The short version
I used CoreLogic every day when I brokered in Auckland. Brilliant for title searches and valuations. Zero help for occupier prospecting. That is the whole story of why SCAYLED exists.
- CoreLogic NZ: the definitive New Zealand source for title, ownership, valuation, and historic transaction data. Brand-trusted since the 1980s (formerly Terranet, Headway, Valocity). It was on every desktop in every agency I worked in.
- SCAYLED: live occupier scanning and verified decision-maker contacts for neighbour-first prospecting. I built it in 2025 because after a decade running listings in West Auckland, I still had no tool that told me who operated from the shed next door.
The question is not "which one should I buy." It is "what am I trying to do on this listing." The answer usually requires both.
What each tool actually does
CoreLogic NZ is built for
- Looking up a specific property's title, ownership, and sale history
- Pulling rating valuation and capital valuation data
- Running comparable sales reports for appraisal and valuation
- Desktop due diligence on a target property
- Historic market analysis across suburbs and property types
- Enterprise reporting for agencies managing large portfolios
SCAYLED is built for
- Scanning every occupier inside a radius around a listing (200 m or 375 m)
- Identifying the decision-maker at each operator (Operations Director, Facility Manager, Managing Director)
- Verifying email addresses against live domain records (98% deliverability)
- Flagging same-building matches (the highest-converting lead in industrial)
- Drafting personalised outreach based on the listing context
- Moving from "address" to "twenty verified contacts with drafted emails" in two minutes
Where the overlap is
There is not much. CoreLogic tells you who owns the building. SCAYLED tells you who operates inside it and how to reach them. Those are different people, different lookups, different workflows. I learned that the hard way, spending hours on Google trying to bridge the gap manually.
The one narrow overlap: if an owner-occupier runs a business from a freehold they own, CoreLogic would show the owner and SCAYLED shows the operating business. For that case, SCAYLED surfaces both roles on the same record.

Pricing breakdown
CoreLogic NZ
Per-seat enterprise pricing, negotiated per agency. Public list pricing is not published, but based on what I have seen across Auckland agencies, typical spend ranges:
- Smaller agencies: ~$200 to $400 NZD per user per month
- Mid-size agencies: often bundled with valuation services
- Larger agencies: enterprise contracts into the tens of thousands per month
Usually paid at the agency level. Individual agents do not subscribe directly.
SCAYLED
- Free Trial: $0, 50 credits one-time, 1 listing
- Starter: $129 NZD / month, 200 credits, up to 5 listings
- Pro: $249 NZD / month, 425 credits, up to 10 listings
Paid per agent, not per agency.
The practical difference: CoreLogic is a boardroom decision at the agency level. SCAYLED is a corporate card decision at the agent level. You can sign up for SCAYLED and be scanning inside five minutes. CoreLogic usually requires a procurement cycle.
When to use which
You have just been briefed on a listing and need to prospect before it goes live
→ SCAYLED. Drop the address, scan the 200 m radius, call the same-building tenants first. This is the exact scenario I built SCAYLED around. When I ran listings in West Auckland, this was the step that took me six hours manually.
A vendor wants a CMA for their property before signing an agency agreement
→ CoreLogic. You need comparable sales, capital valuation, and sale history. SCAYLED does not replicate this. CoreLogic is genuinely the best property-data source in New Zealand for that job.
You are going after an off-market acquisition in a specific industrial estate
→ Both. CoreLogic to identify the freeholder of each building in the estate. SCAYLED to find the operator inside and the decision-maker to approach.
You are pitching for a new mandate against a competing agency
→ Both.CoreLogic gives you the track record of the vendor's property. SCAYLED gives you a prepared list of target tenants you could bring to a campaign. Walking in with twenty verified prospects already identified is the single strongest pitch move.
You are tracking market movements in Auckland industrial over the last year
→ CoreLogic. Historic sales data and transaction analysis. SCAYLED does not do retrospective market analysis.
You are calling on a vacant building to find the owner
→ CoreLogic for the freeholder. SCAYLED for the surrounding operators who would pay to expand next door.
What I tell agents who ask
I started in industrial brokerage in Auckland. CoreLogic NZ was on every desktop. I used it every day for title searches, valuations, and sale history. It is genuinely the best property-data source in New Zealand. It just does not tell you who operates from the shed.
When I ran listings in West Auckland, around Henderson, Lincoln Road, and Rosebank, I would spend half a day driving the estate and Googling business names to find the operators next door to my listing. That is the problem SCAYLED solves in two minutes.
If you have to pick one and you do mostly valuation work, pick CoreLogic. If you have to pick one and you do mostly transactional work and cold outreach, pick SCAYLED. If you are serious about the business, run both. They cost less together than a single closed deal.
