House-hunting in Bristol, scored and shared

Bristol's colourful Georgian terraces, harbourside flats and family homes out toward the suburbs make for a long shortlist in a market that's moved fast. Scoring each place the same way is how you compare a Clifton flat against a Bishopston terrace on an honest scale.

Compare Bristol homes on what matters to you

Whether you're weighing up Clifton, Bishopston, Southville or anywhere else around Bristol, the hard part is the same, with too many listings and not enough clarity. Groundwork lets you score each place against your own priorities and ranks the shortlist automatically, so the standouts rise to the top instead of getting lost in a tab graveyard.

A local angle worth scoring

The EPC rating, on-street parking, the hill you'd cycle up and flood maps along the harbour are all worth real points in a Bristol search.
