Why check before you offer?

Findings from due diligence routinely knock 1-3% off agreed prices. £29 to potentially knock thousands off the asking.

Lease length surprises

Sub-80-year leases trigger marriage value and are harder to mortgage. Find this BEFORE you instruct a solicitor and waste £1,500 of conveyancing fees.

Hidden flood risk

Insurers hike premiums 2-5x for properties in known flood zones. Better to discover this before you fall in love with a kitchen.

Past mining activity

Coal Authority reporting areas often need a £60 CON29M search. We flag the area for free so you can plan.

Restrictive covenants

Some titles ban running a business from home, parking caravans, or extending. Spot it on the title register before exchange.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a substitute for a solicitor's conveyancing searches?

No. This is informational and designed to be used BEFORE you instruct a solicitor — to help you decide whether to proceed and what to ask. Conveyancing searches remain essential before exchange.

Where does the data come from?

Sales history is HM Land Registry. EPC is Open Data Communities. Flood is the Environment Agency. Crime is data.police.uk. Schools is GIAS / Ofsted. Council tax is the VOA. All under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

How fast is the report delivered?

The free postcode-level report is instant. Paid Standard and Premium reports are delivered by email within 60 seconds, with a permanent online report URL.

How is this different from buying a £7 title register from gov.uk?

HM Land Registry sells the raw PDF for £7. We add a plain-English summary, an automated lease-length analysis, and cross-reference against flood, planning, listed-building and mining datasets so the title sits in context. You also get a permanent online report URL you can send your solicitor.

Does it cover Scotland and Northern Ireland?

England and Wales for now. Scotland and Northern Ireland use separate land registries — both on the roadmap.
