About this app

Find your next home in the UK, and know the area before you view it. Doorwise brings the property sites and the official area data together in one place, so you can search, save and compare homes without juggling a dozen tabs.

Doorwise is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of any government agency. Official data shown in the app comes from the public sources listed at the end of this description.

SEARCH EVERY SITE AT ONCE
- Set your filters once and open the same search on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and OpenRent.
- Browse listings inside Doorwise and tap "+ Add to Doorwise" to save any home in one tap.
- Save your searches and get a daily reminder to check for new homes.

KNOW THE AREA
- Street-level crime from police.uk, compared with a London benchmark, and whether it's rising or falling.
- The nearest schools with their latest Ofsted results, filtered by primary and secondary.
- Energy Performance Certificates, including estimated yearly energy costs.
- One-tap links to flood risk, council tax, broadband, noise, air quality, sold prices and GP surgeries.

YOUR PERSONAL MATCH SCORE
- Tell Doorwise what matters most (schools, safety, commute, budget, energy) and every home gets a 0–100 match score.
- See an estimated monthly cost: rent, energy and council tax together.

DECIDE TOGETHER
- Share a home with your notes, checklist and photos as a simple link. Family and friends can open it without the app and vote thumbs up or down.
- Compare two areas side by side, or all your saved homes in one table and on a map.

VIEW LIKE A PRO
