Decide together

Decide together with the Together tab
Buying with a partner? Share your report via a link. You each rate every section independently (positive, neutral, or negative) and Groundwerk shows where you agree and where you don't. No more endless debates based on gut feeling. Just the facts, assessed by two pairs of eyes.

Bid Scenarios
You are never really tracking one
Your shortlist keeps moving: one drops out, another appears, and by the third you have forgotten why you liked it. The Property Tracker holds the whole search — viewing planned through to won, with bid history, side-by-side comparison and synthesis across the shortlist.
Groundwerk property comparison — which one is worth fighting for? — available with the Search Pass.
Know your budget before you fall in love
Our free mortgage calculator tells you your maximum mortgage, NHG (government mortgage guarantee) eligibility and all-in monthly costs — before you walk through the door.
The report is where it starts, not where it ends
A report tells you what is going on with one house. The rest of Groundwerk carries you through the months after that: neighbourhood research, document analysis, capturing viewings and deciding together.
