Important limitations
MyPropertyScan reports are UK property information summaries based on publicly available datasets. They can help buyers spot questions to ask before committing, but they are not a survey, valuation, legal search, mortgage assessment, insurance assessment or professional advice. Use the report as a starting point, then confirm anything important with the right qualified professional.

What does MyPropertyScan provide?
MyPropertyScan reports are based on publicly available UK datasets and are provided for general information purposes only. They are not a definitive assessment of any property and should not be treated as one.
What does a report not replace?
A MyPropertyScan report is not a substitute for:
- •A RICS HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey, or any other professional property inspection. A qualified surveyor physically inspects the property and provides a detailed, regulated assessment that this service does not. RICS explains the different levels of home survey.
- •Conveyancing searches carried out by a solicitor or conveyancer. Legal searches cover matters such as local authority records, drainage, planning history, and other issues not covered here. GOV.UK describes searches as part of the buying process.
- •Legal advice of any kind.
- •Mortgage advice or any regulated financial advice.
- •Insurance advice or an insurance assessment.
- •A property valuation.
- •Tax advice.
How should you treat data limitations?
The data used to generate reports comes from publicly available sources that may be incomplete, out of date, delayed, or unavailable for certain properties. Not all checks will return data for every address. Where data is unavailable or estimated, this is clearly indicated in the report.
Risk indicators, such as flood risk, subsidence risk, or crime data, are guidance only and may not reflect current conditions, site-specific factors, or all relevant circumstances. They are based on the datasets available at the time of the scan and should be treated as a starting point for further investigation, not a final assessment.
What should you do before making a property decision?
Before making any decision to buy a property, you should seek independent professional advice from a qualified surveyor, solicitor or conveyancer, mortgage broker, insurer, and any other specialist relevant to your circumstances. Do not rely on a MyPropertyScan report as your only source of information about a property.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BiteRight Ltd (the operator of MyPropertyScan) accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information contained in a MyPropertyScan report.
Is a MyPropertyScan report professional advice?
No. MyPropertyScan reports are general information summaries based on publicly available UK datasets. They are not legal advice, surveyor advice, mortgage advice, insurance advice, tax advice or a property valuation.
Does MyPropertyScan replace a survey?
No. A MyPropertyScan report does not replace a RICS Home Survey, HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey or any other professional property inspection. A qualified surveyor physically inspects the property; MyPropertyScan does not.
Does MyPropertyScan replace conveyancing searches?
No. A solicitor or conveyancer organises legal searches such as local authority, water and drainage and environmental searches during a purchase. MyPropertyScan is a buyer research tool, not a conveyancing service.
Why might some report data be unavailable?
Public datasets can be incomplete, delayed, unavailable for a particular address or unavailable in a particular nation. Where data is missing or estimated, the report is intended to show that clearly.
