OfferBrief

OfferBrief

You find the property.
We negotiate it.

A buy-side negotiation desk for UK residential purchases. You source the home. We set the number, the opening stance, and the conversation with the selling agent.

Generate a preview brief→Read a sample brief

You will need the listing link, asking or guide price, and full UK postcode. You get a fair-value range, opening offer logic, and red flags grounded in Land Registry sales.

How it works

You find it. We price the fight.

Estate agents act for the seller. OfferBrief acts for the buyer: evidence first, then the offer.

  1. 01

    You find the property

    Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, or an agent introduction. When a listing is worth pursuing, send us the link or the particulars.

  2. 02

    We build the negotiation brief

    HM Land Registry sold prices, asking-price context, days on market and reductions where visible, red flags, and a recommended opening offer with rationale.

  3. 03

    You decide how far we go

    Use the brief yourself with the selling agent, or instruct full negotiation support and we run the buy-side conversation to instruction.

What you get

Preview, brief, or full desk support

Three clear levels. Same method. Different depth of involvement.

Preview

  • Fair-value range from recent sold comps
  • Opening offer stance and short rationale
  • Headline red flags from the listing

Full negotiation support

We run the buy-side conversation.

Worked example

How a desk would frame the first call

Illustrative only. Figures show the method, not a live instruction on this address.

Detached house · Kent green-belt fringe

Asking £1,100,000 · Guide price · Listed several weeks with at least one reduction visible on portals

Asking
£1,100,000

Portal guide

Estimated fair range
£980k–£1.04m

36-month street and sector sales

Opening offer
£995,000

Subject to survey

Opening offer logic

Open below the midpoint of the fair range while leaving room to move. £995k signals seriousness without anchoring at asking. It sits near recent comparable sales on the same road and adjacent streets, adjusted for condition and plot.

Negotiation rationale

Asking sits above the sold cluster. Time on market and a prior reduction weaken the vendor's hold on guide. The desk would press survey and chain certainty as leverage, not emotion, and refuse to meet asking until comps or competing bids justify it.

FAQ

Straight answers

What is the difference between a preview and a brief?
The preview is the live output on this page from a listing you paste: range, stance, and flags. The negotiation brief is the full written pack (comps table, signals, angles, draft email) that a desk would work from. Full negotiation support is when we run the agent conversation for that purchase.
Do I need a postcode and asking price?
Yes for this MVP. Enter the full UK postcode and the asking or guide price with the listing link so comps and the fair band stay reliable.
Is this a valuation or a formal survey?
Neither. It is a buy-side negotiation position using sold prices and listing signals. It does not replace a RICS valuation, survey, or conveyancing advice.
Where do you cover?
England and Wales, where HM Land Registry sold price data is available.
How are fees structured?
Quoted per engagement before work starts. Fixed desk fees, not a percentage of the purchase price or of any saving. Confirm the scope (brief only vs full negotiation) when you instruct.
