Changelog
Outpost moves quickly but predictably. New countries, new data sources, methodology updates, bug fixes — everything is logged here. Subscribe to the field-notes newsletter (footer) to get a monthly digest.
Every dossier now includes a Local Intelligence section that names the specific laws and regulations affecting your address — PEUAT, AL containment, DPE class G ban, leasehold tail risk, okupa zones, plusvalía municipal. Each risk is tagged Low/Medium/High/Critical with a concrete mitigation step.
Two-scenario rental analysis added: long-term let (monthly rent range, gross + net yield, effective tax rate) and short-term let (nightly range, occupancy, licence status from available → banned). Replaces the old hand-wavy ‘market-average’ estimate.
Honest 1-5 scoring on healthcare, education, transit, safety. Climate notes. Expat-scene size. Cost-of-living index normalised to London = 100.
Three buyer tiers, one decision: free check, $49 one-off dossier, $99/mo Investor (or $990/yr — save 17%). Watchlist is a $5/mo opt-in for one-off buyers and free for subscribers. Concierge stays at $699 per closed transaction, held as a deposit. The /upgrade page is now a real checkout, not a second pricing menu.
Nominatim returns country names in local language (‘España’, ‘France’) — switched to ISO country_code matching with countrycodes pre-filter for higher hit rate.
Land Registry SPARQL queries were silently parse-failing due to missing xsd: prefix on date comparisons. Fixed + simplified town-matching to remove unreliable county filter.
Even when the AI service is rate-limited, every dossier now ships with hand-maintained named risks per country — okupas/PEUAT/Catalan rent cap for ES, AL containment/IFICI/unlicensed extensions for PT, DPE G ban/forced heirship/copropriété costs for FR, leasehold/SDLT surcharge/EWS1 for GB.
Published Terms of Service, Privacy Policy (UK/EU GDPR), Cookie Policy, Legal Disclaimer, Acceptable Use Policy. All live, none placeholder.
All French addresses now return real registered transactions from the CEREMA DVF+ endpoint, with adaptive bbox radius and weighted-median fair-value algorithm.
All UK addresses return real Price Paid transactions from the Land Registry SPARQL endpoint, town-matched over the last 24 months.
