When we started our property investment journey just over three years ago, we quickly realised how time-consuming the process could be. Like many investors, we spent hours trawling through Rightmove listings, identifying properties that might suit our strategy. But that was only the beginning. Once we found something of interest, we would then spend even more time crunching numbers, researching comparables, estimating costs, and trying to determine if it was actually a good deal.
It was labour intensive, repetitive, and far from efficient.
With over 30 years’ experience as a software engineer, I began to wonder if there was a better way. Could we use technology specifically AI to streamline this process and remove the bottlenecks that slowed us down week after week?
That question marked the beginning of what would eventually become Property Assistant.
Property Assistant was created with a single goal: to help investors save time and make smarter, faster decisions. At its core, it’s a set of AI-powered assistants that take over the most time-consuming parts of the investment process property discovery and deal analysis.
Instead of manually searching for listings and running calculations yourself, you tell the Assistant what you’re looking for. For example, “Properties in Blackburn that need a light refurbishment.” The Assistant gets to work in the background, using semantic analysis to scour listings and identify those that match your criteria.
Once properties are identified, a second Assistant begins evaluating them—just like you would, but faster and with complete consistency.
It analyses each property to determine whether it stacks up as a potential investment. This includes:
This process, which used to take hours (if not days), now happens in minutes.
After analysis, the properties are automatically sorted into your investment pipeline:
Approved properties appear in your “To View” swimlane, complete with figures and the ability to book a viewing directly. There’s no need to juggle spreadsheets or copy-paste data from one place to another.
What used to be a slow and manual process has now become efficient and focused. Property Assistant doesn’t just save time it helps you move faster on the right opportunities, and spend your energy closing deals, not chasing them.
If you’re a property investor who feels bogged down by admin, or if you're spending hours a week just trying to work out what’s worth viewing there’s a better way.
Property Assistant was built to solve this exact problem and it’s already changed how we invest.
