Sharing a property
Generate a read-only link to a property's cost breakdown, no account required to view it.
Buying a first home rarely happens in isolation. There is usually a parent or two keeping half an eye on things, maybe the bank of mum and dad quietly involved in the deposit, or a friend you trust enough to sanity-check a big decision with. Sharing a property gives you a proper, professional-looking cost breakdown to send them, rather than a screenshot of a spreadsheet or a garbled explanation over text.
What a viewer sees
Whoever opens the link sees a read-only breakdown of that property, with no account or sign-in required on their end. Before you send one, it is worth being clear about exactly what is on that page, because it is more than just the property.
They see the property itself, meaning its title and price, the bedrooms and bathrooms, the council tax band and postcode, a link back to the original listing, and the full monthly breakdown of mortgage, council tax and bills. They also see the following about you, and about your linked partner if you have one.
- Your first names.
- Your monthly take-home pay.
- Your share of the costs, and the split percentage between you.
- Every one of your monthly commitments, itemised by name and amount, so a car loan or a credit card is listed individually rather than rolled into a total.
- What each of you would have left over each month.
Read this before you send one
In other words, a share link exposes your salary and your debts, by name, to whoever holds it. That is genuinely useful when you are showing a parent helping with a deposit exactly where you stand, which is what the feature is for, but it is not the sort of link to drop into a group chat.
The link is a long, randomly generated code, so nobody is going to stumble onto it by chance, and the page is hidden from search engines. It is not password protected though, and it cannot be withdrawn once sent, as covered below. Treat it the way you would treat handing someone a copy of your bank statement, and send it only to people you actually mean to.
Link expiry
A share link stays valid for 7 days, then stops working on its own. Whoever opens it sees a live countdown ticking down to the exact minute it expires, so it is always obvious how much longer it is good for.
It shows live figures the whole time, rather than a frozen snapshot from the moment you sent it. Edit the property’s price or bills afterwards and the link does not break, whoever holds it simply sees the updated numbers next time they open it.
There is no way to revoke a link. Once sent, it works for its full 7 days, and there is no button anywhere to cancel it early. If you have sent one to the wrong person, your only real options are to change the figures behind it (see below) or to delete the property entirely.
Hitting share again on the same property does not by itself produce a new link. If nothing has changed you get the identical link back and the app says as much. A fresh one is only minted when the underlying financialfigures have moved since you last shared, and at that moment the previous link is quietly retired and stops working. Worth knowing that those figures include your own income, deposit, commitments and split rather than only the property’s price and bills, so updating your take-home pay in your profile is enough to kill an old link the next time you share that property. Changing the title alone will not.
