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 · v1.54.0 (in progress)- Improved Place and area search now display the required open-data source attribution wherever place suggestions and area labels appear.
- Improved Groundwork for town-name search: every UK town and village is now known to the platform (searchable from the next update).

- Improved Property search over dense city areas is dramatically faster and more reliable.
- Improved Zooming the map out to the whole country now shows a friendly "zoom in to search this area" note instead of a long wait and an error.
- Improved In-app notifications look cleaner, can be dismissed with a close button, and watchlist changes offer a one-tap Undo.
- Improved The Deal Finder area picker is now searchable, with full keyboard navigation.
- Improved On phones, property details open in a smooth bottom sheet you can swipe away.
- Improved Spreadsheet exports are hardened against formula injection.
- Improved The sidebar now follows your investment journey — from discovery through to delivery — with a cleaner, bolder look.

- Improved The area heatmap overlay is easier to read with a stronger colour.
- Improved Sold or removed listings are cleared out faster, keeping search and Deal Finder results current.
- Improved Deal Finder rankings and saved-search alerts are more accurate — every new match is caught, alert preferences survive renames, and price floors reflect live listings only.
- Improved Better keyboard accessibility across dropdowns, tables, calendars, and the gallery.
- Improved Searching a full postcode now returns the nearest listings by distance, so you always get results instead of an empty page.
- 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 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 Sort search results by more options, including rent-to-price ratio.
- Improved Search filters adapt more intelligently to your screen size.
