Questions? We've got straight answers.
Is MoveCheck a replacement for a survey or legal search?+
No. MoveCheck helps you spot risks before you spend money on surveys, conveyancing searches, or an offer you may later regret.
Where does the data come from?+
MoveCheck uses official UK datasets such as Land Registry, Environment Agency, Police.uk, Ofsted, British Geological Survey, DEFRA, UKHSA, EPC data, and connectivity sources.
Is the hidden-cost number guaranteed?+
No. It is an estimate designed to make risk visible before you offer. The report explains the assumptions and shows the source data behind each estimate.
Can I use it for rentals?+
Yes. Renters can use MoveCheck to assess safety, noise, broadband, mobile signal, transport, amenities, and local area quality before signing.
