What's New
Product changelog
Every improvement we ship to Property Compass, newest first. We release continuously — this is where you can see exactly what changed and when.
Latest changes
Next release · v1.61.0 (in progress)- Improved Search results refresh automatically when listing data goes stale, so what you see stays in sync.
- Improved Refurbishment and fit-out costs now factor into seven investment calculators for more accurate return figures.
- Improved Saved analyses now display in a sortable table, with the option to delete entries.
- Improved Daily market-data limits are now based on your actual look-ups rather than every action, so you're far less likely to be blocked — you'll see cached results instead until your allowance resets the next day.
- Improved Deal verdicts now apply the right interest-cover stress-test target for your borrower type — individual basic-rate, individual higher-rate, or limited company — for more accurate red/amber/green results.
- Improved Confirmation prompts, such as delete actions, now use a consistent in-app dialog instead of your browser's native pop-up.
- Improved Postcode search now automatically retries with an alternative lookup, so you still get results if the primary service is briefly unavailable.
- Improved The pricing page now shows a clear breakdown of the VAT included in your subscription price.
- Improved Checkout now itemises the VAT included in your subscription price, and page footers and emails show our VAT registration and company numbers.
- Improved Property pages now include an interactive map with comparable sales, crime and energy-rating layers, plus one-click links into the right calculator with the listing's details already filled in.
- Improved BTL and HMO calculators now warn if your rent assumption exceeds the local housing-benefit cap, and account for ground rent and service charges in your cash-flow figures.
- Improved Watchlisted properties are now pinned to the top of your search results.
- Improved Failed background actions now show a clear error notification instead of failing silently.
- Improved Property photo carousels now show a placeholder instead of a broken image icon when a listing's photos fail to load.
- Improved Sidebar navigation reorganised — Dashboard moved to the top, and Watchlist grouped under Research.
- Improved Starting a calculator analysis from a property search now pre-fills the title and address, and works reliably even when the listing has no postcode.
- Improved Free-tier limits on the heatmap and exit-strategy comparisons now show a clear upgrade prompt instead of an error.
- Improved The top bar support button now includes a friendly "Don't Panic!" tooltip for quick help.
- Improved Energy-performance ratings on search results now reflect the specific property instead of an area-wide estimate, with a note shown when data isn't available yet.
- Improved Search results are now sorted by newest listing by default; unreliable yield, rent, and cash-flow estimates have been removed from the results view.
- Improved Your portfolio table now supports per-column filters and consistent sorting.
- Improved The search radius is now shown as a clear circle on the map, and it updates accurately as you pan or resize it.
- Improved Filters now live in a single horizontal bar, clicking a map pin scrolls its listing card into view, panning the map keeps the postcode field in sync with what you're viewing, and we removed the district hover popup that got in the way.
- Improved Deal Board rejections now include a clear reason category, so submitters know exactly why a deal wasn't approved.
- Improved Property listings now show a postcode more consistently, even when the original listing was missing one.
- Improved Added a tooltip explaining the debt-service coverage ratio behind portfolio health badges, plus a one-click "search this area" prompt after jumping to a postcode.
- Improved Hovering a map pin now shows a quick property summary, and it's no longer obscured by the district tooltip.
- Improved The calculators landing page is reorganised into clearer categories, with all 20 strategies reachable directly from property search results.
- Improved Searching an area with no existing listings now automatically fetches fresh data instead of returning zero results.
- Improved The sidebar now shows all available features, with paid-only ones clearly marked so you know what's included in each plan.
- Improved Mortgage stress-testing now uses a consistent rate across all mortgage calculators for more reliable comparisons.
- Improved The forum, community feed, member directory and deal analysis requests are now free for all members.
- Improved Duplicate property listings from multiple sources are now automatically merged into one.
- Improved Hovering a map pin now shows the property's price and address, and the Analyse button is always available with details loading in the background.
- Improved The search map now shows every matching property as a pin, with hover previews and click-to-scroll to the matching card.
- Improved Sort search results by more options, including rent-to-price ratio.
- Improved Search filters adapt more intelligently to your screen size.
- Improved Clicking Analyse on a search result now pre-fills the calculator with that property's details.
- Improved Support tickets now have a single, role-aware hub with a detail view instead of scattered pages.
- Improved Gallery images in the library can now be zoomed in for a closer look.
- Improved Smoother animations and hover effects throughout the app, plus a refreshed heading font for a more polished look.

- Improved Event details are now viewable by any signed-in member, not just paid subscribers.
