What a home really costs.
Prices always look like they only rise. Adjust for inflation and the story changes — we show both, from the official record, street by street.

01 — Price per m²
The same price. Half the home.
A headline price hides how much you actually get. We divide sold price by floor area — from EPC records — so you compare like for like. Portals don't.
Same money, 65% more space — and a third off the price you pay per square metre.

Pick any two areas and see where your money goes further — price, space, and how fast each has grown.
04 — Repeat sales
Did this house beat the market?
When a home sells more than once, the record shows exactly what it earned — and whether it genuinely grew, merely kept pace with inflation, or lagged its own street. No portal tells you this.
After inflation, this home gained +18% — real growth, not just a bigger number. But its street did +25%, so it lagged the local market by 7 points.
05 — Trust
Built on public data. Nothing hidden.
No estimates, no listings, no black box. Every figure traces back to an official source — and every page shows how many sales it's built on, and when it last changed.
