The Problem
Home buyers are overwhelmed by fragmented property purchase information across solicitors, estate agents, surveyors, lenders, and sellers. They struggle to understand whether issues like roof repairs, damp, covenant breaches, leasehold obligations, mortgage delays, or slow solicitor responses are normal, negotiable, or deal-breaking.
Potential Solution
A buyer-side SaaS tool ingests emails, survey PDFs, memorandum of sale documents, legal enquiries, and property listing data, then converts them into a live transaction timeline with risk flags, missing actions, cost exposure, and escalation prompts. It provides issue-specific checklists, negotiation evidence packs, deadline tracking, and automated nudges to solicitors, agents, lenders, and vendors.
Why Now?
Housing transactions are increasingly delayed by complex chains, leasehold/freehold issues, cautious lenders, and overloaded conveyancers. Buyers are already using Reddit and forums to decode high-stakes transaction risks that software could structure automatically.
House prices falling - fear of overpaying?
We’re looking for a 3/4 bedroom property around Horsham/Crawley area, the best ones in Maidenbower (Crawley) are below - a couple are sold STC. There seems to be a huge disparity in price now. My previous assumption was that we should increase our budget for a forever home, but with prices now dropping (albeit for how long?) is that advice out of date? Would love some thoughts on the properties below and perceived value for money. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/173176025#/?channel=RES\_BUY https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/174045494#/?channel=RES\_BUY https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/174609701#/?channel=RES\_BUY https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/174670274#/?channel=RES\_BUY
Why the asking price so different for similar properties
Hi, I saw a few properties that in good state but asking price is different by nearly £70K. This one is in a quite road, fully refurb, no chain with asking £450k [https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/88098174#/?channel=RES\_BUY](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/88098174#/?channel=RES_BUY) Another one are in similar road with smaller garden (south facing) but asking more than £500K [https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/172817585#/?channel=RES\_BUY](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/172817585#/?channel=RES_BUY) I can't see any difference other than a south facing garden with the £450K one even has a downstairs toilet. Am I missing something?
Downvaluation
Good afternoon everyone! Hopefully someone can offer me some advice! We recently had an offer on a property accepted for 268k (listed for 280k). We have been going through the mortgage application process and had our valuation a couple of days ago and it came back at 245k!! Obviously this is significantly under what we were expecting. There were no issues with the house itself, the figure was due to comparables in the area. The issue is that this house is unique and there are only one other property on the road that fit the same criteria (Edwardian house, same number of beds) and it is the semi that is attached. All the other houses are either smaller, or of a completely different style (modern versus Edwardian). The semi that is attached was sold in 2021 for 280k, although they have a freestanding garage and need less modernisation. Rightmove estimates next door as being worth 305k now. All online free valuers estimate the property we are trying to purchase as around 280-290k. We are confused as to the large discrepancy in figures, as we assume the estate agent will have valued the house also, so such a large down value seems crazy. Our first mortgage lender used Connells. So we have applied with a different lender who uses e.survey (something like that). My questions are: 1. Is the second valuation likely to come back with the same figure or could it be markedly different? 2. If they come back with the same down value or similar, would it be enough to negotiate price with the seller? As 23k down value is significant and if they were to remarket, a future buyer would also face similar issues to us? Or am I reading this wrong? Has anyone had this issue or a similar one and can shed some advice/light on the situation? We are feeling a bit defeated at the moment as this house would be our long term dream home and it is an unusual style for the area. Thank you in advance 🫶
New builds worth it?
Are new builds worth it? They seem v overpriced and smaller than period properties. Also worried about holding value and have heard of horror stories with social housing being on the same site / next door. Is there a way of checking this before buying ? I am absolutely not a snob and our current neighbours are council tenants and lovely people but I have friends who live on new build estates and have had various issues with kids from social housing estates on the next street.
