Rightmove shows you everything. PropertySieve shows you what’s worth your time.
It works inside Rightmove and OnTheMarket on your computer: it hides the homes that don’t fit, remembers every one you’ve seen, and tells you what the listing leaves out.
Only see homes that fit your must-haves
Remembers every home and every price it’s been
The facts the listing leaves out Plus
Know if the asking price is fair Plus
Your shortlist watches itself
New homes come straight to you
Finding homes
Spend your evenings on homes that could work, not scrolling past ones that can’t.
Keywords that actually filter Free
No more scrolling past homes without the garage you asked for.
Never see a dealbreaker again Free
Leasehold, no garden, the wrong side of town: ruled out on every search, automatically.
Best matches first Free
Tell it what matters most and the best fits rise to the top.
Page 12, brought to page 1 Free
Every page of results is checked, so you see the real number of homes that fit.
Spot the catch early Free
Short leases, auctions, shared ownership and cash-only sales are flagged before you fall for them.
How far from your life? Free
Drive, walk or cycle times to work, school or family on every home, and rule out anything too far. Directions work straight away; times need a free routing key.
Filter by the facts Plus
Energy rating, size and price per sq ft, so you can rule out flood zones and short leases.
Judging a home
Open any listing and see what the agent’s page doesn’t show.
Every price, remembered Free
See every price it’s been, even the ones the listing has since dropped.
Other buyers’ sightings Free
Price changes spotted by other PropertySieve users, even before you found the home.
Caught relisting Free
When a home comes back as a “new” listing, see when it really first went on sale, and at what price.
See what the agent changed Free
“Garage” removed? “No chain” added? You’ll know.
What it sold for last time Plus
Every past sale of that house, from Land Registry.
Is the price fair? Plus
Its price per sq ft against similar homes sold nearby, with the sales shown.
Size and energy rating Plus
From the official certificate, even when the listing leaves them out.
What’s around it Plus
Flood risk, broadband, and planning applications near the homes on your shortlist.
Read between the lines Plus
“Would benefit from updating” turned into a plain condition rating.
Lease and charges, upfront Free
Years left on the lease, ground rent and service charge, with a warning when it’s short.
Keeping track
Shortlist a home and PropertySieve keeps an eye on it while Chrome’s open, and brings new ones to you.
Your shortlist watches itself Free
- Told, not refreshing. A price drop, under offer, sold STC or back on the market arrives as a notification on your computer.
- Every home’s story at a glance. Its price changes, time on the market and journey times, with your own notes.
- Sorted your way. Biggest price drop, best value, or shortest journey to work.
- See how it ended. Months later, what it actually sold for, once Land Registry records it.
New homes come straight to you Free
- Save a search once. PropertySieve checks it every 30 minutes while Chrome’s open.
- Only the ones that fit. New listings go through your rules first, so you’re not pinged about homes you’d never buy.
- Keep or bin in one click. Each one waits in New homes until you shortlist it or say “not for me”.
No account. Your shortlist stays on your computer. House facts are looked up anonymously, and you can back everything up whenever you like.
Also included: Rightmove filters set once for every search, a sieve that stays on until you reset it, your recent and saved searches, Rightmove’s heart saving to your shortlist, weekly backups, and a one-click bug report.
Coming soon
Free
- Your shortlist on your phone. A free app for iPhone and Android, synced with your computer and encrypted so we can’t read it.
- Photos and comments from viewings. Snap the damp patch or the view, tag it to the home, and see it on your computer later.
- Nearest school and its rating on every home.
Plus
- What it costs to run. Yearly energy bills, how it’s built and how it’s heated, with rules like “no oil heating”.
- Cheaper on the other site? When the same home is listed for less on OnTheMarket or Rightmove.
- What’s coming nearby. New housing estates, wind and solar farms and big roads planned near the home.
- Schools in depth. Every nearby school, and rules like “within a mile of an Outstanding primary”.
- Your offer brief. Everything you need to make an offer on one page, with a suggested price range.
- Email alerts for your shortlist, journey times without a routing key, and house hunting together across several computers.
