Motivation Indicators (£/m2)

How to use the £/m² to find Motivated Sellers faster

Updated over a month ago

Motivation Indicators are key criteria used by investors to identify great deals. In Property Filter, our goal is to highlight these indicators or ‘pain points’ of vendors - often signs of motivated sellers. This helps investors make informed decisions.

Property Filter's aims to streamline investors’ efforts by strategically identifying the motivated sellers, reducing the need to contact hundreds of prospects. We are here to help you achieve more with less effort.

£/m2

This is the price of a property per square metre, as seen in the example below. The sale price of Property A is higher, however in terms of square meterage, the price of Property A lower compared to Property B.

Property Filter displays the price per square metre of properties, helping you identify which properties offer more space for less money.

Calculation of the £/m2

£/m = average price/ m2

Property A Property B

The above example shows that although the average price of Property A is higher, when the formula has been applied, it indicates that the price per square meter of Property A is lower than Property B.

Property A is the better purchase option, offering more square metres for less money.
