Three steps. About sixty seconds.

1

Enter any UK address

Type a full address or just a postcode. There's no sign-up, no saved searches and no marketing emails, you don't even need an account to get started.

2

We run the checks

We pull live, official data for that exact location from government and regulator sources, then grade each of the 42 checks against the national picture so you can see how the area really compares.

3

Get your verdict instantly

You get a scannable report: a blunt one-line verdict, then every check answered in a line of plain English with the figures behind it, the things an estate agent's brochure quietly leaves out. Yours for a flat £1.99, no subscription.

Straight from the source

We don’t take an estate agent’s word for anything. Every check is pulled from published data, government registers, regulators and open mapping records, never from a home listing. And where a figure is an area-wide or indicative reading rather than a measurement of your exact doorstep, the card says so instead of glossing over it.

How every check is graded

Raw data on its own is hard to judge. So we grade each check against the national picture and turn it into something you can read at a glance.

A blunt verdict

One honest line per check, no hedging, no jargon, so you know within seconds whether it’s a strength, a niggle or a red flag.

The figures behind it

The actual numbers behind every check, in plain English, so you can trust the verdict, or dig into the detail yourself.
