How it works, honestly.

The data is out there. Rateable values from the VOA. Demographics from ONS. Crime from police.uk. Sales from the Land Registry. Flood zones from gov.uk. All free, all public, all a few hours' work to read for one address.

RetailSense reads it in ninety seconds and writes you a report. That's the whole trick. You're not getting less than the expensive full-suite high sell from the big guys — you're getting the ninety seconds of clever between the data and the decision.

And the footfall?

Real footfall counters cost thousands a year. So we do something different — read Google's live “popular times” for every business around your address and stitch it together into a picture of when your street is busy. Not the same as a proper counter. A lot closer than a guess. And it costs you £2.99.

Every source in one place

Nothing hidden. Nothing proprietary. Every number in your report comes from one of these:

What you're paying for

Ninety seconds of assembly. A scoring model that reads the data the same way every time. A report you can hand to a client, a landlord or a bank, or just read yourself before you sign a lease. That's it.
