The short version
Cotality, the new name for CoreLogic since March 2025, is the property record for most Australian agencies. Scayled is the outbound layer: who would take this property, who decides, and who is about to need space.
- Cotality (CoreLogic, RP Data, Cityscope): RP Data covers ownership, sales history, valuations and market data, mainly residential. Cityscope covers commercial property in the capital cities and selected regional centres, with records on tenants and building owners, contact details, lease information and lease expiries.
- Scayled: an occupier intelligence platform. Around the property, it returns every business nearby, the person who decides at each and a drafted email. Across the market, it finds businesses anywhere in Australia whose operations fit the property's size, use and type. Every occupier found is tracked for signs it will need space, and everything stays in your own Occupier Database.
What does Cotality do better?
- Title, ownership and sales history on a specific property
- Valuation and comparable sales for appraisals
- Building-level commercial research through Cityscope: tenants, owners, managing agents, tenancy mix
- Lease expiry tracking for commercial tenants it has recorded
- Market reports and data feeds for agencies, lenders and valuers
For appraisals and building research, Cotality is the tool. Scayled does none of this.
What does Scayled do that Cotality does not?
Cotality is organised by property: look up a building and see its owner and tenants. Scayled is organised by the property you need to fill: give it an address and it works out which businesses could take it.
- Around the property (Neighbour Scan): every business near the address, the decision maker at each and a drafted email per business
- Across the market (Target Scan): businesses anywhere in the country whose operations fit the property, including ones in buildings no database has researched
- Movement tracking: hiring, contract wins, new sites, funding and lease events on every occupier found, on a map and a feed
- Outreach from your own inbox: drafted per recipient, sent from your mailbox
That tracking side is explained in how to spot which occupiers will need space, and the Sydney version of the method is in industrial real estate leads in Sydney.
Where do they overlap?
On commercial tenants. Cityscope already records tenants, owners and lease expiries for the buildings it covers, and agents can prospect from those records. Where coverage is good for your patch, that is a reasonable place to start.
Scayled differs in three ways: it starts from your property and matches businesses to it, including businesses across the country that would relocate; it finds the person who decides and writes the first email; and it keeps tracking every occupier you found for signs it will need space.
