Get upstream of the market.
Every morning Upstream checks every home in your patch and shows you the owners most likely to sell, before they list. Then it helps you win the deal and sell it to your investors.

Find more deals
Your next deal is already in the data. Upstream finds it first.
- Every home scored on how likely the owner is to sell: how long they've owned it, their equity, landlord purchases and energy ratings.
- New listings spotted early from the energy certificate register, flagged when it's a landlord selling or a home back on the market.
- Values on every home, with nearby sales, price per square metre and upgrade costs.
- Letters that fill themselves in, each with its own reply code, so every response lands on the right lead.

- A portal for each investor showing the deals that match what they buy, without the address.
- One-click reservations, so you know who's serious before you send the full pack.

Questions sourcers ask
Where does the data come from?
HM Land Registry sales since 1995 and its house price index, the government energy certificate register and the ONS postcode directory. It's refreshed every morning. We don't scrape the property portals.
Which areas do you cover?
Every postcode in England and Wales, from Cornwall to Northumberland and across Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland use different property registers, so they aren't covered yet. Check your postcode to see your area's figures.
Is it legal to write to these owners?
Yes, if you follow the rules: include an easy opt-out and honour it, and don't make cold marketing calls to numbers on the Telephone Preference Service. Upstream applies your opt-out list everywhere and puts your redress and anti-money-laundering numbers on every letter.
Do I need a card for the trial?
No. You get 14 days free. If you want to carry on, add a card and you're charged monthly from the end of the trial. Cancel any time.
I already use other property data tools. Why add this?
Most tools show you market data. Upstream is built around the sourcing job: it tells you which owners to contact, then runs the letters, replies, offers and investor side in one place.
