You've found the property — to buy or to rent. You just can't keep making the trip. We attend on your behalf and tell you honestly what's there.

You're entering a new market and need to know if the property suits the buyer or tenant you're trying to attract. We give you exactly that.

who is this for?

distance buyer or renter

You’re about to settle. Not because it’s right. Because you can’t keep making the trip.

investors and developers

The numbers look right. But you haven’t seen the property, the street, or what’s three doors down.

International buyers and relocators

You've found the property, but you don’t know the area or who to trust.

You're moving to the UK and navigating an unfamiliar property market. We give you the honest ground-level intelligence you can't get remotely.

Malaika Scotney founder of Eyes on the Ground property viewing and intelligence service Hastings East Sussex

Why I created eyes on the ground

After viewing countless properties and walking streets through a developer's lens, it became clear that honest, independent intelligence was the one thing consistently missing from the property process.

Nobody was truly working for the buyer. Eyes on the Ground exists to change that.
