Occupier intelligence · London

Signal watches the occupier. Everyone else watches the project or the building.

Project databases see a scheme once it has a planning reference. Property databases see a building once there’s a deal. Signal reads the occupier’s own record — the lease on its floor, its business rates, its filings, its hiring — across every London office occupier, and hands you twenty companies each Monday with the evidence, the timing and the person to call. Before the design team is appointed. Before it’s a tender.

The problem

By the time it's a tender, you've already lost.

An office move is the biggest buying moment in your market — and most firms only hear about it once everyone else has too.

You find out too late

The brief lands when it's already a six-way pitch, and you're competing on price instead of relationship.

Referrals are random

Right company, wrong week. There's no way to time the call to the moment they're actually deciding.

Lists tell you who, not when

A database of 165,600 names is coverage, not a call list. Without the trigger that says this one is in market now, it’s noise.

What Signal is

A Monday call sheet, built from the occupier’s own record.

Signal watches 165,600+ London occupiers so you only have to call twenty. Each Monday: twenty companies showing evidence of an office move, fit-out or refurbishment — ranked, with the reason, the timing window, and a decision-maker to ring. No database to trawl. No waiting for the tender.

It's not just relocations. Signal also catches the bigger pool most tools miss — companies refurbishing or reconfiguring the office they're staying in.

How it works

Three steps. Plain and simple.

01

Watch the occupier

Every London office occupier, all the time — the lease registered on its floor, the business rates that put it there, its Companies House filings, its planning applications, its hiring. Fifteen public sources, read continuously, resolved to the right company and the right building.

02

Score the evidence

Each company is scored 0–100 on how strong, recent and corroborated its evidence is. Every claim behind a score carries its source and its date — a lease clock, a rates bill, a filing — so the score is never a black box. Re-run on every new signal and in full every Sunday.

03

Call twenty on Monday

Twenty companies land on Monday — ranked, why now in a line, timing, and the person to call. Pursue pushes it to your CRM with the evidence; not-for-us and not-moving take it off the sheet for good. You arrive while they’re still deciding, not after.

How Signal compares

It's not about who a company is. It's when.

Every other tool catches the deal at the wrong moment — too broad, too raw, or too late. Signal sits in the gap: early, scored, and specific to office change.

Built on public record
HM Land Registry· Companies House· Local-authority planning· Hiring & growth signals· News
Our office-move signals come from public record — no scraping. Decision-maker contact details are sourced from compliant B2B data providers under legitimate interest.
FAQ

The questions buyers ask.

How do you find companies before they move office?+
Signal tracks the public records that precede an office move or refurbishment — HM Land Registry lease data, Companies House filings and local-authority planning applications, plus hiring and growth signals — then scores each company by how strong and recent its signals are, so you reach them before the tender.
Where does the data come from? Is it GDPR-compliant?+
The office-move signals come from public record — HM Land Registry lease data, Companies House filings and local-authority planning, plus hiring, growth and news. Where we crawl the open web, our identified SignalBot reads only public company pages, honours robots.txt and opt-outs, and collects company facts — never personal data. Decision-maker contact details are sourced from compliant B2B data providers under a legitimate-interest basis, with opt-outs honoured.
How is Signal different from a contact database like Cognism?+
Contact databases tell you who a company is — for everyone, all the time. Signal tells you when a specific London company is about to change its office. The timing is the product, not the name.
Who is Signal for?+
Any firm that wins work when a company changes its office: workplace designers and consultancies, interior architects, commercial property agents and occupier reps, furniture dealers, AV and IT integrators, office relocation firms, facilities management providers, project managers and cost consultants, construction firms, workspace and flexible-office operators, and office fit-out contractors.
Is it really only London?+
Today, yes — Signal is built and tuned for London, where it tracks 165,600+ companies. Other cities and national coverage are available on the Platform plan.
How accurate is the timing?+
We score on real, dated events — a lease ending, a planning application, headcount growth. Every lead shows its evidence and timing, so your team can judge it before they call. Nothing is a black box.
What if the leads aren't good?+
That's exactly what the 30-day pilot is for. You see real leads on your own patch before committing — and the pilot fee comes off your setup if you continue.
Does Signal take a percentage of project value?+
No — Signal is a flat monthly fee, never a percentage of project turnover. Some lead services take 1% of every project you win from their leads; Signal never will. You do the work; you keep the reward.
Can Signal predict refurbishments, not just moves?+
Yes — refurbishment is scored separately from relocation. Signal watches displacement-grade planning applications at occupied buildings, EPC/MEES pressure on rated floors, and renewal-plus-refit signal patterns. See how refurbishment prediction works.
How long does setup take?+
Days. A short questionnaire defines your patch, then we build it and deliver your first scored shortlist within two working days.
How much does Signal cost?+
A 30-day pilot is £1,000 one-off — four Monday call sheets on your patch. The Call Sheet plan is £2,500 per month plus £2,500 setup (minimum three months). The Platform plan starts at £4,000 per month plus £5,000 setup.
Glossary

The language of office change.

The signals and terms behind every move — and why each one matters for timing the call.

Lease event

A break clause, expiry or rent review approaching on a company's lease — the single strongest predictor that an office decision is coming, usually 6–18 months out.

Break clause

A contractual point at which a tenant can exit the lease early. As it nears, companies decide whether to stay, refit or move.

Rent review

A scheduled reassessment of rent, often upward — a common trigger for a company to reconsider its space.

Dilapidations

The cost of returning a leased office to its original condition on exit. A looming dilapidations liability often forces an early move-or-refurb decision.

Cat A vs Cat B fit-out

Cat A is the landlord's base finish (floors, ceilings, services); Cat B is the tenant's fit-out — layout, branding, meeting rooms. Most fit-out, furniture and AV work sits in Cat B.

Design & build (D&B)

A single contractor handling both the design and construction of an office fit-out — the dominant delivery model for commercial workplaces.

RIBA stages

The RIBA Plan of Work (Stages 0–7) maps a project from strategic definition to handover. Winning work early means being briefed around Stage 0–1.

Occupier / tenant rep

An agent acting for the company taking space (the occupier), rather than the landlord — the people who find and secure the new office.

In-market

A company actively evaluating a move, refit or refurbishment. Signal's job is to surface in-market companies before they go to tender.

Pricing

Start with four Monday sheets. Add the platform when your team needs it.
