Bricks&Logic was founded in 2018 by Matthew McDwyer & Jean Paul Bonnet.
We launched our free-to-use platform in May 2020, giving the general public a groundbreaking new approach to both better understand the makeup of the housing stock and to better estimate the current and historical value of individual properties.
Initially covering London, we extended our coverage to all of England and Wales by the start of 2023, providing data on over 27 million properties.
We have also developed a series of innovative analytical models and white-label products, equipping estate agents and other property professionals with extra knowledge and tools to help them win new business.
Our mission is to provide property buyers, sellers, renters and landlords and professionals with accurate property level information and pricing.
This information is not readily available because producing it is easier said than done. The industry in the UK lacks transparency in part because Estate Agency is an unregulated business with no real requirement to file any public information.
Many commonly used house price indices have significant limitations. For example, they may be too focused on out-of-date sale prices, or fail to account for the impact of new build properties in an area.
We believe a central source of information bringing together the available public records alongside trusted Estate Agent input will create an invaluable resource for everyone involved in the market.
For many people, buying and selling properties are the biggest financial decisions they make in their lives.
Property value also has a real impact on consumer confidence and rising and falling house prices are often used, rightly or wrongly, as an indicator of how the UK economy is performing.
So we decided to do things differently - to produce better data to achieve better results for the general public and property professionals alike.
We combine a wide variety of information sources with leading data science, such as statistical analysis, machine learning, and AI, to predict property sales and rental values on an individual basis. Even the values of property on the same street can change differently over time!
Our approach is unique because we have developed a Digital Twin for every residential unit in England and Wales, providing a comprehensive understanding of each property's characteristics.
We then create a unique index for every property, rather than the more usual and considerably easier approach of creating indices by area.
"Why do we love Bricks&Logic? It’s easy to navigate, the heat maps are brilliant and it’s unbelievably accurate, plus we’re contributing to something that we feel is required in the marketplace."
