Whose house price have you snooped on?

Ever looked up what your boss forked out for their sprawling pad? Or checked a house price before agreeing to another date?

It’s okay. You can admit it.

And you’re in good company. Nearly 6 out of 10 people admit to secretly looking up how much someone else paid for their home.*

So why do we do it? 

Because it’s just too awkward to ask them.

Only 19% of people think it’s okay to ask what someone paid for their home.

And 65% would never admit they’d snooped on their house price on Zoopla.

So get up close and personal with our house prices. No strings attached.

Just a heads up. House price snooping doesn’t always have a happy ending.

24% of people dumped their partner after they found out their house price.

But others said it actively encouraged them to keep seeing someone. 

In fact, a third of Brits continued dating someone they weren’t that keen on.

Putting romance aside, 11% felt jealous after finding out someone’s house price.

10% of people said they respected someone more, and 9% liked them better after seeing their home’s value.

For most of us, it’s all down to seeing how our own house price is doing.

23% of people in our survey said they snooped to get a better idea of what their own home’s worth.

10% said they wanted to get ideas for renovations, and another 9% said they were looking for interiors inspo.

And some people are looking at house prices to figure out if it’s a good time to sell. 8% said they were gauging when to put their home on the market.

But some of us are just straight up curious. 18% said they wanted to see what a home looked like inside. 

While 12% said they were looking at their previous home, and wanted to see what it looks like now.
