Our Area Intelligence engine goes to work
The engine we built pulls live, official data for that exact location from government and regulator sources, then grades each of the 48 checks against the national picture so you can see how the area really compares.
Get your verdict instantly
You get a scannable report. A blunt one-line verdict, then every check answered in a line of plain English with the figures behind it, the things an estate agent's brochure quietly leaves out. Yours for a flat £1.99, no subscription.
Straight from the source
Every check is pulled from published data, government registers, regulators and open mapping records, never from a home listing. And where a figure is an area-wide or indicative reading rather than a measurement of your exact doorstep, the card says so instead of glossing over it.

16 separate sources, none of which were built to talk to each other, all answering for one doorstep in about a minute. That's the bit we built ourselves, and it's the reason a report costs £1.99 instead of what a search company charges.
We ask once, not 21 times
21 of the checks come off the same map — pubs, parks, bus stops, petrol stations. We grab the lot in one go instead of 21 separate trips. That's most of why your report takes a minute.
The slow bits are already done
Broadband, mobile signal, radon and school records barely change week to week. So we keep our own copies. Nothing to wait for.
If we can't get an answer, we say so
If a source is down, the check says so. We won't stick a national average in the gap and let you think we measured your street.
How every check is graded
Raw data on its own is hard to judge. So we grade each check against the national picture and turn it into something you can read at a glance.
A blunt verdict
One honest line per check, no jargon, so you know within seconds whether it’s a strength, a niggle or a red flag.
The figures behind it
The actual numbers behind every check, in plain English, so you can trust the verdict, or dig into the detail yourself.
