Source coverage matters

We cover England, Wales and Scotland. Coverage is not identical in each: some official sources publish for one nation and not another, so every report names the checks it could not run at your address rather than scoring them as a pass.

The report is not a structural survey, a valuation, an insurance certificate or a substitute for conveyancing searches. Read the source register and our comparison of report options.

No. An area score is a summary of available source data. A qualified surveyor assesses the physical building and a conveyancer handles the legal enquiries. Missing data is shown as a gap.
