The idea started with a bad offer
OfferHound was founded after our founder watched a close friend overpay by £35,000 on a property in Birmingham — not because they were careless, but because they didn't have the data. The estate agent had told them it was "fairly priced for the area." It wasn't. Three comparable sales within 400 metres told a very different story, but finding and interpreting that data took our founder's friend two weeks of evenings after the fact. By then, the money was spent.
That experience crystallised a simple insight: the information needed to buy a property well already exists. It's in Land Registry records, Environment Agency databases, EPC registers, planning portals. It's public, official, and authoritative. The problem is it takes 100+ hours to find and make sense of — hours most buyers don't have.
OfferHound was built to do that work automatically, for anyone.
Our beliefs about property buying
Buyers deserve better
Estate agents are legally required to act in the seller's best interest. There's no equivalent obligation to buyers. We exist to balance that equation.
Data over opinion
Every claim in an OfferHound report is sourced. We cite the comparable, reference the flood zone map, link to the planning application. No gut feel, no vague assessments.
Accessible to everyone
Buying agents charge £5,000–£15,000. That means their clients are wealthy buyers who could probably afford to overpay anyway. We charge £9.99 because every buyer deserves this.
The mission in one sentence
"Make it impossible for any UK buyer to unknowingly overpay for a property."
