Institutional-grade property intelligence for everyday investors
Arqelo is a property investment intelligence platform that gives Australian investors access to the same calibre of analysis that institutional funds use — suburb scoring, comparable sales, risk assessment, and financial projections — without the $2,000 buyers agent fee.
The problem
Property investors in Australia rely on fragmented data — checking Domain for listings, CoreLogic for sales history, ABS for demographics, council sites for planning, and spreadsheets for projections. No single platform brings it all together with intelligence layered on top.
Buyers agents charge $500–$2,000 per property brief. For investors building a portfolio, that cost compounds. The client wanted a platform that could deliver the same depth of analysis at a fraction of the cost, accessible to anyone — not just those who can afford professional advice.
What we built
A subscription platform that aggregates 21+ data sources, applies AI-powered analysis, and delivers property and suburb intelligence through an investor-focused interface.
13-section property intelligence briefs
Comprehensive property analysis covering executive summary, financial projections, comparable sales, risk assessment, location intelligence, and AI-generated insights. Exportable as PDF or DOCX — designed to rival what buyers agents charge hundreds for.
Suburb intelligence hub
Early warning alerts for emerging opportunities, pattern detection across market indicators, growth trend analysis, and dual-persona insights for both beginner and experienced investors. Powered by data from the ABS, state valuer generals, SQM Research, and PropTrack.
Portfolio management
Track owned properties with equity, LVR, rental yield, and net cash flow calculations. Portfolio forecasting against investment goals, valuation history, and snapshot comparisons over time.
36-question buyer profile
A structured buyer brief covering personal situation, financial position, investment goals, risk appetite, and property preferences. The platform uses these inputs to personalise suburb recommendations and property scoring.
21+ integrated data sources
Government data (NSW Valuer General, ABS Census, crime statistics, bushfire/flood risk, school quality, transport), commercial data (Domain API, SQM Research, PropTrack), and enrichment via Google Maps for amenities, commute times, and gentrification signals.
Investment calculators
Borrowing power estimation using current RBA cash rates, mortgage repayment modelling, stamp duty calculation by state, yield analysis, and growth projection tools.
The outcome
Arqelo is live at app.arqelo.com with paying subscribers. The platform delivers property intelligence briefs that take minutes to generate and cover the same ground as a professional buyers agent assessment. Suburb intelligence updates automatically, portfolio tracking runs in real time, and the scoring engine evaluates properties across seven factors: demographics, employment, infrastructure, market activity, affordability, momentum, and data confidence.
