Connects to the wider Hibba toolkit:
What it measures: How easily you can sell or let in this location. Buyer pool depth, average days on market, and demand trends.
Why it matters: A deal with thin liquidity traps your capital. Strong liquidity means faster exits, competitive offers, and lower holding risk.
What it measures: Whether the layout can be reconfigured to add measurable value. Room additions, open-plan conversions, loft potential.
Why it matters: Layout changes are where forced equity lives. A property with no layout upside is already at market ceiling.
What it measures: Planning-based value uplift potential. Permitted development rights, local precedent, conservation restrictions.
Why it matters: Planning gain can transform economics. A rear extension or loft conversion with local precedent can add 20–40% to GDV.
What it measures: How straightforward the renovation scope is. Structural complexity, specialist trades required, timeline risk.
Why it matters: Complex refurbs blow budgets and timelines. A simple cosmetic-plus refurb is predictable; structural work introduces significant risk.
What it measures: Whether there is enough profit buffer to absorb cost overruns, delays, and market fluctuations.
Why it matters: Thin margins kill deals. A 10% cost overrun on a tight deal wipes out profit entirely. Strong headroom means you can survive surprises.
What it measures: How confident you are in the exit strategy. Comparable evidence, buyer profile clarity, market activity.
Why it matters: Profit on paper is not profit until you exit. Weak resale confidence means extended hold times, price reductions, and eroded returns.
Add a property to your pipeline with address, asking price, property type, and deal thesis. Then score each of the 6 dimensions from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). The app provides detailed scoring guidance for each level so you know exactly what constitutes a 3 versus a 5.
Deal Quality Engine calculates your total score out of 30, applies your custom dimension weighting, and delivers a clear verdict: Proceed (22–30), Review (15–21), or Kill (below 15). Risk flags automatically highlight any dimension scoring critically low.

"I get sent 10–15 deals a week by sourcing agents. Deal Quality Engine lets me score them all in under an hour and immediately kill the bottom half. I only do full due diligence on Proceed deals now. My conversion rate has doubled."
James W., Full-Time Flipper (8+ deals p.a.)
"We use DQE as the first gate in our acquisition process. Every deal gets scored before it reaches the investment committee. It has eliminated emotional decision-making and reduced our dead-deal costs by 40%."
Sarah M., Acquisitions Director (30+ BTL portfolio)
"Before I present a deal to a client, I run it through the Deal Quality Engine. If it doesn't score at least 20, I don't waste their time. The radar chart profile is brilliant for showing clients exactly where a deal's strengths and risks are."
Tom P., Property Sourcing Agent
"When a partner brings me a deal, I score it independently on DQE and then compare our assessments. It highlights where we disagree on risk and forces honest conversations before we commit capital."
Rachel D., JV Investor
Quick Scorer is designed for rapid, on-site 60-second assessment at viewings and auctions. Deal Quality Engine is for back-at-desk pipeline management: it uses different dimensions focused on deal economics (margin, planning, refurb complexity) rather than physical property attributes. Use Quick Scorer to filter on-site, then run shortlisted properties through DQE for investment-grade triage.
Proceed (22–30): Strong deal across most dimensions. Move to full due diligence and financial modelling with confidence.
Review (15–21): Decent deal with one or more weak areas. Investigate the weak dimensions before committing further time or money.
Kill (below 15): Too many fundamental weaknesses. The deal is unlikely to deliver acceptable returns unless you have specific expertise to address the gaps.
Yes (Pro tier). Each dimension can be weighted from 0.5x to 2.0x its default value. This lets you tailor scoring to your investment strategy. A flipper might weight Margin Headroom and Refurb Simplicity higher, while a BTL investor might prioritise Area Liquidity and Resale Confidence.
