Know before you offer.
Every buyer should know: is the price justified? What are the real risks? What should you actually offer?
Before you make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, know what you're buying. Flood risk, crime stats, comparable sold prices, energy obligations, tenure issues, subsidence, and your personalised offer strategy — everything an agent won't tell you. £9.99.

Four things that actually matter
Not a data dump. Answers to the questions every buyer needs before they commit.
Is the price justified?
We analyse recent sold prices for comparable properties nearby and calculate price per sq ft. You'll know clearly whether the asking price stacks up — and how much room you have to negotiate.
e.g. We've found properties listed £40,000 above comparable sold prices on the same street — the agent won't mention it.
What's the area actually like?
Beyond the postcode. Crime rates and trends, school Ofsted ratings, flood risk, transport links — the things you'd spend a week researching, done in seconds.
e.g. Crime up 34% in the past 12 months, primarily vehicle crime. The listing description says "vibrant neighbourhood."
What don't you know about the house?
Lease traps, energy obligations, ground rent, mining subsidence — issues that cost tens of thousands after you've moved in, and that no one volunteers upfront.
e.g. Flood Zone 2 risk, EPC G (£3,200/yr to heat), historic coal mining within 25m. None of it in the listing.
What should you offer — and how?
We decode the numbers into a plain-English offer strategy: your opening price, your walk-away number, and exactly what to say to the agent. This is the part they definitely won't give you.
e.g. Comparables + 90 days on market + D-rated EPC = open at £412,000, not £450,000. Seller has room to move.

The cost of getting it wrong
The market doesn't make it easy right now.
With interest rates still elevated, overpaying isn't just a one-time cost. Every extra £10,000 above true market value adds thousands in interest over your mortgage term — and leaves you underwater if you need to sell.
Global uncertainty means sellers are holding firm on price. Buyers without data are the ones who pay it.
One price. No catches.
Everything else you'll spend money on during a purchase — none of it tells you what to offer.
The research says it clearly:
"Buyers who negotiate with independent data save an average of £22,900."
