RFPG.ai launches phone-based refurb estimates for UK property deals

Swansea developer Robert Eley has launched RFPG.ai, a property app that turns a phone walk-round into an itemised refurbishment estimate with HM Land Registry comparables. The Android app is live now, the iPhone version is coming soon, and first scans are free.

Why it matters: - RFPG.ai aims to cut guesswork from property refurbishment and deal analysis. - The app gives homeowners, investors, developers, deal sourcers and trades a faster starting point before they call a builder or make an offer. - The service combines refurb estimates, sold-price comparables and deal maths in one PDF pack.

What happened: - Swansea developer Robert Eley launched RFPG.ai, a UK property app that turns a phone walk-round into an itemised refurbishment estimate in minutes. - The app is live on Google Play now. - The iPhone app is coming soon. - The first scan is free. - RFPG.ai is based in Swansea, Wales.

The details: - Each RFPG report uses more than 40 data points and is delivered as a PDF deal pack. - The report includes an itemised refurbishment cost by room and trade, plus a materials list and schedule of works. - The pack includes value estimates and sold-price comparables from HM Land Registry for England and Wales. - The report also includes the deal maths, including the maximum offer. - Additional outputs include area average rent from ONS, gross yield, planning and flood checks for England and Wales, HMO and short-let routes, energy and heating items, safety items, and local crime, house-price and earnings data. - RFPG's public example report is based on a fictional three-bed semi and splits the works into 28 costed items. More information - Refurbishment cost estimates cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. - Value estimates, sold-price comparables and the EPC check use data for England and Wales only. - RFPG uses sold prices from HM Land Registry for its comparables.

Between the lines: - RFPG.ai is positioned as a well-evidenced starting point, not a RICS report or a builder's quote. - That makes the product most useful for early-stage decision-making, where speed matters more than formal valuation. - The launch also broadens the use case beyond investors to homeowners and trades, which could help the company build a larger user base.

What's next: - RFPG says the website at rfpg.ai is for accounts, reports and payments, while scanning happens inside the app. - The RFPG Marketplace for sourced deals, operated by Eleys Group Ltd at sourcer.rfpg.ai, is coming soon. - Founding members can get 50% off the first year of a yearly plan through 23:59 on Monday 30 November 2026. - Founding members also get 20% off renewals for life while the plan stays active, plus early access to new releases and a Founder badge on their social profile. - The founding offer page is available here: Founding offer details - Users can download the app here: Download the app

The bottom line: - RFPG.ai is betting that faster, cheaper property due diligence can win over buyers who need a rough but evidence-backed refurb figure before they commit. - The app's value proposition is speed, comparables and an all-in-one deal pack, not formal professional sign-off.
