Tracking property viewings in London
House hunting in London is uniquely brutal: high prices, fast sales and dozens of agents who all want you on their list. Tracking everything in one place is not optional — it is survival.
Typical prices and tenure
Asking prices vary wildly by zone and postcode. Zone 2 flats commonly start above £400k; family homes in zones 3–6 sit in the £550k–£950k range. Most central flats are leasehold; outer-borough houses tend to be freehold. Always check leasehold years remaining before offering.
Three things specific to London
Watch the lease length
Anything below 80 years remaining starts to seriously affect mortgageability and price. Always ask the agent for the exact remaining term, in writing, on the day of viewing.
Travel time, not distance
Two postcodes 1 mile apart can have wildly different commutes. Use Citymapper at the time of day you would actually travel, not just at midday.
Conservation areas and Article 4 directions
Many London neighbourhoods restrict what you can change externally. Confirm any restrictions before falling in love with the idea of new windows or a loft conversion.
How SeenHouse helps in London
House hunting in London typically means juggling viewings across several different agents and neighbourhoods, often within a tight window. SeenHouse keeps every property, every score and every photo in one place on your phone — so by the time you have seen ten homes, you have a ranked shortlist instead of a mess of camera-roll photos and half-remembered notes.
