PicAHome featured in MoneySavingExpert's house buying guides

PicAHome has been included in two of MoneySavingExpert’s house buying guides as a free tool for researching house prices and property information.

MoneySavingExpert’s guide to checking house prices lists free ways to find out what homes have sold for, and its guide to finding a property for sale covers how to search for and research homes. PicAHome is included in both as one of the free tools people can use.

• Free house price checks guide
• Finding a property for sale guide

The inclusion is editorial coverage rather than an endorsement, recommendation or commercial partnership. We have not paid for the listing and MoneySavingExpert has no involvement in PicAHome.

What PicAHome does

PicAHome lets you point your phone camera at a property to identify the home and bring useful property information together in one place. That includes information relevant to anyone researching a home, such as previous sold prices and other available property details. If you would rather not use the camera, you can search by postcode instead.

• Point your camera at a home, or search by postcode
• See previous sold prices and available property information
• Save the homes you have looked at in My Pics
• Free to use, currently covering England and Wales

Why people use it when house hunting

Most property research happens at a desk, after the fact, once you have remembered an address. PicAHome is built for the moment you are actually standing in front of a house or walking a street you are curious about. Our blog covers the same ground in more depth, from how to find out how much a house sold for to researching an area before buying.

Where the information comes from

Sold prices come from HM Land Registry and cover England and Wales. They are published two to three months after a sale completes, so a very recent sale may not appear yet. PicAHome is for general information and does not provide valuations — see our terms of use for the detail.

Try PicAHome yourself

PicAHome is free to download on iPhone and Android. Point it at a home you are curious about, or type in a postcode, and see what is on record.
