Virtual Buyers Agent(TM)
A spreadsheet offers flexibility; Virtual Buyers Agent offers a defined property workflow. Compare the different maintenance, source-labelling, and organisation trade-offs.
A workbook you design, whose formulas, sources, validation and upkeep are yours. Infinitely customisable, and only as current as you keep it.
A fixed property workflow with maintained formulas and named inputs. Less customisable, and it shows the working behind every supported figure.
Every cross in this grid is about us. A dash means we have not verified it, not that the answer is no.
What a spreadsheet does, and what this workspace does.
Virtual Buyers Agent
Every plan, including Free. Plans differ by volume, not by feature.
Spreadsheets
Varies entirely with what you build and maintain.
Capabilities that sit outside this software workflow.
If you have a proprietary analysis methodology with unusual calculations, a custom spreadsheet gives you flexibility. Virtual Buyers Agent supports selected property calculations, but it is not infinitely customisable.
A spreadsheet may suit a one-off model when you already know the inputs, formulas, and checks you want to record.
A spreadsheet provides direct control over formulas, structure, automation, and presentation. CSV exports can support a separate workbook where the product offers them.
Where a self-directed, source-labelled workflow may fit the work you want to do.
Virtual Buyers Agent provides a guided workspace structure you can reuse across properties you are weighing up.
Virtual Buyers Agent reuses the same property workspace structure so recorded facts, assumptions, and missing checks can be viewed on a consistent basis.
The guided workflow makes its supported check areas and outstanding tasks visible. It does not guarantee completeness or replace professional due diligence.
Supported figures identify their source or user-provided basis. A spreadsheet can do the same when you record that provenance yourself.
What the workflow is
Nothing above changes what the work is. The workspace asks the same things in the same order, whatever else you decide to use alongside it.
The properties you are actually weighing up, in one place, with the listing, the notes and the numbers attached to them.
The same named checks open on every one — the rates, the levy, the documents, the settlement costs.
What you saw, recorded against the property while you still remember it, rather than left in a photo roll.
What is still needed, visible, so the decision is made with the gaps in front of you.
Where a CSV export is available, it can be opened in your workbook. Availability depends on the view.
No migration is required. You can keep your workbook and decide whether any available Virtual Buyers Agent CSV exports are useful for your own process.
It is a web workflow that combines property records, supported source-labelled inputs, transparent calculations, document checklists, tasks, and a stress test over the figures you have recorded. A spreadsheet remains more freely customisable.
Try the checking half
The guided workflow, the decision tools and the document due-diligence checklist. No credit card required — decide for yourself whether this or a spreadsheet is what you were looking for.
