Question 1

Where should I look once the obvious areas are too expensive?

Accepted Answer

Set your budget, property type, floor area, commute, schools, crime, noise, broadband, parks, and other must-haves. The map removes postcodes that fail those tests, so overlooked areas can surface before you start searching listings.

Question 2

What should I do when my search returns too many or too few areas?

Accepted Answer

Start with hard limits, then colour the map by a trade-off such as price per sqm, road noise, school score, or commute time. If the map gets too narrow, relax one slider and you can see exactly which compromise opens up more options.

Question 3

How are the travel times calculated?

Accepted Answer

Travel times are precomputed with Conveyal R5, a routing engine used for transport analysis. For each supported destination we route to reachable postcodes over the street and transit network, then store sparse postcode travel-time files for car, cycling, walking, and public transport.

Question 4

How does the estimated current price algorithm work?

Accepted Answer

The estimate starts with the last HM Land Registry sale price, adjusts it to current-market terms using repeat-sales modelling and fallback models, then blends that result with a nearest-neighbour estimate from nearby, recently sold, same-type homes.

Question 5

Should I use this before or after checking Rightmove?

Accepted Answer

Use Perfect Postcode before and alongside listing portals. Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket are still where you check live availability, photos, agent contact, viewings, and alerts.
