The biggest purchase of your life. What are you missing about the area?
One postcode → crime, flood, coal mining, planning, listed buildings, infrastructure, EPC, sold prices and schools, pulled live from government open data. Free risk levels in about 10 seconds; the full 12-page dated PDF is £19.99 — less than the petrol to the second viewing.
Free: a risk level and count for each of 10 sections. Paid report (£19.99): every record named, dated and measured — comparables, crime by street, certificates, schools — as a 12-page dated PDF. England has full coverage; Wales partial; Scotland & NI are not covered.
What the report covers

Is the postcode inside Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 or 3, or a flood storage area? Insurers and lenders ask.
Development High Risk Areas and coalfield consultation areas from the Mining Remediation Authority.
What has been applied for nearby — extensions, conversions, new blocks — with reference, date and distance.
Listed buildings with grade, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and tree preservation zones at the address.
Nationally significant infrastructure within 2 km, council brownfield housing sites and heritage at risk nearby.
Declared Air Quality Management Areas, Green Belt and registered commons at the postcode point.
EPC bands of the homes in the postcode — running costs, and how much upgrading the street typically needs.
Every HM Land Registry sale within 500 m in 3 years, the postcode's own history, and the council house price index.
Open schools within 2 km: phase, ages, pupils vs capacity, distance and a link to each Ofsted report.
Why before the offer, not after
Conveyancing searches arrive weeks after your offer is accepted — after the survey fee, the mortgage valuation and the emotional commitment. Most of what they reveal about the area is already public. This report puts it in front of you while walking away still costs nothing.
How it is different
A dated PDF you can keep and show your solicitor, a provenance strip on every result saying which layers were live, and "unknown" — never "no risk" — when a source is down. No estate-agent adverts, no lead selling.
What it is not
Not an official local-authority search, not a survey, not a mining report and not advice. It does not replace your conveyancer's searches — it tells you what to ask them, earlier. Checks are made at the postcode centre, not your exact plot boundary.
