House-hunting in London, scored and shared
London house-hunting means trading zone and commute against space and light, period charm against the work it needs, and a market where the good places go in days. A scored shortlist keeps you decisive when every viewing is a compromise dressed up as a dream.
Compare London homes on what matters to you
Whether you're weighing up Hackney, Clapham, Islington or anywhere else around London, the hard part is the same: too many listings, 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
Lease length, service charges and which way the garden faces swing a London home more than the postcode does — make them scoring categories, not footnotes.
