How it works

From address to rent

  1. You give the address.One flat, a house or a whole block, with the number of bedrooms in each unit.
  2. Comparable listings are read.Zoopla first, then OpenRent and Rightmove as a cross-check, flat type by flat type.
  3. A rent is set for each type.Low, average and high, with the number of comparables behind each one.
  4. The housing benefit rate is added.The official Local Housing Allowance for the area, from the government's own tool, with the gap per unit and across the block.
  5. The report is saved.A dated report with every source and the date it was read.
