Property sales are broken at the point of qualification
41% of agreed sales in the UK fall through before completion. That's £1.5bn lost annually — not because buyers disappear, but because no one knew which ones were real in the first place. Agents lose £4,123 per collapsed sale. Developers lose £8,333 per unit for every month delayed. The industry treats every enquiry the same and hopes for the best.
We started Naybourhood because we believed there was a better way: use AI to score every buyer on their actual likelihood to complete — before you invest time, marketing spend, or legal fees. Create leads, enrich them, score them, act on them. One pipeline, one intelligence layer, zero guesswork.
