Common questions

Everything you need to know before signing up.

Public filings are synced five times a day, every day, so new distressed property appears within hours of being filed. Alerts reach you the same day on Acquisition and Portfolio, and weekly on Prospect; Free accounts see records once they are 21 days old. Paid plans also carry the early distress signal — cases that surface from a statutory insolvency notice or a practitioner appointment before the Companies House filing lands.

The public record tells you a company is distressed — it doesn’t hand you the person selling the asset. That is the part we do for you: the appointed practitioner’s name, firm, and direct contact, matched and enriched from the filing, so you skip the hour of manual research per company.

Company, charge, and insolvency data is sourced from official public registers (Companies House, HM Land Registry, and statutory insolvency notices). It may lag the live register or contain errors — verify before acting.

Not necessarily — and this is where Receiv-r saves you time. A company can be registered at a London accountant’s office while its property sits in Leeds or Bristol. We extract the actual asset address, so you see where the property really is.

No. The Free plan requires no payment details. You get 4 unlocks to try the full database, plus access to data 21+ days old, so you can evaluate before committing.

Yes. No minimum terms, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account settings and your subscription ends at the close of your current billing period.

A charge is a lender’s security over a property: if the loan is not repaid, the lender can use the property to recover what it is owed. When a company borrows against property, the charge is registered at Companies House and is usually also noted on the property’s title at HM Land Registry. A fixed charge attaches to a specific asset, such as a named building; a floating charge covers a changing pool of assets and only fixes onto them later, for example if the company goes into liquidation. An outstanding charge is one that has not been recorded as satisfied (paid off).

They are different insolvency processes with different aims. In receivership, a lender appoints a receiver to take control of the property its charge covers and recover the debt, usually by selling or letting that property. In administration, a licensed insolvency practitioner takes control of the whole company to rescue it, or to get a better result for creditors than closing it down immediately. In liquidation, a liquidator closes the company, sells its assets and pays creditors from the proceeds, after which the company is dissolved. Receiv-r tracks all three.

Match the company’s insolvency record at Companies House to HM Land Registry’s data on land owned by companies. Companies House shows when a company enters receivership, administration or liquidation, who has been appointed, and the charges registered against it. HM Land Registry publishes which titles UK and overseas companies own in England and Wales, so you can see the property behind the case. Receiv-r does this matching for you, continuously, and shows the charged property and the appointed practitioner for each case.

Yes. The core records come from public registers: Companies House (company status, insolvency cases, officeholders and charges) and HM Land Registry (titles owned by companies in England and Wales, and price paid data). What Receiv-r adds is the work of joining them up: monitoring the registers several times a day, matching each case to the property behind it, extracting a clean address and finding the appointed practitioner’s contact details.
