Your shortlist and viewing statuses

You will find Shortlist in the sidebar on desktop, and as the heart tab in the bottom bar on your phone. Every property you have added lives here, and if you have linked a partner, theirs do too, so the two of you are always looking at the same list.

Each card is built to be judged at a glance.

• A map of the exact location. Every card opens with a small map centred on the property’s pin, so “the one near the park” and “the one on the main road” stay distinguishable without opening anything.
• Price and score together. The asking price sits next to the property’s suitability score, so cost and fit are read in the same glance, along with bedroom and bathroom counts.
• The status pill. Sitting on the map corner of every card, covered in the next section.
• Who added it. The card’s coloured edge follows the same rule as everywhere else in the app, so purple is yours and teal is your partner’s.
• Two ways out. “View on map” opens the full property panel, and the corner icon opens the original listing if you saved one.

The dashboard keeps a one-line summary of the same information, showing how many properties you are tracking and how many sit at each status, and it links straight back to this page.

A status is a single tag on a property recording where you are with it in the real world. There are five of them, following the journey a property actually takes during a hunt.

• Viewing booked, you have arranged to see it.
• Viewed, you have seen it and are still digesting.
• Interested, it survived the viewing and is in real contention.
• Not interested, it is out of the running.
• Offer made, you have put an offer in.

To set one, tap the pill on any shortlist card and pick from the menu. The same pill appears in the property panel on the map, in both the quick view and the full view, so you can update a status wherever you happen to be when the estate agent calls back. A property starts with no status at all; a quiet “Set status” pill invites the first tag.

The tabs across the top of the shortlist filter by status, with a live count on each, so “what are we actually doing this weekend” is one tap on Viewing booked. Properties marked Not interested fade back visually but stay on the list.

With a linked partner, a property has one status, not two. Either of you can change it, whoever added the property, because “we are interested in this house” is a decision a couple makes about a property, not two private opinions kept in separate columns.

When one of you changes a status, the other’s app updates within a few seconds and a notification says what changed, the same way commentsand score changes already travel between linked accounts. Booking a viewing on your lunch break and having it show up on your partner’s phone before you have told them is the point.

Buying alone? Everything on this page works identically, the statuses are simply your own record of where each property stands.

One sort control covers the whole shortlist, ordering by suitability score, price or date added. The button beside it flips the direction, and its label speaks each sort’s own language, so you get best or worst first on score, lowest or highest on price, and newest or oldest on date.

Properties missing the thing you are sorting by, a price you have not filled in yet, or a score that is waiting on your finances, drop to the bottom of the list rather than pretending their value is zero. Your sort choice is remembered on the device, so the list comes back the way you left it.
