Pre-offer property reports · England

How much to offer on a house? Know the facts first.

Send us the listing. Within 48 hours you'll have what the street actually sold for, compared like for like by size, plus flood risk, boundaries, condition checks and the questions to ask the agent. The evidence is ours to find; the decision stays yours.

Checked by a person, not just a computer. Facts, not advice: we never tell you what to offer.

What you get

Everything you need before you offer

Sold prices, like for like

Recent sales on the same street, as paid and per square metre, side by side with the asking price. No spin and no recommended figure.

Condition checklist

What to look for at the viewing and which certificates to ask for: electrics, boiler, damp, roof and asbestos, with typical repair costs.

Flood risk at the exact house

Rivers, surface water, reservoirs and planning flood zones, measured from the house itself, not the postcode.

Plot and boundaries

Land Registry boundaries drawn on a map, so you know what you're actually buying.

Sun and garden orientation

Which way the house faces and how the sun moves across the plot through the year.

Getting around

Nearest stations and trains, every bus route within a short walk and how often it runs, and how far it is to the towns, cities and airports that matter.

Costs and area

Stamp duty, council tax, energy rating, broadband, crime, schools, planning nearby and likely rent.

Questions

What buyers ask us

How much should I offer on a house?

Start from what similar homes on the same street have actually sold for, compared like for like by size, condition and how long ago they sold. The asking price is set by the seller and agent; sold prices are what buyers actually paid. Your report sets out that evidence for the exact house. We don't suggest a figure: the offer is your decision. For the method step by step, read our free guide: how much to offer on a house.

Will you tell me what to offer?

No. We give you the facts: what nearby homes sold for, how the asking price compares, and the risks and costs we found. On some streets the asking price is above every recent sale; on others it's in line or below. The decision is always yours.

Is this a valuation or a survey?

No. It's factual research from public data, it doesn't recommend a price, and we don't visit the property. You should still get a survey, use a solicitor and rely on your lender's valuation.

What do I need to send?

The listing link and anything you're unsure about. If you've viewed the house, your own photos help too.

How quickly will I get my report?

Within 48 hours of payment.

Which areas do you cover?

Any house for sale in England, from London to Cornwall to Northumberland. Every report uses the same national public data: HM Land Registry sold prices, energy certificates, Environment Agency flood data and police crime records.

Who checks your report

Someone who has done it

Every report is checked by a person who has bought, sold and renovated houses first hand, and knows the conveyancing process from offer to completion. That's why each report includes what to look for at the viewing, what repairs typically cost, and the questions worth asking before you offer. More about us · How we check the facts
