Hibba Limited's Quick Scorer and AI Scoring tools replace spreadsheets, gut instinct and hours of manual research with institutional-grade property deal analysis. With Hibba's platform, investors receive objective, data-driven assessments in seconds, not days, enabling faster and more confident investment decisions across every property class.
Every case study below demonstrates how Hibba Limited's AI-powered scoring technology replaces outdated manual processes with fast, objective and accurate deal assessment. From auction lot screening to off-market evaluation, Hibba's platform gives investors the edge they need in competitive property markets.
A seasoned London-based portfolio investor was struggling to keep pace with the volume of properties appearing at auction. With catalogues often exceeding 50 lots per sale, the investor's previous approach involved manually researching each property using a combination of Rightmove comparables, Land Registry data, local authority planning portals and bespoke spreadsheets. This process typically consumed an entire working week per auction catalogue, and even then, the analysis was inconsistent and prone to human error.
After adopting Hibba Limited's Quick Scorer, the investor was able to input key deal parameters for each lot and receive an instant viability score powered by Hibba's proprietary AI engine. Hibba's platform assessed each property across multiple dimensions including yield potential, capital growth outlook, refurbishment complexity, tenant demand and location risk. The Quick Scorer's traffic-light system provided an immediate visual indication of which lots warranted deeper investigation and which could be safely discarded.
Within the first auction cycle, the investor screened all 50 lots in under 55 minutes using Hibba's tools. The platform identified 8 lots as strong investment candidates, 12 as marginal and 30 as unsuitable. The investor proceeded to conduct detailed due diligence on the 8 flagged opportunities and ultimately acquired 3 properties, each of which has since outperformed initial yield projections. Hibba's Quick Scorer did not just save time; it fundamentally changed how this investor approaches auction strategy.
The investor has since adopted Hibba's platform as the standard first step in every acquisition workflow. By letting Hibba's AI handle the initial screening, the investor's team now focuses exclusively on high-quality opportunities, eliminating wasted effort on deals that would never have met their criteria. The organisation estimates that Hibba Limited's tools have saved over 200 hours of analyst time in the first six months alone.
A Manchester-based property fund specialising in Houses in Multiple Occupation was finding that investment decisions were too often influenced by the enthusiasm of individual deal sourcers rather than objective data. Properties were being acquired based on projected yields that frequently failed to materialise, and the fund's partners recognised that emotional decision-making was eroding returns across the portfolio.
The fund adopted Hibba Limited's AI Scoring system, which evaluates every potential HMO acquisition against Hibba's proprietary 10-factor Index. This Deal Index assesses properties across dimensions including room-to-rent ratio, local HMO licensing requirements, tenant demand density, comparable rental evidence, Article 4 exposure, conversion complexity, planning risk, neighbourhood trajectory, void rate history and management overhead. Each factor is weighted according to the fund's specific investment strategy, which Hibba's platform allows users to customise.
Within the first quarter of using Hibba's AI Scoring, the fund evaluated 34 potential HMO acquisitions. Hibba's platform scored each property objectively, removing the subjective bias that had previously influenced decisions. The Deal Index flagged 6 properties as strong candidates, 11 as acceptable with caveats, and 17 as below threshold. Critically, 4 of the 17 rejected properties were deals that individual sourcers had been championing enthusiastically. Post-analysis confirmed that those 4 properties would have underperformed significantly.
The fund credits Hibba Limited's AI Scoring with transforming their acquisition discipline. Every deal now goes through Hibba's platform before any offer is made, and the Deal Index score is a mandatory component of every investment committee paper. Portfolio performance has improved measurably since adoption, with average yields increasing by 2.1 percentage points across new acquisitions made using Hibba's tools.
A first-time property investor based in Bristol had shortlisted 12 buy-to-let properties across the Midlands and was paralysed by indecision. Each property appeared attractive in isolation, but comparing them meaningfully was proving impossible using spreadsheets. The investor had no institutional background and lacked the frameworks needed to assess deals consistently.
