When you can't walk the street at 10pm, can't pop round for a second viewing, and can't ask neighbours what the area is really like — you need the data to do the work your instincts would normally do. OfferHound is built for exactly this.
Land Registry, flood maps, EPC register, planning portals — all publicly available, but navigating them from overseas while managing a full-time job and a relocation is not realistic. OfferHound compiles it all into one document.
If you're buying in sterling from a foreign salary, you're already managing exchange rate exposure. Overpaying by £40,000 isn't just £40,000 — it's that amount at the exchange rate on completion day.
Estate agents are legally obligated to get the best outcome for the seller. Expat buyers without local knowledge are particularly easy to steer. OfferHound gives you an independent, data-backed counterpoint.
Transport links, school quality, local development plans — these define whether a property works for your life and holds its value. We surface all of it from official data sources, not estate agent marketing copy.
"The flood risk section caught something I'd completely missed — the garden is in Flood Zone 2. That completely changed my assessment of the property. The depth of coverage is genuinely impressive."
— Anya W., buyer from Singapore, Surrey · April 2025
Land Registry sold prices — not asking prices, not estimates. Actual transactions for comparable properties, weighted and explained.
River flooding, surface water, reservoir risk — from the Environment Agency. The kind of thing you'd notice on a local walk but can't see from a floor plan.
Energy rating, estimated annual bills, and cost to upgrade — from the official EPC Register. Moving back to the UK often means heating costs that surprised you last time.
What's been built nearby, what's been refused, what's pending. Development risk you can't assess from Google Street View.
Ofsted-rated catchment schools, station distances, commute scoring — the things you'd ask a local but can't when you're 5,000 miles away.
A specific offer range with negotiation scripts — so you can instruct your solicitor or buying agent with confidence, even from abroad.
If you've been outside the UK for more than 183 days in the 12 months before purchase, you'll pay an additional 2% Stamp Duty on top of the standard rate. On a £500,000 property, that's an extra £10,000.
Every OfferHound report includes a precise SDLT calculation — including the non-resident surcharge where applicable — so you know your total cost of purchase before you commit.
