The AX score

One number. The whole picture.

The AX score turns a long list of trade-offs into a single 0–100 number — personalized to what you actually care about — so you can sort, filter, and quickly spot the listings worth your weekend.

How it's built

Four things that actually matter.

Every flat is looked at through the same four lenses. The score is what comes out when you put them together.

Amenities

What's actually in the flat and what you'll have on your doorstep.

  • Appliances & outdoor space
  • Storage, parking, lift
  • Your must-haves
Location

How well the area matches the way you want to live.

  • Walkability & transport
  • Green space, food, nightlife
  • The traits you pick
Affordability

The full true monthly cost, not just the headline rent.

  • Rent vs comparable flats
  • Council tax band
  • Estimated bills
Size

Whether you're actually getting room to live for the price.

  • Floor area
  • Bedrooms
  • Price per square foot
Personalized

Tuned to what you actually care about.

There's no such thing as an objectively good flat. The AX score adapts to you in two ways — so the same listing can be an 88 for one person and a 62 for another, and both are right.

Must-have amenities

Tick the things you'd refuse to live without — dishwasher, balcony, bike storage, lift, washing machine, garden. Flats that hit your must-haves climb; flats that miss them slip.

Location traits

Pick up to three things that make an area work for you — walkable, green, well-connected, lively, quiet, safe. The location pillar reflects just those traits, so you stop getting penalized for things you don't care about.

Generally good but with a weak spot — usually price, size, or one of your traits.

< 60
Probably not for you

Misses too many of your priorities. Worth a glance, rarely worth a Saturday.
