Best BRRR analysis tools in the UK: who models the refinance
BRRR lives or dies on two numbers most deal calculators never touch: the end value a lender will actually refinance against, and the money left in the deal once that refinance completes. Yield and cash flow are easy; nearly every tool computes them. The refinance step is the hard part, and of the UK tools compared here, most leave it to you and your spreadsheet.
Before the table, the bias: we make PropDetect, and BRRR is one of the six strategies its appraisal runs, so we have a horse in this race. Every fact about the other tools is lifted from their own public pages, checked on the dates under the table, and where a competitor is the better fit we say so.
| Tool | From (per month) | Free trial or tier | What its analysis covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lendlord | Free tier; Premium £12 | Free tier, no card | Deal and flip analysers alongside its core portfolio, tenant and finance management |
| PropertyData | £14 ex VAT | 14 days, no card | Market analytics first: local data, valuations, comparables, and a Deal Analyzer for buy-to-let assessments |
| PropAI | £40 | 5 days, 1 property | AI appraisal of a property you supply: refurb estimate, stress tests, and a rating across four strategies |
| DealFlow AI | Credit packs from £9 | One free analysis a day, no account | A fast buy, maybe or avoid verdict with yield and cash flow; a first-pass screen rather than a full appraisal |
| PropDetect | £7.99 | 3 free analyses, no card | Runs six strategies, BRRR among them: refurb costed from listing photos, end value from comparable sold prices, rent, and a strong, solid or avoid verdict, every figure editable |

What a BRRR model has to get right
Four inputs and one output. The inputs: what you pay all-in, what the refurb costs, what the property is worth once the work is done, and the loan-to-value your refinance lender will offer against that figure. The output is money left in, and it is the only number that separates a BRRR from an expensive buy-to-let. A tool that stops at gross yield has not modelled BRRR at all; it has modelled the first R and gone home.
The fragile input is the end value. A software estimate of post-works value is exactly that, an estimate, and the surveyor your lender sends does not read anyone's dashboard. Whatever tool you pick, ask where its end value comes from and whether you can see the evidence behind it.
The portfolio angle: Lendlord
For the life of a BRRR deal after completion, Lendlord makes the strongest case on this page: portfolio, tenant and finance management as the core, deal and flip analysers alongside, and a permanently free tier, so testing it costs nothing. Two caveats from its own pages: its help centre states it does not currently cover Scotland, and it partners with PropertyData for estimates. Whether its analysers model your refinance case the way you would run it is a ten-minute test on the free tier, which beats anything this page can tell you.
The research angle: PropertyData
PropertyData will not run your BRRR for you. Its Deal Analyzer does buy-to-let assessments, and the product's centre of gravity is local market data, valuations and comparables you interrogate yourself. For BRRR that is still valuable in one specific way: the end value you are underwriting has to be defended with sold comparables, and at £14 a month ex VAT with a 14-day no-card trial, this is the cheapest good source of that evidence here.
The single-deal analysers: PropAI and DealFlow AI
PropAI does a genuinely deep appraisal of a property you supply: a refurb estimate, stress tests, and a rating across four strategies, at £40 a month with a 5-day, single-property trial. Its pages do not name the four strategies, so before paying, check whether the refinance case you actually run is one of them.
DealFlow AI sits at the screening end: paste a Rightmove link, get a buy, maybe or avoid verdict with yield and cash flow, one free analysis a day with no account. It does not attempt the refurb costing or evidenced valuation a BRRR case rests on, and its pages do not pretend otherwise, which we rate. Use it to triage, not to underwrite.
Ours last: PropDetect
PropDetect appraises every deal across six strategies, and BRRR is one of them. The refurb is costed room by room from the listing photos, the end value comes from comparable sold prices, rent is modelled, and the deal gets a strong, solid or avoid verdict, with every figure editable, so the refinance assumptions are yours to change when you disagree. Deal Radar can also watch Rightmove and appraise matches before you ever see them, which nothing else in this table does. Entry is £7.99 a month.
The limits are the ones we would flag on any automated model: the end value is an estimate from sold comparables, not a surveyor's opinion; the figures do not account for your lender's criteria, your tax position or early repayment charges on bridging finance; and hidden works no photo can show will move the refurb number. Treat the verdict as the start of your diligence.
Frequently asked questions
Which UK tools model BRRR deals?
Few advertise it by name. On their own pages, Lendlord offers deal and flip analysers alongside portfolio management, PropAI rates a property across four unnamed strategies, and PropDetect runs BRRR as one of its six appraisal strategies. PropertyData and DealFlow AI cover buy-to-let assessment and quick screening respectively, rather than the refinance step.
What is the most important number in a BRRR appraisal?
Money left in: what remains of your capital after the refinance completes. It hangs on the end value and the loan-to-value your lender offers, which is why the evidence behind a tool's end value matters more than any other feature.
Can software predict my refinance valuation?
No, and be wary of any tool implying it can. Software can evidence an estimate from comparable sold prices, which is the right starting point, but the valuation that counts is the one your lender's surveyor writes.
Is there a free way to run BRRR numbers?
Lendlord's free tier includes its deal and flip analysers with no card needed, and DealFlow AI gives one free screening analysis a day with no account. PropDetect gives every new account 3 free analyses, no card needed, each covering all six strategies including BRRR.
Judge it on a real deal
