How it works

Three steps, in order

A clear path from a blank postcode to a confident decision — every step is free.

  1. 1

    Check the area

    Pull sold prices, crime, flood risk, schools and council tax for the postcode — the things that move a price or change your mind.

  2. 2

    Run the numbers

    Work out the true cost with the stamp duty calculator, then compare selling by auction, agent or cash buyer.

  3. 3

    Get the full picture

    OfferCheck pulls crime, flood, planning, tenure and condition into a single sourced summary before you offer.
