Before You Spend Hours Investigating a Commercial Property, Find Out If It's Even Worth Investigating At All.
A ready-to-use AI tool that gives you a fast, honest read on any commercial or mixed-use deal — a rough valuation, the real risks, and a straight verdict, in about five minutes.
Are you currently overwhelmed because your inbox has 1,385 search alerts for you to comb through, looking for that one perfect property?
Is your current property selection process: open a search alert, click on a property that looks remotely interesting, scroll through the info on Rightmove, decide it's probably overpriced and close it down — or worse, try to do a full deal analysis that takes you 10-15 minutes a day over 2 weeks because you're phoning agents for details and comparable evidence, only to find out it doesn't stack up. Meanwhile the search alerts are backing up and you're too drained to keep searching through them, because inevitably there won't be anything that "works."
Are you loath to pay anyone else for support because you could definitely do it yourself? Everyone else in your networking group is doing it and finding "discounted properties you could recycle your money with" — so why can't you?
Do you want to:
- Know in seconds whether a search alert is even worth a second look
- Get a straight yes/no/maybe on a deal in minutes — not 10-15 minutes a day for two weeks phoning agents
- Find out whether a deal stacks up before you spend any real time on it, not after
- Clear your inbox with confidence, instead of watching alerts back up
- Get the same rigour a professional surveyor uses, without needing to become one yourself
- Actually find the discounted deals worth recycling your money into — not just talk about it in your networking group
Sound familiar?
These are real, unprompted answers from investors who told us their biggest problem before ever speaking to us. It's not sourcing deals, and it's not raising finance — it's not knowing how to judge one once they've found it. That's exactly what this tool is built to fix.
What You'll Know in Around 5 Minutes
A gross yield check — is the price-to-rent relationship strong, average, or weak, in plain English.
A rough valuation, two ways — a quick stress-test ceiling, and a proper term-and-reversion estimate using the same mechanics behind professional commercial valuations.
An income security check — how long is the rent actually secured for, and what could shorten that.
A red-flag scan — vacant units, unconfirmed break clauses, missing EPCs, and anything else worth pausing on.
A straight verdict — worth digging into further, proceed with caution, or pass.
A full checklist — exactly what to ask the agent, and what to go and research yourself.

Offers in excess of £400,000 · Single-let industrial unit
- Right location
- Good price
- Ok rental income at £30k and net initial yield 7.2%
- Wow — opportunity to increase rent to £37k and 8.88% yield! My goal was 8%.
- Seems straightforward with one tenant
| Gross yieldHow the rent compares to the price | 7.5% on passing rent (9.25% on ERV) |
| Rough valuation indicationBased on your goals you entered | £331,500 |
- Asking price sits above the realistic, risk-adjusted valuation
- 100% of income rests on one sub-prime covenant
- Estimated market rent isn’t proven, and the tenant may not be able to afford any increase
You need to research market rent, the tenant’s covenant strength, and the likelihood of this building re-letting if the tenant disappeared, before deciding whether to offer.
Get rid of search alerts that aren't worth your time

Built by someone who's actually done this
Natasha Collins is a RICS-regulated surveyor and founder of NC Real Estate, host of the Honest Property Investment podcast, and author of a book on commercial property investing. She's analysed commercial deals professionally for years — tenancy schedules, lease risk, term-and-reversion valuations, all of it.
This is exactly the check her own team runs on every deal before it goes anywhere near NC Real Estate's full analysis pipeline. If a deal doesn't survive this first pass internally, it doesn't get any further time from them either. Built around the same first-pass thinking NCRE uses to decide whether a deal deserves deeper professional analysis.
A note on what this isn't
Questions
- Do I need ChatGPT Plus or a Claude subscription?
- No. It works with the free version of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI chat tool you already have open.
- Is this the same as NC Real Estate's full deal analysis service?
- No — this is deliberately a fast, rough filter. It won't source comparable evidence or handle multiple tenants the way a proper appraisal does. It exists to help you rule things out quickly, not replace a real valuation.
- What do I actually receive?
- A short document with the ready-to-use prompt and clear instructions — copy it into your AI tool of choice, paste in your property details, and it does the rest.
- Who's behind this?
- Natasha Collins, RICS-regulated and founder of NC Real Estate — built from the same valuation logic used in her own client deal analysis work and her book on commercial property investing.
- What's your refund policy?
- All sales are final. If you have questions, please email us at hello@ncrealestate.co.uk before you purchase.
