The panel favours House A

The panel favours Property A

House A scores highest overall for these priorities, driven by price against the local per-square-foot norm (~24% below) and a steadier resale outlook. House B remains stronger for newest stock, warranty cover and developer incentives — the gap narrows, but the numbers hold.

The panel

Seven decision domains

01.

The Numbers

Price against the local per-square-foot distribution, recent comparable sales, running costs and the five-year outlook with every assumption written down.

02.

The Commute

Journey time door to door, changes and frequency, driving time at peak, and the estimated annual cost and hours of travelling.

03.

The Community

Everyday errands and green space, plus the nearest GP surgery, NHS dentist and vet, each with distance, walking time and the bus or train options from the door.

04.

The Schools

Nearest primary and secondary schools with exam and test results, latest inspection outcome and date, and published school finances.

05.

The Risk

Flood ratings for the exact address (rivers and sea, and surface water), crime in context, planning applications and permitted development nearby, and environmental checks.

06.

The Lifestyle

Walkability, broadband speeds and full-fibre availability, mobile coverage by network, parking and charging.

07.

Your Priorities

What matters most to you and how heavily each domain counts — the panel is weighted to your decision, not an average buyer's.

08.

The panel's recommendation

Which home the panel favours and why, plus where each of the others is stronger, 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 is the report produced, and how fast?
It's produced automatically. Our system pulls live figures straight from official and regulated sources through their published interfaces, applies the same scoring method every time, and writes the report. Every report then goes through an automated quality gate that checks coverage, missing figures and whether the recommendation is safe to state. Most reports pass and arrive in minutes. If one fails the gate, a person checks it before it goes out — so in some cases allow up to 48 hours for delivery.
Where does the report come from?
Every figure is pulled from official public sources — Land Registry, Environment Agency, Police.uk, the EPC Register, the school performance tables, ONS — and compared using the same method every time, so the same shortlist always gives the same figures. Read why House Tiebreaker exists.
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 think a figure is wrong?
If any figure in your report is factually incorrect against its stated source, tell us and we'll correct it or refund you in full. The panel itself is a judgement call on the evidence — we stand behind the accuracy of what went into it, not behind you agreeing with where it lands. The evidence is yours to keep either way.
Where do you cover?
England & Wales only.
I'm renting, not buying — can I use this?
Yes — we make rental panels too: is the rent fair for the area, should you challenge an increase, which flat wins. See the renters page.
