A house-hunting app built around the decision
Real estate portals are great at showing you listings and not so helpful when it comes to choosing between them. Groundwork is the other half. Add the places you're seeing, score each one against your own priorities, and watch your shortlist rank itself, right there on the phone you're holding at the inspection.
More than a list of saved listings
Every portal lets you favourite a place. None of them tell you whether it's actually better than the last three. Groundwork turns saved homes into a scored, ranked shortlist, so "we liked a few" becomes "this one wins, and here's why".
What the app does
- Add any property, pasting a link or entering it by hand in seconds
- Score it on your own categories, deal-breakers, location and gut feel
- Rank the shortlist by total score or by value for money
- Share a hunt so everyone scores the same list, live
- Switch a hunt between buying and renting any time
Free, and nothing to install
Groundwork runs in any phone browser and adds to your home screen like a native app, with no app store and no signup to try. It's free for buyers and renters, with no per-property or per-hunt charges.
Ready to start your shortlist?
Add your first place and score it in under a minute, no signup needed. Bring your people in whenever you're ready.
Common questions
Is Groundwork free?
Yes. Groundwork is free for buyers and renters, with no per-property or per-hunt charges. You can start scoring straight away without even creating an account.
How is each property scored?
You decide. Set your own categories, points and deal-breakers, add a location rating and a gut-feel score, and Groundwork rolls it into one comparable number for every place.
Can my partner or housemates use it with me?
That's the whole idea. Invite anyone you're searching with by email and you all score the same shared shortlist, with no more scattered group chats and half-remembered favourites.
Does it work for renting as well as buying?
Yes. Switch a hunt to Rent mode and the price field, the value-for-money score and your exports all move to a weekly-rent basis. Everything else works the same.
