Free property checks here vs the official services — what each one gives you

Everything we show for free comes from an official source you can also go to directly. We aggregate them into one search; the government services are authoritative and, for anything legally operative, are the ones to rely on.

Everything we show for free comes from an official source you can also go to directly. We aggregate them into one search; the government services are authoritative and, for anything legally operative, are the ones to rely on.

Where the official service is the one that counts, we say so and link to it rather than trying to replace it. A flood rating you are going to show an insurer should come from the Environment Agency service itself.

What we charge for is the paid report and the pack — the checks listed above are free permanently, with no account and no email wall.
