What the verdict looks like

House TiebreakerEngland & Wales
Abridged from Sample Report No. 001 — the same format you receive.
MeasureHouse AHouse B
Price vs local £/sqft≈£288/sqft — 24% below local median≈£423/sqft — above median, near 75th percentile
New-build premiumAbsorbed — built several years agoLive risk — first resale likely flat to −2%
Crime contextLow — well below England & Wales averageMixed — published measures conflict
Time to sell~69 days typical~78 days — competes with developer stock
5-year scenario£715k–£775k range£650k–£695k range
Verdict: House A

On the evidence, House A wins: bought ~24% below the local per-square-foot norm, it starts from value; House B starts from a new-build premium it must first absorb. House B's strongest cards — newest stock, warranty, developer incentives — narrow the gap but don't overturn the maths.

What's in the report

The verdict

One recommendation, stated plainly, with the reasoning that got us there.

Price vs the local market

Per-square-foot against the local distribution — not a national average.

Resale outlook

Five-year scenario ranges with every assumption written down.

Area & risk flags

Crime context, flood, planning and environmental checks.

Running costs

EPC and fabric translated into what the house will cost to live in.

The counter-case

The strongest argument for the house we didn't pick, so you can weigh it yourself.

Questions

Before you order

What exactly do I get?
A PDF report comparing your shortlisted homes on price, area, risk, running costs and resale outlook, ending in one clear recommendation with the evidence behind it.
How fast is it?
Within 72 hours of payment.
Who writes the report?
Every report is researched and written by a senior analyst with 18+ years in data-led decision work, using the method and sources listed on every page of the report. No part of the verdict is outsourced.
Is this a survey or a valuation?
No. A survey is a physical inspection of a building by a surveyor, and a valuation is a formal opinion of value. This is independent decision support built from official published data. It is not a RICS survey, valuation, or financial advice.
Do you keep my data?
Only what's needed: your name, email, listing links and priorities, which reach us by email. Order records are kept six years for UK accounting rules; sample-report emails until you unsubscribe. Ask for a copy or deletion any time at admin@housetiebreaker.com. Full details in our privacy notice.
What if I disagree with the verdict?
Tell us within 14 days of delivery and we'll refund you in full, once per customer and shortlist.
Where do you cover?
England & Wales only.
I'm renting, not buying — can I use this?
Yes — we make rental verdicts too: is the rent fair for the area, should you challenge an increase, which flat wins. See the renters page.
