For expats & remote buyers

You're buying UK property from 5,000 miles away. You need the analysis your agent isn't giving you.

Remote buyers face every disadvantage in the UK property market — no local knowledge, no ability to view comparable properties, and an estate agent who works for the seller. OfferHound gives you the data intelligence to buy with confidence from anywhere in the world.

Expat buyer, real result

"I was buying from Singapore. My agent kept reassuring me the price was fair. OfferHound showed it was £55,000 above comparable sales. I instructed my solicitor to renegotiate and we got it at a much better price."

The remote buyer's problem

What remote buyers can't see from a listing

🗺️

Whether the asking price is fair

Without being on the ground, you can't walk local streets or see what sold recently. Our comparable sales analysis uses Land Registry Price Paid Data — the definitive record of what properties actually sold for, not just what they were listed at.

🌊

Flood risk and environmental hazards

UK flood zone data is publicly available from the Environment Agency but requires interpretation. We map the property against flood zones, surface water risk, and contaminated land registers — and flag any findings in plain English.

📋

Leasehold complexity

UK leasehold law is notoriously complex. We flag lease-related issues from the Land Registry title register — short leases, ground rent structures, and tenure anomalies that could affect mortgage eligibility and resale value.

🏛️

Planning history and neighbour risk

Planning applications — including refused ones from neighbours — don't appear on Rightmove or Zoopla. We surface the planning history for the property and nearby addresses so you know what development could affect the area.

The remote buyer's edge

OfferHound is particularly valuable for remote and expat buyers because it delivers exactly the data intelligence a local buyer would build up through viewings, local knowledge, and research — instantly, from official government sources.

What buyers say

Expat buyers who used the data.

★★★★★

"Buying from Hong Kong, I had no way to verify whether the asking price was fair. OfferHound showed me the comparable sales, the flood risk, and the leasehold details — all in one report. I shared it with my UK solicitor and we renegotiated from an informed position."

Questions from expat buyers

Yes. OfferHound works entirely online. You just need the Rightmove or Zoopla URL for the property you're considering. The report is delivered by email — you can be anywhere in the world.

Yes. The Property and Risk Assessment section includes title and tenure flags from HM Land Registry, including whether the property is freehold or leasehold, and any anomalies in the title register that could indicate problems with ground rent, service charges, or lease length. For expat buyers, this is particularly important — leasehold properties with short leases can be difficult to mortgage and resell.

OfferHound pulls from HM Land Registry (comparable sold prices, title data), the Environment Agency (flood risk, surface water), the EPC Register (energy rating, floor area, running costs), Planning Portal (applications and decisions), Ofsted (school ratings), and Rightmove/Zoopla (listing data, price history, time on market). Every finding is traceable to its source.

We need the full property address to pull official records — Rightmove and Zoopla don't share the address with us directly. After you submit the listing URL, you'll be prompted to enter the address (house number, street, town, postcode) before payment. This is straightforward — it's usually visible on the listing page itself.

We pull data from multiple government sources, compile everything into a structured analysis, and send your PDF by email — regardless of your timezone.
