House-hunting with your partner, minus the arguments

Two people, two sets of priorities, twenty listings and one group chat. No wonder it gets tense. Groundwork gives you both a shared, scored shortlist — so you're comparing places, not opinions.

Everyone scores the same shortlist

Invite your partner, housemates or family by email and you're all adding to and scoring one list. No more forwarding links back and forth or discovering you each had a different favourite the agent never heard about.

See what each of you actually values

When the scores are explicit, the conversation changes. You can see that one of you weights light and the other weights the commute — and meet in the middle on the place that does well on both, instead of relitigating it every Saturday.

Let the ranking break the tie

When two homes feel equally good, the combined score and the value-for-money view settle it calmly. It's a lot easier to agree with a number you both helped build than to win an argument in the car park.

Common questions

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 — no more scattered group chats and half-remembered favourites.

Who can see my shortlist?

Only the people you invite into a hunt. Nothing is public, nothing is sold, and there are no ads or profiling trackers.

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.

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.
