Find pre-market homes in London
HomePinr is a UK pre-market property platform. In London, you can record interest in the homes and streets you’d genuinely like to live on — even if nothing there is for sale yet — and homeowners can claim their property and see that interest.
From “London” to a street you’d actually live on
“London” is a big search. Most people end up wanting somewhere much more specific: a few streets near their work, a park, family or a particular station. HomePinr works best once you’ve narrowed it down to particular homes and streets. You can start with those places, alongside searching for homes already on the market.
Neighbourhoods, boroughs and postcodes aren’t the same thing
Boroughs are council areas. Greater London is made up of 32 London boroughs plus the City of London.
Neighbourhood names such as Angel, Canonbury and Bow describe local areas. Their boundaries can be informal and do not necessarily match borough or postcode boundaries.
Postcode districts such as N1 or E3 are Royal Mail delivery areas. They don’t line up exactly with boroughs or neighbourhoods.
HomePinr lets you pin homes and streets, not whole boroughs or postcodes. Search for the exact address or street you mean.
Narrowing your search to particular streets
- Start with your daily life. Think about where you’ll travel to most often, then look at the neighbourhoods around it.
- Use a park as your anchor. For example, search around Victoria Park, then look at specific nearby streets. Check each address rather than assuming all surrounding streets share the same borough or postcode.
- Choose the actual street. For example, Duncan Terrace in Islington (N1) is a street of late Georgian and early Victorian terraces near the Regent’s Canal.
- Check the name and postcode. Many London street names appear in more than one borough, so make sure the street you pin is the one you mean.
- Pin places you would genuinely consider, and update your pins as your plans change.
These areas are examples of how to search. They don’t mean anyone has pinned or claimed homes there.
For buyers: search the map and pin
Search any UK address, street or postcode, then pin a single home or a whole street on the map — whether or not anything there is currently for sale. Your pins record your interest.
If your pin overlaps with a claimed property, you can be notified—whether the buyer pins first or the homeowner claims first.
For London homeowners: claim your property
Claim your property on HomePinr to see buyer interest that has been recorded for your home and your street.
Claiming is a self-declaration: HomePinr does not currently check ownership independently. Each property can only be claimed once.
When interest and a claim overlap
A match happens when a buyer’s pinned home or street overlaps with a claimed property, in either order. Both sides can be notified, and a conversation can begin through HomePinr’s messaging. Buyers are shown to homeowners with general labels rather than their names.
Claiming isn’t a decision to sell
Claiming a property does not mean the homeowner has decided to sell. A match doesn’t guarantee a reply, a viewing, a sale or a purchase.
Works alongside your usual property search
Keep using property portals and estate agents for homes already on the market. HomePinr gives you another way to show interest in specific homes and streets before they are listed.
