How it works

Whether you're looking for your next home or trying to find the right buyers — idratherbe makes it effortless.

For home seekers (free)

Step 1

Sign up free

Create your idratherbe account in seconds. It's completely free for home seekers — buyers and renters.

Step 2

Tell us about your life

Our friendly onboarding walks you through setting your preferences — not just bedrooms and budget, but commute time, school needs, neighbourhood feel, broadband speed, and 30+ lifestyle factors.

Step 3

AI reads your life

idratherbe's AI reads everything you've told us about your life and reasons over homes listed directly by trusted Estate Agents — scoring each on how well it fits YOU, not just filters.

Step 4

Get matched homes

More signal, less scrolling. Your matched homes feed ranks homes by how well they fit YOUR life, and new matches land in your daily digest — each with an idratherbe Score and exactly why it matched: "8 min walk to station ✓", "Outstanding school nearby ✓", "Quiet street ✓".

Matching, with receipts

A score is useful. Knowing why is better.

The idratherbe Score makes the invisible trade-offs visible. See the strong fits, the gentle compromises, and the details worth asking about — before you spend your evening on a viewing. Every match comes with a clear, AI-generated explanation, not just a mysterious number.

For Estate Agents

Step 1

We bring you matched buyers

idratherbe's AI reads each seeker's life and puts your homes in front of the people they genuinely fit — across the whole market. Each of your listings shows how many matched seekers are looking for exactly that home.

Step 2

Add your homes free

Sign up as an Estate Agent and add your homes to idratherbe for free — send the same property feed you already give the major portals, or add listings directly. No subscription, no upfront cost.

Step 3

Free to list

Listing, enquiries and viewings are all free.

Step 4

See what viewers really think

When seekers view your homes they tell idratherbe what landed and what didn't. You see it as an anonymised signal — the patterns, never who said it — so you learn what buyers and renters actually want. A dislike only mutes that home for that one seeker; it never takes it off the market. Every enquiry still comes from someone whose life already fits, and all communication stays within idratherbe — GDPR-compliant by design.
