The product
What is Yieldhouse?
A UK property investment platform that takes a deal from first sighting to refinance and beyond. You can source, analyse, compare, stack the finance, find a lender and track your portfolio in one place, with an AI analyst that explains every number.
Who is it for?
UK investors buying buy-to-let, BRR, HMO, serviced accommodation or flips: first-time landlords, people building a portfolio, and deal sourcers or mentors who share deals with clients.
Which parts of the UK do you cover?
All four nations. Data coverage is deepest in England and Wales, where the Land Registry and EPC registers are open. In Scotland and Northern Ireland the confidence range on a score is wider where evidence is thinner.
Is it available now?
The free calculators are live today. The platform opens in beta region by region. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when your region opens.

Finding deals
Do you show every property for sale?
No, and we don't claim to. We don't scrape portals. You forward the portal alert emails from searches you already run and we score each listing, partners send us agent, auction and sourcer deal flow, and you can paste any address into the Deal Analyser.
How do I forward my portal alerts?
You get a private Yieldhouse email address. Set up a forwarding rule in your email for your saved-search alerts, or forward them by hand. Each listing in the emails you forward comes back scored.
Where do partner and auction deals come from?
From agents, auction houses and deal sourcers who choose to share listings with us. The source is shown on every deal, and any sourcing fee is shown before you contact them.
Can I analyse a property I found myself?
Yes. Paste any UK address and an asking price into the Deal Analyser, whether it came from a portal, an agent, a for-sale board or a friend.
4 questions
Scores and data
What is a Deal Score?
A number from 0 to 100 for each strategy that weighs yield, value against comparable sales, demand and risk. Every score comes with a confidence range and the evidence behind it.
How accurate are the valuations?
We give a range rather than a single figure, built from cited comparable sales. We will publish an accuracy record during the beta comparing our ranges with the prices properties later sold for. A valuation from us is not a RICS valuation or a mortgage valuation.
Can I change the assumptions?
Yes. Rent, deposit, interest rate, voids, management, maintenance and works are all editable, and the score and every yield recalculate as you type.
Can partners pay to improve a score?
No. Deal Scores are computed from data only. No partner, lender, agent or referral fee can change one.
4 questions
Finance
Are you a mortgage broker?
No. Yieldhouse is not a lender or broker and does not give advice. Finance is arranged by an FCA-authorised broker partner, if you choose to use them.
How do you make money from finance?
If you go ahead with our broker partner, we may receive a referral fee. It is disclosed to you before you proceed and never affects your Deal Score or the order of your matches.
What finance can you help with?
Finance Finder matches deals to buy-to-let, bridging, HMO, development and refurb-to-let criteria. The broker partner then advises on and arranges the product.
Is a stress test the same as a mortgage offer?
No. Our stress tests show how a deal behaves under common lender tests. Only a lender can make an offer, after its own underwriting and valuation.

Account and privacy
How much does it cost?
There is a Free plan. Paid plans are Starter at £49, Investor at £99 and Pro at £199 a month, with two months free on annual billing. Billing opens with the beta.
Is Yieldhouse financial advice?
No. Yieldhouse provides information to help you assess property deals. It is not financial, tax, legal or investment advice. Take professional advice before you buy.
What do you do with my data?
We use it to run the service. We never sell it, and we don't share your deals with agents or lenders unless you ask us to. You can export or delete your account at any time.
