Terraced street of Victorian houses at dusk, front doors lit and warm
Independent Property Intelligence

Know what you're buying,
before you commit to
finding out.

A Threshold Intelligence Buyer Intelligence Report gives you a rigorous, address-specific assessment of every factor that shapes life at that property. Schools. Transport. Crime. Planning risk. Green space.

No agent. No agenda.

The moment everything changes

Four viewings that were
not quite right. And now
this might be the one.

The mortgage is possible. The commute works. The garden is close to what you imagined. And then the questions start.

What are the schools actually like? Is this a safe area? What's changing nearby that you'd never spot from the listing photos? Will you still love it in ten years?

These aren't small questions, and another viewing rarely settles them. Most of us do more research before buying a car than we do before buying a home, even though the home is, by some distance, the bigger decision.

We think that's the wrong way round.

The Threshold Area Score

One number. Six weighted
dimensions. Nothing invented.

Every report scores a property's location from 0 to 100 across six dimensions, weighted by how much each one actually shapes a buyer's decision. We then take a small discount off the total and show our working, because a score like this is a considered judgement, not something read off a dial.

The same street scores
differently for different buyers.

Have a go: drag the sliders below, or switch the buyer archetype, and watch the verdict shift in real time. These are illustrative scores, not a real property, so nothing here touches an actual report. The facts stay fixed. Only the weighting moves.

Weight and contribution update live as you change the buyer archetype. The dimension scores only move when you move them.

Not a summary. A dossier.

20 pages. 14 of them
about this address alone.

Six pages cover the Area Score, your property summary, the Decision Summary and the Quick Reference. The other fourteen belong to this address specifically: schools, transport, crime, amenities, green space and neighbourhood risk, researched and checked for the property you're actually considering, not a generic template with your postcode dropped in.

Digital copies arrive within 24 hours. If you'd like the printed keepsake edition shown here, just ask when you order. It follows shortly after.

Proof of rigour

We would rather flag a gap
than guess at a fact.

Every data point in a report is sourced from a named public dataset: Ofsted, data.police.uk, the Environment Agency, the EPC register, local authority planning portals, and rail operator timetables. When something can't be verified, we say so plainly. We don't round it, smooth it over, or quietly fill it in.

Named sources, every time

Every claim in a report traces back to the specific public dataset it came from, listed at the back of the document.

Gaps flagged, not filled

Some government sources, including the EPC register and most council tax lookups, simply won't allow automated access. We check these by hand, or mark them unverified if we can't.

The discount, shown

We apply a small calibration discount, 2 to 3 points, to every Area Score, and we state it in the report. It's a reminder that the number is a considered estimate, not a measurement.

Who this is for

The same report, read
differently by every buyer.

A Buyer Match Score re-weights the same six dimensions around what actually matters to you. A few of the archetypes we score against:

Family

The Grammar School Chaser

The school decision comes first. Weighted 45% to schools alone.

Professional

The London Leaver

Space and safety, without losing a commute that actually works.

Lifestyle

The Sailing and Water Buyer

Waterside access outweighs nearly everything else.

In development

Investors

We haven't built this weighting yet. We'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.

No agent. No agenda.

We have no listing to sell and no commission riding on your decision. Just the same rigour a structural survey applies, aimed at the question a survey never answers: what it's actually like to live here.
