Buying costs vary. Typical legal fees are not the average loss on a failed purchase. Sales can fall through for many reasons; CheckAHome cannot predict or prevent every failed purchase.

Coming to iPhone

Your report supplements the buying process. It does not replace a survey, conveyancing searches, legal advice or financial advice. Estimates are indicative.

Before you make an offer

What should you check before buying a house?

Start with the price history, local area, planning records and potential risks. Then take the right questions to your agent, surveyor and solicitor.

Good questions.

A few things to know.

How does CheckAHome work?

Scan the front of a house or enter a postcode, confirm the property, then explore its verdict and property checks. The screens on this website show an illustrative sample report.

What do I get for free?

A headline verdict and three key facts. The full report is £4.99 per property, with no subscription.

Where can I use it?

CheckAHome is being prepared for iPhone, covering properties in England initially. Availability and detail depend on the records available for each home.

Will a report stop a purchase falling through?

No. Purchases can fail because of financing, chains, changes of mind and other issues beyond a property report. CheckAHome helps you explore available records and identify questions earlier; it cannot identify every issue or guarantee savings.

Does it replace a survey or solicitor?

No. CheckAHome helps you spot questions early. Estimates and public records need checking, and you should still use a qualified surveyor and solicitor.

Can I search without taking a photo?

Yes. Search using a postcode and select the property you want to check.
