Surface-water risk flagged near the example address.

What we found

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Subsidence

Low

No elevated shrink-swell clay signal in this sample.

What we found

The fictional BGS-style geology result shows a low soil movement indicator for the immediate area.

What to do next

Still ask the surveyor to review visible cracking, trees close to walls, and any historic movement paperwork.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Air quality

Sample

Illustrative air quality band only.

What we found

This sample report does not use real air quality data. A paid report checks available public datasets for the actual address.

What to do next

For a real address, review nearby roads and local air readings if anyone in the household is sensitive to pollution.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Lifestyle and location

Crime, schools, transport, area

Crime and safety

Moderate

Sample area shows a moderate crime profile.

What we found

The fictional mix is weighted toward anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, with no specific incident data included.

What to do next

Visit at different times of day, review the real street context, and check whether parking arrangements increase exposure.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Schools

Good

Several nearby schools are shown as Good or Outstanding in the sample.

What we found

This mock report demonstrates how school ratings, phase, and distance appear in the full report.

What to do next

Confirm catchments directly with the local authority before relying on school proximity.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Transport

Useful

Bus and rail access appear reasonable in this fictional example.

What we found

Sample report output includes nearest bus stops, approximate rail distance, and walkability notes.

What to do next

Test the commute at the time you would travel, rather than relying on the headline distance.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Phone Signal Reality Check

Good

Example postcode shows good predicted in-home mobile coverage.

What we found

The sample illustrates how Ofcom mobile coverage data is turned into a buyer-friendly view of indoor and outdoor signal by network.

What to do next

Check Ofcom directly and test your own network inside the property during a viewing, especially if you work from home or rely on mobile backup.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Evening Activity Nearby

Active

Restaurants, cafes, pubs and takeaways nearby suggest a more active evening setting.

What we found

The sample uses Food Standards Agency food hygiene venue data as a softer proxy for nearby evening activity. It is not a direct noise measurement.

What to do next

Visit once after dark and check the exact street position, opening hours, delivery routes and pub or takeaway concentration before relying on the headline.

Property condition

EPC, age, tenure, listed status

EPC rating

D

EPC rating D. Likely to increase energy costs.

What we found

The sample EPC view shows estimated energy cost pressure and the kinds of upgrade notes a buyer should review.

What to do next

Ask for recent utility bills, check insulation and glazing, and budget for practical efficiency upgrades.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Tenure

Unconfirmed

Could not confirm tenure from public data.

What we found

The sample report shows how tenure uncertainty is surfaced when public signals are incomplete or inconsistent.

What to do next

Ask the estate agent and solicitor to confirm freehold or leasehold status, lease length, ground rent, and service charges.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Listed status

No flag

No listing flag shown in this fictional example.

What we found

A real report checks listed building and conservation area signals where available.

What to do next

Confirm with the local planning authority before planning external changes or extensions.

Ownership and legal-risk prompts

Conveyancer brief

The sample turns tenure, listed, conservation and search signals into legal follow-up questions.

What we found

A real report does not certify ownership or replace searches. It flags what your conveyancer should verify: current title, lease details, restrictions, planning records and environmental/search issues.

What to do next

Send the PDF to your conveyancer and ask them to confirm title, tenure, lease length, covenants, consents, conservation status and seller replies before exchange.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Market and finance

Sale prices, market positioning, insurance

Price comparison

Review

Asking price appears slightly above nearby sample comparables.

What we found

The fictional market snapshot demonstrates median, average, and recent transaction comparisons.

What to do next

Compare like-for-like property type, condition, lease status, and sale date before using this in negotiation.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Insurance outlook

Flagged

Flood signal may affect insurance questions.

What we found

The sample insurance note shows how risk signals can translate into quote checks before exchange.

What to do next

Run real quotes with the exact address before committing, especially where flood risk is present.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Negotiation notes

Evidence

Up to £2,800 evidenced in this sample scenario.

What we found

The sample leverage combines EPC upgrade pressure, flood insurance checks, and local price comparison.

What to do next

Use written evidence, not vague concern, when discussing price or seller-funded works.

Sample dataChecked: fictional example only

Available in your real report.
