Property research

Research view — for market sizing. Not a lead source.

Counts only. No company is named, no person is named, there is no export and there is no route from here to outreach. The question this answers is whether a sector is worth building a product for — if the answer is yes, build a cohort in the normal way, where suppression, export logging and retention all apply.

Every figure below is drawn from Companies House data already held, and covers only companies that have been loaded into a cohort at some point — not the register as a whole. Companies on the suppression register are excluded from the counts entirely.

Sector definition

Membership is by SIC code, from . That is a crude proxy and has to be read as one: plenty of companies that own property carry a trading SIC code, and plenty carrying 68209 own nothing at all. These counts size a cohort you could build, not the property-owning population.

Companies per region

By postcode area of the registered office — which for small companies is often their accountant's address rather than anything they own.

Size distribution

Latest filed net assets. Not filed is its own band and is never read as nil — a company filing filleted accounts has no figure to report, which is normal and says nothing about size.

Age profile of controllers

Serving directors and PSCs, counted by approximate age — Companies House publishes the month and year of birth only. A distribution, deliberately: how many controllers are over 65 is a market-sizing fact, and which of them they are is the subscription product.

Charge concentration

Outstanding charges per company. A charge with no satisfaction date is still registered; that is not the same as the facility still being drawn.

Charge concentration by lender

Who holds security over this sector. Lender names come from the charges register as filed, so the same lender appearing under two spellings counts twice, and a lender whose name contains a comma may be split in two. Indicative, like everything else read off free text. Lenders are companies, not individuals.