Hibba Limited's Deal Quality Engine provided exactly the structure this investor needed. Hibba's platform allowed the investor to input all 12 properties and compare them simultaneously across 6 weighted dimensions: gross yield, net yield after costs, capital appreciation potential, tenant demand strength, refurbishment requirement and location growth trajectory. Hibba's AI assigned scores to each dimension based on real market data, and the platform generated a clear ranking of all 12 opportunities.
The results were illuminating. Hibba's Deal Quality Engine revealed that the investor's preferred property, a two-bedroom flat in Nottingham, actually ranked 9th out of 12 when assessed objectively. The top-ranked property according to Hibba's scoring was a three-bedroom terrace in Stoke-on-Trent that the investor had nearly overlooked. Hibba's platform highlighted superior yield metrics, stronger tenant demand in the local postcode and significantly lower refurbishment costs compared to the Nottingham flat.
The investor purchased the Stoke-on-Trent property based on Hibba's recommendation and achieved first-year returns that exceeded the platform's projections by 3%. The investor now uses Hibba's Deal Quality Engine for every potential acquisition and has recommended Hibba Limited's platform to three other first-time investors in their network.
A forward-thinking estate agency in Leeds with a growing investor client base recognised that the speed of deal flow was outpacing their ability to conduct meaningful due diligence on off-market opportunities. Investor clients expected pre-qualified deals with supporting data, but the agency's team was spending an average of 4 hours per property on manual analysis, creating a bottleneck that limited the number of deals they could process each week.
The agency partnered with Hibba Limited to integrate Hibba's scoring API directly into their internal CRM system. When a new off-market opportunity was logged, Hibba's API automatically assessed the property against the agency's investor criteria and returned a comprehensive viability score within seconds. Hibba's platform provided detailed breakdowns including projected yields, comparable transaction data, area demographics and risk factors, all formatted in branded reports that the agency could share directly with their investor clients.
The integration transformed the agency's investor services proposition. Due diligence time per property dropped from 4 hours to approximately 70 minutes, representing a 70% reduction. The agency was now able to process three times as many off-market deals per week, and the quality of their investor communications improved dramatically thanks to Hibba's data-rich reports. Investor clients began referring colleagues specifically because of the analytical rigour that Hibba's tools brought to the agency's service offering.
Within six months, the agency attributed 14 additional investor transactions directly to the enhanced deal flow enabled by Hibba Limited's scoring API. The partnership with Hibba has become a central pillar of the agency's investor services strategy, and they have since expanded their use of Hibba's platform to include portfolio tracking and exit modelling for retained clients.
An experienced buy-to-let landlord with 8 residential properties across the West Midlands was considering diversifying into commercial property but lacked the specialist knowledge to evaluate commercial deals with the same confidence. The yield calculations, lease structures and valuation methodologies for commercial property differ significantly from residential, and the landlord was concerned about making costly mistakes in an unfamiliar market.
Hibba Limited's platform provided the analytical framework the landlord needed to evaluate commercial opportunities alongside their existing residential portfolio. Hibba's AI-powered market comparison tool allowed the landlord to input potential commercial acquisitions and receive detailed side-by-side comparisons with their residential holdings. Hibba's platform calculated and compared metrics including net initial yield, equivalent yield, reversionary yield, void risk, lease covenant strength and capital value per square foot.
The analysis powered by Hibba's tools revealed that two specific commercial units, a small retail parade in Wolverhampton and a light industrial unit in Tamworth, offered significantly stronger risk-adjusted returns than the landlord's weakest-performing residential assets. Hibba's platform projected that the commercial acquisitions would deliver a blended portfolio yield improvement of 1.4 percentage points while reducing concentration risk through asset class diversification.
The landlord proceeded with both acquisitions based on Hibba's analysis and simultaneously disposed of two underperforming residential properties that Hibba's platform had identified as candidates for exit. The portfolio restructuring, guided entirely by Hibba Limited's data, has resulted in higher overall returns, lower management overhead and a more resilient income stream. The landlord continues to use Hibba's platform to monitor performance and identify further optimisation opportunities.
