Receivers appointed
A lender has taken control of a property to get its money back. Receivers have to sell, and they often choose auction.
You’ll speak to The receiver
Know who has to sell, before your competitors do.
TitleSignal finds distressed property leads in your area: receiverships, companies going under, court petitions and planned closures. Each lead tells you why it has to sell, who will decide, and what it’s worth.

Hear about it weeks before your competitors.
A property doesn’t arrive at auction out of nowhere. There are months of warning signs first, and each one leaves a public record. TitleSignal reads those records every week, so you can make the first call.
- 1 Trouble or change starts
Loans run past their end date, accounts go unfiled, an owner dies, asking prices get cut.
- 2 Someone takes control
Receivers or administrators are appointed, a court petition is filed, or probate is granted.
- 3 Public records catch up
Companies House can take two to four weeks to show what’s happened.
- 4 The property is marketed
It’s listed with an agent or entered into someone else’s auction.
With TitleSignal You’re told at step 2, and often warned at step 1
Without it Most auction houses find out at step 4, when it’s too late
In court cases we checked in October 2026, the court petition was public 19 to 26 days before Companies House showed any change.
Nine kinds of lead, from must-sell to might-sell.
Every lead has a reason to sell and a named person to speak to. We group them by how close the sale is. The ones marked Coming aren’t in the app yet.
Has to sell
Someone is now in control and must sell.Companies going under
Administrators and liquidators selling the property of a company that has failed.
You’ll speak to The insolvency practitioner
Court petitions
A creditor has asked the court to close a company that owns property. You’ll know weeks before Companies House shows it.
You’ll speak to The lender, then the liquidator
Under pressure
The owner is running out of time or options.Loans past their end date
Short-term property loans that have run past their term. The lender wants its money back, and a sale is often the way out.
You’ll speak to The lender
Stuck on the market
Listed for months, the price cut again and again, sales falling through, or taken off the market unsold.
You’ll speak to The estate agent
Hard to mortgage
Short leases, “cash buyers only”, or in need of work. The kind of property that sells best at auction.
You’ll speak to The estate agent
Changing hands
A death, a retirement or a failed tenant means a sale may follow.Estates and probate
A property owner has died, or the owner of a property company. We link the estate to every property it controls, including those held through companies.
You’ll speak to The solicitor handling the estate
Planned closures
A property company that can pay its debts is being wound up, often when the owners retire. Its properties are sold or handed to the owners.
You’ll speak to The liquidator
Tenant company failed
A business has gone under, and its premises belong to a sister company. With the rent gone, the building often ends up for sale.
You’ll speak to The administrator, or the landlord’s lender
Not just an address.
The full story behind every lead.
Each lead answers the four questions you’d ask before picking up the phone: why it has to sell, who decides, what it’s worth and what to say. Pick an example.
