MyPropertyScan vs HomeBuyerCheck
HomeBuyerCheck is another UK property-check service. It names ownership, company and legal-risk angles clearly. This page compares what each service covers, what it costs and what it leaves for a professional to verify.
Short answer
Choose MyPropertyScan if you want a pre-offer report with clear source notes, risk score, calculator context, PDF export and questions to raise with professionals. Compare HomeBuyerCheck if you specifically want the low advertised paid tiers or its ownership/company-style labels.

What each report actually draws on
HomeBuyerCheck is clear about the concerns buyers have: ownership, legal issues, solicitor questions and low report prices.
MyPropertyScan describes its own data layer: Land Registry price-paid tenure signals, EPC and council-tax context, listed and conservation checks, and follow-up questions for your conveyancer.

FAQs
Is HomeBuyerCheck cheaper than MyPropertyScan?
HomeBuyerCheck's public site advertises lower paid tiers. MyPropertyScan is £9.99 for the full buyer report and includes a free preview first.
Does MyPropertyScan copy HomeBuyerCheck ownership checks?
No. MyPropertyScan uses its own available public-data sources and clearly labels what it can and cannot verify. It does not certify title or publish owner names.
Which is better before making an offer?
Use the report that best turns data into next actions. For many buyers, that means clear source notes, legal-risk prompts, survey prompts, cost context and a PDF they can keep.
How MyPropertyScan produces this guide, and what it is not
Published by MyPropertyScan and written by Ziad Nasr, who is accountable for its accuracy. No page here is written or reviewed by a chartered surveyor, conveyancer or regulated adviser, and we do not claim otherwise.
This page is not:
- Chartered surveying: we do not inspect properties or produce RICS Home Survey reports
- Legal advice: we do not act as conveyancers or advise on title, tenure or contracts
- Mortgage or insurance advice: we are not regulated by the FCA and give no recommendations
Figures and process steps come from published UK datasets and standards, not from professional practice. Pages are updated when source coverage, survey cost assumptions, or lender and legal requirements materially change. Dataset limitations are set out on the methodology page.
