A refurbishment rarely announces itself — but the public record announces it for them. Signal watches three things most lead services never touch: planning applications at occupied buildings, energy-rating pressure on the spaces companies sit in, and the building-level chain reaction where one landlord’s consent displaces every tenant on the stack. Each is a refurbishment or relocation project in formation.
When a whole-building planning consent lands at an occupied address — the 55 Baker Street class of application — every occupier on the stack has a decision coming: refit in place around the works, or move. Signal tracks buildings, not just companies, so one application surfaces every affected tenant as a lead.
Offices rated below EPC B face the tightening MEES trajectory (C proposed for 2027, B for 2030). A poor rating on an occupied floor is not trivia — it is regulatory pressure toward works, renegotiation or relocation, and it sits in a public register.
A landlord’s Cat A strip-out and an occupier’s Cat B refit are different projects for different buyers. Signal distinguishes them — displacement-grade works at the building level versus occupier-side signals like lease renewals paired with refit-scale filings.
