Pre-set site-finding strategies

To succeed in property finding a site is only half the battle; you need to be sure it stacks up. Our pre-defined site-finding strategies are pre-filtered and checked for planning and financial viability, so you can efficiently find sites that meet your requirements, without the hassle.

Our pre-set strategies are designed to save you valuable time searching for specific opportunities within different use classes: grouped into up to four bundles (tier dependant).

Commercial conversions: to find opportunities to convert commercial to residential.
Residential land and airspace: for finding undeveloped residential sites and locations with potential for airspace development
HMOs: for finding suitable opportunities in houses in multiple occupation.
Other strategies: Go here to find expiring leases and unbroken blocks of flats.

Commercial conversions

This pre-set contains residential to commercial developments that fall under Class ZA, Class G and Class MA. It shows opportunities not restricted by planning or development limitations – zoom in for a full breakdown, including the predicted profit.

Residential land and airspace

This strategy identifies existing residential locations with airspace and houses on underdeveloped plots that are prime for further development. These are pre-checked for planning and financial viability and results are helpfully colour-coded by their potential to upgrade.

Having the capability through the software for live properties to update every 24 hours, it allows us to be on the front foot and get opportunities straight out to our franchise owners, it's really added value in that respect.

Nimbus has allowed me to truly scale my property business - going from sourcing 3 sites a month using traditional methods to 600. And one of those I secured through Nimbus was 50% profit on GDV.

Nimbus is ultimately the one-stop shop for us. Being able to overlay our Land Registry titles over Google satellite imagery really helps us to bring it all into one place.
