Everything you need to know about how RenoVision works, where the data comes from, and what the results mean.
RenoVision is an AI-powered property flip analyser for UK investors. You paste any Rightmove listing URL and within 2 minutes you get a full investment report — including an A–F grade, after-repair value, renovation budget, Land Registry comparable sales, and value-add opportunities like loft conversions and extensions.
It replaces hours of manual research with a single click.
Most analyses complete in under 2 minutes (typically 60–120 seconds). The time varies depending on how many photos the listing has — we analyse up to 20 photos plus the floorplan, so a heavily photographed listing takes a little longer than one with a handful of images.
RenoVision works on UK residential properties listed on Rightmove — terraced houses, semi-detached, detached, and flats. It works best on houses where the comparable sales data is strongest and value-add opportunities are most relevant.
Flats can be analysed but the value-add section (loft, extension, garage) will typically return fewer opportunities.
The comparable sales data comes from the Land Registry, which covers England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate land registries and are not currently supported.
Within England and Wales, coverage is nationwide — including all major cities and rural areas.
All comparable sales come from the HM Land Registry Price Paid dataset — the official register of every residential property sale in England and Wales. This is the same data solicitors and mortgage lenders use.
We match comparable sales by property type, postcode area, and proximity, then adjust older sales to today's values using the Office for National Statistics House Price Index (HPI).
The Land Registry dataset is updated monthly, typically with a 4–6 week lag from the date of completion. RenoVision uses the most recently available dataset, so sales from the last month or two may not yet appear.
Older sales in the dataset are adjusted to today's market values using the ONS House Price Index, so a comp from 2023 is presented in today's money, not what it sold for at the time.
The AI (Claude by Anthropic) analyses up to 20 listing photos and the floorplan. For each room it identifies the condition — whether the kitchen is dated or modern, whether the bathroom needs replacing or just refreshing, signs of damp, roof condition visible from exterior shots, EPC indicators, and kerb appeal.
The floorplan is used to identify every room present (including bathrooms and WCs with no photos), estimate the total floor area, assess rear garden depth, and identify value-add opportunities like loft space and garage positions.
Renovation costs are estimated using real trade supply rates — Howdens for kitchens, Screwfix and B&Q Trade for materials, standard trade labour rates for each discipline. These are applied to the scope of work the AI identifies from the photos.
Every line item has a low-to-high cost range. The three scenarios (Essential, Recommended, Full) represent progressively more thorough approaches to the renovation, from the minimum needed to sell to the full cosmetic upgrade.
The grade reflects the estimated flip ROI — gross profit as a percentage of total capital deployed (purchase price + renovation + costs):
An F grade doesn't always mean the property is bad — it may mean the asking price is too high. The sensitivity table shows what you'd need to pay to reach each grade threshold.
ARV stands for After Repair Value — the estimated price the property could achieve once renovated. It's calculated by finding the most relevant comparable sales in the Land Registry, adjusting them for today's values using the HPI, and applying a condition uplift based on the renovation scope.
The ARV is the single most important number in the analysis — it sets the ceiling on how much you can afford to pay for the property and still make a profit.
Value-add opportunities are optional extras beyond the standard renovation — things like loft conversions, rear extensions, garage conversions, and en-suite additions — that could significantly lift the ARV above the standard flip target.
These are identified from the floorplan and photos and each one shows an estimated cost range, feasibility rating, and potential ARV uplift. They're shown separately from the renovation scenarios because they require more capital and planning, but they can turn an average deal into an exceptional one.
You get 5 free analyses with no credit card required. All 5 return the full report — comparable sales, value-add opportunities, renovation breakdown, negotiation pack, everything. There's no watered-down free tier.
When you run out, you can subscribe to get more.
Both plans give you exactly the same full report — there's no feature gating. The only difference is how many analyses you get per month:
Standard suits most active investors. Pro is for deal sourcers and those running high volumes.
Yes — cancel anytime from your account page with no notice period. You'll retain access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for.
No. Renovation costs are estimates based on what the AI can see in the listing photos. Hidden issues — behind-wall damp, structural problems, outdated wiring — won't be visible and won't be included. Always get a professional survey and builder quotes before committing to a purchase.
Think of the renovation budget as a starting point for your due diligence, not a final number.
RenoVision is a screening and research tool, not a substitute for professional advice. Use it to quickly filter opportunities and arrive at viewings better prepared — with a clear sense of what the deal is worth and what it'll cost to renovate.
Before exchanging contracts, always conduct a full survey, get at least two builder quotes, and take legal and financial advice.
In areas with fewer transactions — rural locations or very niche property types — the comparable sales pool may be small. RenoVision will tell you how many comps it found and how wide it had to cast the net to find them.
A smaller comp set means lower confidence in the ARV. In these cases treat the ARV as a broad guide and do additional local research before proceeding.
