Office change intelligence · London

Reach companies before they move, refit or refurbish their office.

Signal is office-change intelligence for London. It spots the early signs that a company is about to move, refit or refurbish its office — lease events, planning, company filings and growth — and gives your sales team a scored, timed shortlist of prospects worth calling this week.

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 21,000 names is just noise without the trigger that says this one is in market now.

What Signal is

A lead engine for office change.

Signal tells you which London companies are most likely to move, refit or refurbish their office soon — with the reason, the timing, and who to call. No cold lists. 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

Spot

We track the public records that come before an office move or refurbishment — lease events, planning applications, company filings and growth — across London.

02

Score

Each company is ranked by how strong, recent and combined its signals are. A lease ending, a planning application or a fast-growing team — each points to a move or a refit coming.

03

Act

Your team gets a short list — a handful of companies, ranked, with why and when to call. 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.

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. We don't scrape. 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 21,000+ companies. Other cities and national coverage are available on the Bespoke 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.
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. The Standard plan is £2,000 per month plus £2,500 setup (minimum three months). Bespoke coverage beyond London starts at £2,500 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 a pilot. Scale when it works.

Try it on your own patch for 30 days. If the leads are good, the pilot fee comes off your setup.
