dwellify.co.uk

dwellify runs property risk checks for every home in England, covering flooding, the ground (mining and radon), road and rail noise, air quality, planning and heritage, energy rating, and local crime, deprivation and schools. Each check is drawn from official datasets such as those of the Environment Agency, HM Land Registry, British Geological Survey, Defra, Historic England, Ofsted and the police, and is graded high, medium or low with its source shown. Postcode pages are free and need no sign-up.

Its users are home buyers and sellers, and estate agents, who can apply the same checks to the flood, mining and planning facts covered by Part C of the material information rules. The company states that it is not an estate agent and takes no referral fees or paid placements. It also publishes house price figures for England's 295 council areas, based on HM Land Registry data.

The site covers 28.2 million homes in England and reports 46 official datasets and 44 checks. Some risks, such as shrinking clay soils, are not yet checked because suitable open data is not available. The company describes its checks as a guide to what to look into, not a survey, and not a substitute for a surveyor, solicitor, lender or insurer.

Product: Free per-postcode and per-home property risk checks for England, plus a Part C material information check service for estate agents.
