Signal is the occupier layer for London offices. It reads the public property and company registers — leases, planning, business rates, filings, EPCs — resolves them to real buildings and real companies, and surfaces who’s likely to move or refurbish before it becomes a tender. A scored, timed, evidence-cited shortlist for your patch, refreshed weekly, across all of London including the City and Westminster.
Figures update weekly · computed 8 August 2026
An office move is the biggest buying moment in your market — and most firms only hear about it once everyone else has too.
The brief lands when it's already a six-way pitch, and you're competing on price instead of relationship.
Right company, wrong week. There's no way to time the call to the moment they're actually deciding.
A database of 155,100 names is just noise without the trigger that says this one is in market now.
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.
We track the public records that come before an office move or refurbishment — lease events, planning applications, company filings and growth — across London.
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.
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.
Click through — the shortlist, the filters, a company, and how it lands in your CRM.

Signal is set up for you — no integrations to wrangle, no data to clean.
A short questionnaire defines your sectors, areas, the signals that matter and your ideal client.
Your own workspace, scoring tuned to you, your filters. A named account owner sets it up with you.
Your first scored shortlist lands — ready for the team to call, and pushed into your CRM.
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.

The signals and terms behind every move — and why each one matters for timing the call.
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.
A contractual point at which a tenant can exit the lease early. As it nears, companies decide whether to stay, refit or move.
A scheduled reassessment of rent, often upward — a common trigger for a company to reconsider its space.
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 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.
A single contractor handling both the design and construction of an office fit-out — the dominant delivery model for commercial workplaces.
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.
An agent acting for the company taking space (the occupier), rather than the landlord — the people who find and secure the new office.
A company actively evaluating a move, refit or refurbishment. Signal's job is to surface in-market companies before they go to tender.
Try it on your own patch for 30 days. If the leads are good, the pilot fee comes off your setup.
Every plan includes a named account owner who sets your ICP and keeps Signal tuned to your market as it changes. Extra seats available on any plan.
Your numbers, not ours — drag the sliders. Signal only has to tip a project or two your way.
