Q. What data can I search for?
A. Atlas allows you to search for letting and sale transactions as well as availability (live disposals). These will appear within the same Letting and Sale search views, allowing you to see completed and available lettings and sales.
Q. How do I access and log into Atlas?
A. You can access Atlas directly at atlas.kato.app or (if you are logged into Kato) by clicking on the app switcher (the Atlas logo) in the top left corner of the application window. Kato users, here you can also request an Atlas licence, if you do not currently have access.
Atlas uses the same login credentials as your Kato account, so if you are using the link/url website address, you only need one username and password.
If you’re not already a Kato user but your organisation is on Kato, reach out to your organisation admin who can provide access. Message us in the live chat or over email if you don't know who your org admin is.
Q. How can I search for data?
A. Atlas offers multiple ways to search:
Search bar – Includes pre-populated locations such as towns, markets, submarkets, local authorities, and building addresses.
Draw your own polygon – Ideal for defining custom geographic areas.
Map search – Navigate and explore results directly on the map.
After running a polygon search, you can also extend the search area from the results page.
Save Changes:
Make sure to save your changes to ensure that the Joint Agents are associated with the specific disposal.
Handy Tip: If you search by a building address, we recommend drawing a polygon around the building and applying a radius for the most accurate results.
Q. How can I create a report?
A. The multiple ways in which a user can compile a report is as follows:
Reporting on all activity
If you're conducting broader market research or general analysis:
Run your search.
Click “Report on all (up to 250 records)”.
Generate your Excel export.
Creating a comparables schedule
If you're selecting specific comparables:
Use the + button in the summary view, or click “Add to report” in the detailed transaction view.
When you're ready, click “Report”.
Choose and configure the columns you'd like in your Excel export.
Q. How can I save a search?
A. Saving searches helps you quickly revisit areas or criteria you use regularly, especially if you've drawn custom polygons or applied detailed filters.
To save a search:
Run your search and apply your filters.
Click “Save search” above the results.
Name your saved search.
You can access your saved searches any time through the search bar.
Coming soon: Email alerts for new transactions that match your saved search criteria.
Q. Where does Atlas Availability data come from?
A. Atlas surfaces available letting and sale disposals that are published from Kato agent accounts to public locations such as agency websites and third-party portals like Rightmove/Zoopla.
Q. What happens if there are multiple versions of the same disposal?
A. Atlas Find Availability searches will display every version of the disposal (e.g. if the property id being marketed by multiple agencies)
Q. Can a user outside of a society see society disposals?
A. If a disposal is only published to a society marketplace and no other public location, then only users within an organisation that has a member of that society will be able to see that disposal in their find availability searches.
Q. Are there plans to extend the coverage of disposals within Find Availability?
A. Currently, the find availability data is sourced from Kato published disposals that have been posted to portals via Kato. Overtime, Kato wants to ensure we have complete coverage of market supply by syncing with more source data.
Q. Does Find Availability replace searching on Kato society Marketplaces?
A. No - For agents who are members of a Marketplace, the best place to access availability data remains Marketplace. This is where agents should go to communicate with the market, manage live opportunities, and do deals. Atlas does not have the same matching, messaging and reporting efficiency that can be gained from using the Society Marketplaces on Kato.
