Zoopla House Price Alternative
March 15 2023
Zoopla and Rightmove are the best known property listing websites and common port of call for people seeking more information. However there are alternatives!
The rise of the portals for property data

Rightmove and Zoopla offer a range of free-to-use applications and services that provide insights into property data, including an instant online valuation application and information on historic sold prices. As a result, they have become a widely trusted source of information for anyone looking to engage in the property market.

In this article, we will explore the free-to-use applications provided by Bricks&Logic as an alternative to the more established platforms.

Instant online valuation

The instant online valuation application is one of the most frequently used applications by the public on Zoopla, as it provides a current estimated value of a property.

 At Bricks&Logic, we also offer a similar application that provides an instant estimate of your property's value. However, the key difference is that our application is not a black box. We provide you with the assumptions we've made about your property to determine its value, and we allow you to adjust these assumptions, with our values updating accordingly. Another feature of the Bricks&Logic application is the ability to track how your property has performed over time. 

This is made possible by our unique approach to house price indices.

See Fig. 01.

The Bricks&Logic House Price Heat Map

One of the most confusing aspects of the property market is understanding how prices are moving. 

Often, there is a lot of conflicting data or broad-brush statements such as "house prices across the UK are up by £25,000 in the last year." However, the reality is that the housing market is actually made up of thousands of small markets, and these pieces of analysis are not very useful when all you care about is what is happening to the price of your own home. 

Earlier, we mentioned our market-leading indices, which enable us to create a property-level index. Combining this with Bricks&Logic's Digital Twin for every property, we have been able to create a heat map that allows for analysis of trends within the market like never before.

Conclusion

Zoopla has established itself as a trusted source of property data and insights through its range of free-to-use applications and services. 

However, Bricks&Logic offers an alternative with its own instant valuation application that allows users to adjust assumptions and track their property's performance over time. 

With the housing market being made up of thousands of small markets, the ability to analyse trends within specific markets is crucial.

Bricks&Logic's unique approach to house price indices allows for this analysis. 

As the property market continues to evolve, these applications and insights will be essential for home buyers, renters, and property professionals alike.
