How it works
Most people search for years. This takes 90 seconds.
No guesswork. No endless property-portal scrolling. Just 9 honest questions, and a report that knows your life better than any estate agent.
01
Tell us about your life
What's your budget? Do the kids need a garden? How far is too far from London? The questions that actually matter, answered in 90 seconds.
02
We search where you wouldn't
While you're Googling "best places to live near London," we're scoring 72 real markets against your exact profile. The answer is often somewhere you've never considered.
03
See your future neighbourhood
Real streets. Real schools. Real train times. A report so specific you'll feel like you've already visited. Download it, share it with your partner, it's yours.
What's in your report
Everything you need to say "this is the one."
Other tools show you houses. We show you whether a place will make you happy, with the hard data to prove it.
📈
Know if it's the right time
20 years of real Land Registry prices. See which areas bounced back strongest, which ones are peaking, and where the smart money is going next.
🏘
Down to the actual street
We don't say "Manchester." We say Didsbury for families, Ancoats for young professionals, Chorlton for the Sunday-morning-farmers-market crowd. With prices adjusted to your bedroom count.
🚂
Can I commute from here?
Bedford → St Pancras: 40 minutes, Thameslink, 4 trains an hour. The answer to the question you'll ask your partner at the kitchen table tonight.
🎓
Will my children thrive here?
"Silverdale Primary. Ofsted Outstanding. 0.4 miles from your door." Not vague promises about catchments. The actual school your child would attend.
👥
Will I fit in here?
Median age, community mix, who your neighbours would be. The question you can't answer from a property listing, answered before you make the drive.
💰
Will this make me money?
Gross rental yield for every area. Capital growth over 5, 10, 20 years. The numbers your accountant needs to say yes.
Common questions
Honest answers.
Is PrimePostcode really free? +
Yes. Genuinely, completely free. No premium version hiding behind a paywall. No "credits." The same report, whether you share your email or not. We make money when estate agents find value in what we do, not from you.
Where does the data come from? +
The same data your solicitor uses. UK Land Registry prices going back to 2004. ONS Census 2021 demographics. Ofsted school ratings. All official government sources. No guesswork, no estimates.
How is this different from a property portal? +
Property portals assume you already know where to look. You type in "Clapham" because it's the only place you know, and you miss the village 40 minutes from London with half the price and twice the garden. We fix that.
Do I need to create an account? +
No. No account, no password, no "verify your email." You click start, answer 9 questions, and your report appears. That's it.
Can I trust the recommendations? +
Every recommendation is backed by 20 years of Land Registry prices and real Ofsted ratings. No estate agent pays to appear here. No area is promoted. The algorithm doesn't care who's selling. It only cares what fits your life.
How long does it take? +
90 seconds. Genuinely. Most people finish in under two minutes, then spend half an hour reading their report because they can't stop clicking into neighbourhoods they'd never heard of.
Somewhere out there is a town that's perfect for your family.
You just haven't found it yet. 90 seconds from now, you might.

Who's moving?
This tells us how much space you need and what to prioritise: schools, lifestyle, or purely the numbers.

Us and the kids
Schools and space are everything

Minimum bedrooms required
We use this to calculate bedroom-adjusted price estimates for each area. A 5-bed in Mayfair is a fundamentally different market to a 1-bed in Ancoats.

How often do you need to get to London?
Even if you rarely go in, proximity to London is the biggest driver of long-term property values in England. Be honest. It unlocks areas most buyers discover too late.
🚆
Most days
In the office most days. Needs to be a quick run
🕐
A few days a week
I can handle a longer journey a few times a week
💻
Rarely. Once a fortnight
Mainly from home, occasional trips in

Are you open to up-and-coming areas, or do you want somewhere already established?
Be honest. Hidden gems offer better value and higher growth potential, but they're not for everyone. Established areas give you certainty.
