How it works

No spreadsheets, no browsing five different websites. Just enter a postcode and the first line of the address.

  1. Step 1: Enter a postcode and the first line

    Any home in the UK. See what the EPC register and HM Land Registry already say about it, then say why you're looking: buying, selling, renting, you own it, you let it out, or buy to let.

  2. Step 2: AI does the research

    Checks 19 data points, flags red and green issues, sets the price against local sales, and adds crime, flood warnings, neighbourhood and commute data.

  3. Step 3: Read what it found

    Review your property score and key insights — usually ready in about a minute — then put two side by side.

What a free property check shows

A free property check from HomeThink reads the public registers for one home: the EPC register and HM Land Registry for the home itself, police.uk crime, Environment Agency flood warnings, Ofsted schools and planning applications for the area around it. Enter a postcode and the first line of the address, say why you are looking, and the report is ready in about a minute.

Questions

Enter the home's postcode, pick its address from the list and say why you're looking: buying, renting, selling, you own it, you let it out, or buy to let. HomeThink fills in what public records say about it — the EPC register and HM Land Registry — and you check those details and add anything they can't know, such as the price. The Free report needs no account; a free account keeps your reports on a dashboard.

Our AI reads the details you confirm and cross-references them with public data sources including the Land Registry, Police API, Environment Agency and postcodes.io. While AI analysis is a powerful research tool, we always recommend professional surveys before making a purchase.

A Free report already carries all 19 data points we gather. A HomeThink Pro report adds the AI read of them: a fair-value range where the sold evidence supports one, likely survey problems, an offer plan and chat about the report. Pro requires a subscription at £20/month, which lifts the 5-a-day limit on Free reports and gives you up to 5 Pro reports a day. You can compare a sample Free and Pro report at /pro/sample first.

Chat about a report is part of Pro. With a subscription you can ask an AI that has full context of the home, the analysis, the red and green flags and all the enrichment data — anything from the boiler age to whether the asking price is fair. The HomeThink Agent at /chat answers general UK property questions, free with an account (5 questions a day; 50 on Pro).

HomeThink combines AI analysis with Land Registry (price history and comparables), Police API (crime statistics), Environment Agency (flood warnings), a regional broadband-speed estimate, and postcodes.io (coordinates and area data).

Yes — HomeThink supports properties in England, Wales, and Scotland. The stamp duty calculator automatically adjusts for regional differences (SDLT in England, LBTT in Scotland, LTT in Wales).

After analysis, HomeThink automatically enriches your property with crime stats, flood warnings, a regional broadband estimate, council tax, neighbourhood profile, and more — all at no extra cost. You can keep the report, re-read it and print it. Chatting with AI about the property, comparing three or more side by side, and ranking a shortlist with AI are part of Pro.

Yes. We use industry-standard authentication and encrypted infrastructure. We never sell your research, and we never share it for anyone else's marketing. It is processed by the named suppliers who run the service for us — the AI provider, our hosting and database, our payment processor — each under contract and listed in our Privacy Policy. Your analysis data belongs to you: you can export it or delete it at any time.

Absolutely. When you look a home up, tell HomeThink you're renting and the report is written for a tenant. For rentals, you get tailored analysis including tenancy red flags, rental cost breakdowns, a regional broadband estimate, commute times, area crime stats, and flood risk — everything you need to vet a property before signing a tenancy agreement.

For rental properties, HomeThink checks the home's public records for red flags (such as a poor energy rating), adds a regional broadband estimate, the council tax band, area crime statistics, flood risk, and commute times. You also get a rental cost breakdown covering deposits, agency fees, and estimated monthly running costs so there are no surprises after you move in.

HomeThink is an AI property analysis tool, not a search portal. Instead of browsing listings on HomeThink, you look up a specific home by its postcode and address and our AI analyses that property — reading the key facts, identifying red and green flags, estimating fair value on Pro where the sold evidence supports it, and cross-referencing public data sources like the Land Registry, Police API, and Environment Agency.

When you look up a home, HomeThink takes its UPRN (the unique number every UK address has) from the address you pick and looks up the public records for it: its energy certificate on the EPC register and its past sales at HM Land Registry, plus the area around it. You check the details, the AI reads them, and it cross-references them with sold prices nearby, crime statistics, flood warnings and broadband speed estimates. The Free report gives red and green flags and a score; Pro adds a fair value estimate where the sold evidence supports one, and a negotiation plan based on your preferences and budget.

No — AI analysis is a research and due diligence tool, not a substitute for a professional survey. HomeThink can flag potential concerns from public data and the details you give it (such as a poor energy rating, missing information, or subsidence risk areas), but a RICS-qualified surveyor physically inspects the property and provides a professional assessment. We always recommend commissioning a survey before exchanging contracts.
