Before you buy, know what you still need to check.
Home Compass helps you analyse a property step by step — asking price, risks, costs, unknowns and what to verify before you offer.
You're about to spend more than you ever have. Take ten minutes first to understand the house behind the photos: what could go wrong, what it could cost you later and which questions to answer before you make an offer.
Understand the house behind the photos: the risks, the costs and the questions to answer before you make an offer.

The framework, step by step
What it makes you examine — before you commit
- Property→ What does the listing actually tell me?
- Risks→ What deserves further investigation?
- Costs→ What could I be overlooking?
- Value→ What am I assuming about the asking price?
- Questions→ What should I ask the agent or seller?
- Negotiation→ What information strengthens my position?
- Decision→ What do I still need to know?
See your property analysis before you buy.
A fictional example report: an indicative range and offer scenarios based only on the details a buyer enters, plus risk flags, cost ranges and questions. Not a valuation, survey, advice or guaranteed outcome.
Several price and condition assumptions need independent checking before deciding whether to offer.
- CriticalExtension may exceed 2016 boundary rules
Verify the Building Control certificate. Unconsented retrofit: est. $8–14k.
- ImportantRoof at end of life
Budget an estimated $11–16k for re-slating within five years.
- Is there a Building Control certificate for the extension?
- When was the roof last inspected, and by whom?
“It felt right. The agent said others were interested. We offered asking to be safe.”
- Ranked risks with indicative costs
- Opening, middle and boundary scenarios to compare
- Specific questions that shift the negotiation
- A confidence rating on every finding
- A written rationale if you decide to walk

Which side of the decision are you on?
One framework for challenging your next purchase. One for preparing your sale.
The property journey is becoming more self-service.
More people research, compare and prepare their own property decisions than ever before. AI makes it easier to do more yourself.
But access to information is not the same as good judgement. The hard part is knowing which questions to ask — and which answers deserve a second look.
Home Compass gives you the framework to do that systematically, whichever AI assistant you already use.
Everything that matters before you make an offer.
A practical decision-support report — not a valuation, and never a substitute for a qualified professional.
A ranked register of what may need investigation — structure, damp, roof, tenure and environment — with indicative cost ranges.
A clear view of the assumptions behind the price and what you should verify before you offer.
The signals in the listing that can shift the conversation: time on market, price history and seller position.
Opening, target and personal-limit scenarios based on the figures you enter. You decide your own position; this is not bidding advice.
A practical question list that surfaces what the listing quietly leaves out.
One framework. Every property you ever consider.
Analyse a propertyA beautiful listing can hide expensive problems.
A small mistake in a property purchase can cost tens of thousands. A roof with five years left. A lease with a ground-rent clause. A flood map redrawn last winter. All routine — all routinely missed on a twenty-five minute viewing.
Home Compass helps you slow the decision down before you speed the commitment up. It won't tell you what to buy. It helps you see what to look at, what to ask and what to verify.
Decision support only. Not a survey, valuation, or legal advice.
Not a cold AI question. A property decision system.
A generic AI prompt gives you an opinion. Home Compass gives you a repeatable analysis of the property, its risks, costs, price assumptions and negotiation position.
“Is this a good house?”
- A different answer every time you ask
- No risk register, no costs, no ranking
- A price opinion with nothing behind it
- Nothing to bring to a negotiation
A structured sequence of questions and perspectives designed to help you examine the property more critically.
- Structured analysis, in the same order, every time
- Multiple decision dimensions, not one opinion
- Risk identification with indicative costs
- A structured way to test the asking price
- A negotiation framework with leverage points
- Your own limit, thought through before the viewing
- Questions written for the agent, not for you
- A repeatable methodology across every property

A Funda listing in Utrecht. A terrace in London. A villa on the coast.
Home Compass structures the questions that matter before you make an offer — whatever the market, whatever the currency. Local rules, tenure types and taxes still need a local professional; the framework tells you which of them to go and ask.

The paid framework runs in your own AI assistant; what you paste there is not sent to Home Compass. The optional online app does store what you enter there.
Consumers can submit an online withdrawal request within 14 days. Payment or immediate access alone does not automatically end that period.
Home Compass is decision support. It does not replace a surveyor, inspector, valuer, solicitor or mortgage adviser.
The things buyers ask before they buy.
Yes — and deliberately so. It is a structured framework you paste into the AI assistant you already use. What you are buying is the methodology: the order of the questions, the risk categories, the value assumptions to challenge and the negotiation structure, so every property you look at is examined the same way. Asking ChatGPT 'is this a good house?' gives you a paragraph. Home Compass gives you a repeatable way to think.
Don't buy blind.
Before you make an offer, know what you need to know.
