Instant risk scan
AI analyses listing data, title information, flood risk, lease length, planning history, and more — surfacing potential dealbreakers you'd otherwise miss until weeks into the legal process.
AI-powered property intelligence
Know what you’re buying before you spend a penny
Tetsoma scans listed property data and flags risks in plain English — so you can spot dealbreakers before you book a viewing, not after you’ve instructed a conveyancer.
- Instant risk scan
- Plain-English explanations
- Targeted conveyancer questions
The Problem
Most buyers discover problems with a property after they’ve already committed
Short leases, restrictive covenants, flood risk, boundary disputes, planning issues — these are the things that collapse transactions weeks into the legal process. The information is often available in listing data and public records, but most buyers don’t know where to look or how to interpret what they find. They commit emotionally and financially, then discover the problem. Tetsoma flips that.

AI Property Triage
A preflight check for every property you consider
Our AI scans listed property data and surfaces what matters — risks, red flags, and key questions — translated into language anyone can understand.
Plain-English flags
No legal jargon. Every issue is explained in language anyone can understand, with context on what it means for your purchase, your mortgage, and your budget.
Property comparison
Shortlisted multiple properties? See a side-by-side risk comparison so you can weigh up your options with full visibility — not gut instinct.
Conveyancer questions
For properties you want to pursue, Tetsoma generates targeted questions to ask your conveyancer — so you arrive informed, with a focus, not starting from zero.
Before you commit
Run a triage before you book a viewing, before you make an offer, before you pay for a survey. Filter out the wrong properties early and save weeks of wasted effort.
Not legal advice
Tetsoma translates and triages — it doesn't replace your conveyancer. Think of it as an informed first pass that helps you decide where to invest your time and money.
See it in action
You’re considering a two-bed flat in South London listed at £375,000. The listing looks great. The photos are lovely. You’re ready to book a viewing. But Tetsoma has scanned the available data and found three things you should know about first.
This is the kind of intelligence that typically only surfaces weeks into the conveyancing process — after you’ve already paid for searches and committed emotionally. Tetsoma gives it to you before you’ve spent a penny.
Tetsoma AI Triage — 3 flags found
Short lease — 71 years remaining
Most mortgage lenders won't lend on leases below 80 years. You'd likely need to negotiate a lease extension before purchase, typically costing £15,000–30,000. Factor this into your budget or reconsider.
Service charge escalation clause
The lease contains a fixed-increase clause that raises the service charge by 10% every 3 years. Current charge is £2,400/year — projected to reach £3,800 within a decade. Ask for the last 3 years' service charge accounts.
Flood risk — low
No significant flood risk from rivers, sea, or surface water. The property is in Flood Zone 1. No action needed, but your conveyancer may still recommend an environmental search.
How It Works
From listing to decision in four steps
No sign-up fee. No commitment. Just better information before you commit.

Who It’s For
Built for buyers who don’t want surprises
First-time buyer, home mover, investor, or buying a second property — Tetsoma gives every buyer visibility before they commit.
First-time buyers
You don't know what you don't know — and that's exactly the problem.
- Understand what a short lease, restrictive covenant, or flood risk actually means for you
- Filter out problem properties before you fall in love with them
- Arrive at your conveyancer with targeted questions, not blank confusion
- Stop relying on estate agents to tell you about risks they have no incentive to mention
Home movers
You've done this before — but that doesn't make it less stressful.
- Spot problems before you're in a chain and it's too late to walk away cleanly
- Compare risk across shortlisted properties before you get emotionally invested
- Avoid the survey surprise that kills the deal and leaves you out of pocket
- Move with confidence, not hope — know exactly what you're stepping into
Buy-to-let investors
You evaluate multiple deals at once. Speed and accuracy matter.
- Preflight every deal in your pipeline before committing time or legal fees
- Spot lease issues, planning risks, and title problems at scale — not one-by-one
- Compare risk profiles across shortlisted properties side by side
- Protect your margins by catching costly surprises before exchange, not after
Second home & holiday let buyers
Buying remotely means you can't just drive past and check. The data can.
- Flag planning restrictions — Article 4 directions, holiday let licensing, short-term rental rules
- Identify flood risk, coastal erosion risk, and other location-specific hazards
- Spot lease or covenant issues before you travel to view
- Make confident remote decisions without relying on the vendor's word
Why Now
The industry is moving to 28 days. Buyers need to keep up.
Project 28 is a UK government and industry charter pushing the average property transaction from three months down to 28 days. More upfront information will be available earlier than ever before. But information is only useful if buyers can actually understand it. Tetsoma closes that gap.
More upfront data at listing stage
AI triage makes that data usable for buyers
Fewer fall-throughs from informed decisions
Faster transactions for everyone in the chain
