Justin Ingrey from Nottingham was spending all day at his laptop, checking Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket separately, looking for the next deal. Then he found a single Property Filter indicator that the majority of investors scroll past entirely and it led directly to two fall-through deals now completing within weeks.

Justin's challenge before Property Filter

Before Property Filter, Justin Ingrey's deal-finding process looked like most investors'. He was running alerts on Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket simultaneously, checking each platform throughout the day as new listings came through. Three portals, three separate workflows, and a full day's worth of screen time to stay on top of all of them.

Justin was also paying for separate pipeline management software to track the deals he was progressing. So his toolkit was already fragmented, different tools for different jobs, none of them talking to each other.

The deeper problem was that none of it gave Justin access to motivated seller data. He was seeing exactly what every other investor on those portals could see actively marketed listings, already picked over by other buyers. The deals happening quietly behind the scenes, where existing sales were falling apart, were completely invisible.

"I used to be at my laptop all day, looking through deals, looking at what comes up."

Justin knew the deals were there. He just did not have the data layer to see them.

How Justin Ingrey uses Property Filter to find HMO deals in Nottingham

Property Filter solved the multi-portal problem immediately. Instead of managing separate alerts on three different sites, Justin now uses it as his primary property sourcing software, it scrapes Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket and brings everything into one place. The portals still exist, but Justin only needs to look in one dashboard.

The more significant change was what he found underneath the surface data. Property Filter's motivated seller indicators layer on top of the aggregated listings, surfacing properties that would never appear in a standard search. For Justin, the key discovery was the "sold for 90+ days" indicator.

This indicator flags properties that are listed as sold on the portals but have not completed after more than 90 days. In practice, these are often sales that are about to fall through where the buyer has pulled out or the chain has collapsed, and the agent is quietly waiting for a new buyer to come forward. Justin started identifying these properties in Nottingham and ringing the agents directly.

"These have been sold for longer than 90 days. What's going on with the sale?" The agent's response: "We're glad you rang, because this sale is about to fall through. Would you like to book a viewing?"

Justin also highlighted Property Filter's built-in pipeline tool. The separate pipeline software he had been paying for was replaced entirely that functionality is already inside Property Filter, which means one less subscription and one less platform to manage.
