How it works

Before you view it, before you offer on it, before you sign the tenancy: check it bythenumbers.

Three steps. Same published open data on every report. No listings, no paywall.

  1. 01

    Search

    Type a postcode. Get the picture.

    A full postcode, a district such as M1, or a town name. The report is the next screen, not a waiting room.

    Where figures come from
  3. 03

    Compare

    Put two areas side by side.

    The useful picture is often the gap by category: where you live now beside where you are thinking of going.
