Comparable sales information helps you position your target property in current market conditions. By default, the search results will include property sold in the last 6 months, and sorted by distance to your target property.
There are 3 main sections in this step:
Image 1: 'Refining your search' section within the 'Comparable Sales' tab
Image 2: Selecting comparable sales and search results within the 'Comparable Sales' tab
Filter your search results by changing the criteria available in the Refine your search panel.

Tip
Your search results may be limited if you apply too many filters at once. We recommend that you start with a broad search and add your filters gradually to narrow your results.
Scroll down to the search results and tick the checkbox that is next to the property address to select a comparable sale.

Add notes against a comparable property to demonstrate your local area or property knowledge. You can customise the title for your notes. This title will apply to all properties so we recommend using something that is not specific to a property. For example: My Notes or Property Highlights.
Your note may contain up to 400 characters.
