Area360 is the UK’s comprehensive property and area insights tool, designed to empower property buyers, renters, and researchers with transparent, accurate data. We believe everyone deserves access to reliable information when making one of life’s most important decisions - choosing where to live.
As someone navigating London’s complex property market, I found myself spending countless hours researching neighbourhoods, cross-referencing crime statistics, checking school ratings, and calculating commute times. The information was scattered across dozens of government websites, often presented in formats that were difficult to interpret.
I created Area360 as a personal project to solve this problem - bringing together all the essential data points into one seamless experience. What started as a tool for my own property search has grown into a resource trusted by thousands across the UK.
Area360 exclusively uses official, authoritative data sources to ensure accuracy and reliability:
All data undergoes multi-step quality checks—duplicate removal, geo-validation, and range-anomaly detection—before it appears in the extension or on the website.
Unlike property portals that focus solely on listings, or area guides that provide general overviews, Area360 combines:
Area360 is completely free to use and not funded by advertisers or affiliates. There is no hidden agenda, and no push toward any particular listing or agency.
We believe access to high-quality data should not be limited to professionals — every buyer or renter deserves to make informed choices.
Area360 is developed and maintained by a software engineer with over a decade of experience in data analysis and web development. Having personally experienced the challenges of property hunting in London, I’m passionate about democratising access to property data.
The project combines my technical expertise with firsthand experience of the UK property market, ensuring the tool addresses real user needs with practical solutions.
A really nice Chrome extension which is helping me with my next house search. Really simple to use, good design and uncomplicated functionality. I have tried a few similar extensions but this is the only one that I have liked. I look forward to seeing how this develops over time and to see which property portals/platforms it will work with.

Impressive - having data such as crime stats, income level, days on market etc so easily viewable is very useful. Adding price change history would make the extension even better but I am most grateful for what is offered.

Excellent extension. Huge labour and time saver when house hunting via Rightmove. Provides an easy to understand overview of many important background information considerations for individual listed properties in a single information panel - with direct links to even more detail and without the faff of having to search multiple external information sites. Brilliant.

Wow, this Chrome extension transforms property searches. If/when we move, it will be further afield i.e. plenty of unknowns. Areas that seemed good before now have question marks. This would have come out in due diligence but this is a big time saver.

A ridiculously useful extension for flat hunting. Excellent UI and good informatics all round. 10/10
