How it works

Are you paying the right price,
or going in blind?

Listings show the asking price. They don't show you what it actually costs to live there, what similar places sold for, or whether you're about to overpay. TrueCost pulls every cost, every data point, and every red flag into one report — so you know exactly what you're getting into.

1

Search any property, road or postcode

Type an address, a street name, or a postcode and get the right result for each. A full address gives you a detailed property report. A street name shows you every sale on that road. A postcode gives you the area overview with average prices, rental yields and local stats.

Can't find your specific address? Search the postcode instead and pick your property from the list — or browse the overview for your road or postcode to get the bigger picture.

Every number you need, in one place

We pull together the data you'd normally have to find across five different websites — sale prices, council tax, energy costs, flood risk, broadband speeds, crime stats, mortgage calculations, stamp duty — and bring it all into one report. But we also surface the things you didn't know you needed and wouldn't know where to look for. No guesswork, no gaps.

3

Make it personal

Tell us your situation and everything adjusts to you. Enter your household income and see exactly how affordable a property is for your circumstances. Set up monthly email reports for the areas that matter to you — stay on top of price changes, interest rate movements, and new comparable sales without having to check manually.

Access guides and advice when you need it — whether you're a first-time buyer working out stamp duty or a landlord benchmarking yields.

Go deeper with Pro and Agent tools

The financial horizon calculator shows you the total cost of owning a property over 5, 10 or 25 years — not just the mortgage, but every running cost projected forward. Price trend graphs let you see exactly how values have moved on your street. Household income personalisation scores every property against your actual take-home pay.

For agents: the dashboard gives you bulk postcode search, side-by-side property comparison, matched buyer alerts, and listing tools — everything you need to work faster and smarter.
