About PropertyBrick
The free weekly newsletter for Northern Ireland buy-to-let investors.
Every Monday, PropertyBrick lands in your inbox with the week's most interesting NI buy-to-let opportunities. each one with indicative rent estimates, gross yield ranges, and a plain-English summary of why it caught our eye. You get the numbers upfront, so you can decide in seconds whether a deal deserves a closer look.
The problem we’re solving
Northern Ireland's property market is hard to read. Listings rarely show yield, rental demand is high, and reliable comparables take time to find.
So most investors end up doing the same things every week:
scrolling listings for hours
guessing rent from stale or inconsistent data
building spreadsheets to estimate yield
missing good deals because the numbers weren't clear fast enough
PropertyBrick removes that friction. We do the repetitive analysis, you get the shortlist.
What's in each issue
Every Monday you'll get:
The week's standout picks — properties that look promising on the numbers, with estimated rent ranges and indicative gross yields shown upfront
The reasoning, in plain English — what the numbers suggest, what we've assumed, and what you'd want to verify yourself
Consistent methodology — every property is assessed the same way, so you can compare deals like-for-like instead of starting from scratch each time
Important: our figures are indicative ranges, not a valuation or financial advice. We show assumptions and treat every result as a starting point for due diligence.
How we work
Transparent estimates. We're clear about what's calculated, what's assumed, and what's unknown. If the data behind an estimate is thin, we say so rather than dress it up.
Independence first. We don't hide paid placements inside analysis. If something is ever promoted, it will be labelled as such — no exceptions.
Built for this market. PropertyBrick covers Northern Ireland only. No diluted UK-wide averages, no Dublin data creeping in — just the market you're actually investing in.
Why I started PropertyBrick
I'm a Northern Ireland landlord, and I built PropertyBrick because I lived this problem.
NI has genuine opportunities, but the data is fragmented, inconsistent, and slow to validate. I found myself repeating the same manual analysis every week, checking rents, estimating yields, hunting for comparables and making decisions with imperfect information anyway.
PropertyBrick is the newsletter I wanted as an investor: clear numbers, honest assumptions, and fast insight, built specifically for Northern Ireland.
