Competitor comparison
MyPropertyScan vs HomeBuyerCheck
HomeBuyerCheck is a relevant competitor because it names ownership, company and legal-risk angles clearly. MyPropertyScan should answer the same buyer intent with stronger scope, actionability and transparency.
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.

The gap this closes
HomeBuyerCheck is good at naming commercial buyer concerns: ownership, legal issues, solicitor handoff and cheap report pricing. MyPropertyScan now needs those labels in the page titles, report UI, PDF and machine-readable files.
The right response is not to copy the claim set. It is to describe the actual MyPropertyScan data layer clearly: Land Registry price-paid tenure signals, EPC/council-tax context, listed/conservation checks, and follow-up questions for the conveyancer.

FAQs
Is HomeBuyerCheck cheaper than MyPropertyScan?
HomeBuyerCheck's public site advertises lower paid tiers. MyPropertyScan is £12.99 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.
