t.
A whole street looks identical from the kerb. The pressure is in the filings: receiverships, petitions, sub-standard EPCs. We watch them so you don’t.
Three steps from buy-box to first conversation.

Get a daily briefing
Top owners under pressure, ranked by stress score and delivered to your inbox each morning at 9am UK time. When a saved owner's situation escalates, a petition becomes an order, a receiver lands, they resurface automatically.

Every score shows its working.
A score you cannot check is just another guru claim. So we never give you a number on its own. Every stress score breaks down into the signals that built it, each one adding its points, each fact linked to the filing it came from. Here is how one owner reached 84.

The research, the shortlist and the first draft, done.
Most property-data platforms give you a map, an ownership database and filters, then leave the work to you. DealBrief covers that same ground, ownership, planning, parcels, flood, EPC, comparables, and then does the part that matters: it tells you who's under pressure to sell, who to contact, and writes the message.

482,659 rented homes on a statutory clock.
We've mapped 482,659 private-rented homes in England & Wales with an EPC of E, F or G. 47,733 of them are unlawful to let right now under the minimum energy standard, and the rest face the 2030 MEES deadline, when every privately rented home must reach EPC C. Their landlords face the same choice: spend serious money on retrofit, or sell.
None of this is visible to portal-based tools, because none of these properties are listed. The pressure lives in the EPC register and the energy rules, not on Rightmove. To our knowledge, no other platform offers this dataset.
A UK sourcing fee is £3,000 to £5,000. DealBrief is £199 a month.
You source the deals yourself, on your own terms. We leave you to do the rest of the sum.
About 300 letters works out at roughly 3 leads.
Off-market outreach is a numbers game and we will not pretend otherwise. We tell you the real conversion you should expect, so you can plan the work. No income promises. No talk of getting rich. No lock-in. Just a sharper list than you could build yourself, and the truth about what it takes.
Contact owners the way the ICO expects.
The rules around contacting people are not an afterthought here. They shape how the whole approach is built, so you can reach out with confidence rather than crossing your fingers.
- Letters only. We draft a neutral approach that never references the owner's situation.
- We process B2B contact data under a legitimate-interest basis for direct outreach.
- Every letter carries a source line naming HM Land Registry, inserted automatically.
- We screen against the Mailing Preference Service before you send.
- One-click opt-out is built into every approach.
