About
A land surveyor with twenty years of ground truth in Devon, and an engine that reads the registers every week.
Why a surveyor built this
Property developers do not lack sites. They lack the time to find the sites that fit them. The tools give you twenty-eight million titles and a filter bar; the agents give you what is already for sale. What nobody gave a developer was the thing a good analyst produces after a day's work: this site, why now, what it could take, what could go wrong — with the sources.
Windfall Brief is that day's work, done by an engine for every registered parcel in a council area every week, and read by a surveyor who knows the ground. The surveyor has spent twenty years measuring land in Devon and knows Torbay street by street. The engine measures what a person cannot — plot geometry, slope from LiDAR, what changed since last Monday across sixty thousand parcels — and the surveyor knows which of its answers to distrust.
The verification offer
When a site deserves it, the surveyor walks it: access width and visibility, levels, the boundary on the ground against the register, the things a map cannot show. That can escalate to a measured survey or a written plot appraisal, quoted per site before any work. A newsletter can be copied; a professional opinion with a name on it cannot.
How we hold ourselves to it
- Every fact on a site page has a dataset, a date and a reference.
- Every number has a method; estimates say they are estimates.
- The method was replayed against three years of history before the first brief, and both results are published.
- From the second issue, every brief prints what happened to the sites before it.
- Company owners only; private individuals are never named or profiled; owners are never contacted.
Where we are
Torbay is the first territory and is opening now. Other Devon authorities follow by demand. The company and its registration details will appear in the footer of this site as soon as they exist.
