Our approach

How ClearKey produces property intelligence

Independent

ClearKey has no commercial relationship with any estate agent, developer or lender. Our analysis is not influenced by advertising or referral agreements.

Evidence-led

Everything we publish is derived from observable market activity — sold comparables, listing outcomes and publicly available data. We are transparent about what we can and cannot measure.

Buyer-first

We write for buyers, not vendors or agents. Our goal is to help you understand what is actually happening in the market, not to generate leads.

Northern Ireland specific

We focus exclusively on the Northern Ireland property market. National UK averages rarely reflect local conditions here — we do not pretend otherwise.
