Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an existing homeowner or an investor, it’s safe to say that navigating the housing market can be a daunting process. And it’s especially tough without a source of expertise.

Let’s say you’re about to invest in a property and there’s a small planning notice in the field opposite that you didn’t spot. A worst-case scenario is that you could find yourself with a new home next to a budding power-plant or wind farm. Okay… perhaps the example is a little extreme. But the point is this: it's super important to be thorough with your research to ensure there are no hidden issues.

That’s where Nokkel comes in. Our mobile app enables you to view a consolidated set of publicly available information about any UK residential property. Essentially, we’re the well-informed companion ‘in the know’ to assist on your house hunt.

Stop searching. Start finding.

Once you’ve determined your budget, start to consider features you want to look for in your next property and create a list of preferences and non-negotiables.

Is a garden a priority for you? How many bedrooms do you need? Do you require somewhere secure to park your car? As one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll ever make in your lifetime, it’s worth taking into consideration what your property needs and wants are.

After you’ve found a property on Nokkel, we’ll provide a summarised list of attributes on its very own property profile. From an estimated valuation, to the number of beds, baths and available floor space; you’ll find a catalogue of information about a home that you can use to build a more holistic view of a property. And before you take a look in person, we’ll include an exterior photograph of the home so you can be the judge of its curb appeal.

Like what you see? Jot down any notes you have on the app and add it to a Nokkel wishlist of properties you love. Whether it's on or off the market, we’ll alert you when it’s available for purchase.

Look for the finer details...

Be sure to account for the finer details; you’ll need to consider your own lifestyle needs in the present, past and future.

The majority of people spend less than half an hour viewing a property, which is hardly enough time to ensure you’re aware of everything that a home has to offer and what it could be hiding. So before making a formal offer, it’s worth investigating the local area.

On the Nokkel app you can find a wealth of information that will help you investigate the local area. By clicking on a property profile, you can see how much there’s to upgrade in the property in order to add value or save on energy bills by navigating to the EPC section. Also, you can examine a plethora of nearby amenities within walking distance. For example recreation & green spaces, local transport options, and much more. These functions ensure that you’re aware of everything a property has to offer and help paint a clearer portrait of how a potential property will fit into your style of living.

Turn your dreams into a reality

Let’s face it, compromising on certain property attributes in lieu of higher priority features is a reality for most on a house hunt. That’s why it’s worth asking - if the current state of a property is not your ideal, is it possible to maximise its potential?

We think it’s important to continuously evolve our thinking about how we own and manage property and essentially track its value like any other financial asset. For these reasons, it’s become a focus for us at Nokkel to allow our users to keep current and up-to-date information about their homes, updating valuations in real-time as you positively impact the value of your property portfolio.
