We run 14 checks
Each check runs independently and reports back what it found. No guesses, no opinions.
Read the report
Plain facts, side by side. Share with your solicitor, surveyor, or take it to the viewing.
Every check, side by side.
We don't invent scores or wrap facts in a trust badge. Each check runs independently and reports plain findings, so you, your solicitor, or your surveyor have something concrete to act on.
We're always sharpening existing checks and adding new ones, so every report you run is more thorough than the last.
Analyse images
Pulls out details from the listing photos that the description glosses over, from damp patches to dated kitchens to rooms that look smaller than the floor plan suggests.
Analyse documents
Reads any PDFs attached to the listing: EPCs, floor plans, leases, material information packs and pulls out the facts and concerns that the listing page doesn't surface.
Archive listing
Keeps a full copy of the listing page so you can prove what the seller claimed if the details quietly change before you exchange.
Archive media
Saves every photo and floor plan from the listing so nothing disappears if the agent edits or pulls the listing later.
Broadband
Shows the real download and upload speeds available at this address, not the postcode average that listings tend to quote.
Flood risk
The official flood risk for this exact property. High risk can push up insurance premiums, complicate the mortgage, and hurt resale.
Lease details
Remaining lease years, ground rent and service charges, plus the clauses that quietly make a flat hard to mortgage or resell later.
Nearby crime
Recent crime reported on the street and around it, so you get a feel for what living there day-to-day actually looks like.
Nearby schools
State and private schools within walking and driving distance, with their latest Ofsted ratings and catchment notes.
Planning history
Past planning decisions on the property and the street, including refused work and approvals nearby that could block your own extension or change the view.
Property tax
The council tax band and the annual bill, so you know your real monthly running cost before you put in an offer.
Transport links
Walking times to the nearest stations and bus stops, with realistic journey times to where you actually need to get to.
Sold nearby
Recent sale prices of comparable homes within walking distance, so you can see whether the asking price is fair or inflated.
Viewing checklist
A list of property-specific questions to ask the agent and things to look out for when you visit, based on what we found.
A preview of what you get. Nothing hidden behind paywall teasers.

“Rooph spotted the 2038 ground rent doubling clause my solicitor hadn't got to yet. That one fact changed our offer.”
Priya S.
First-time buyer in London
“I was ready to pay asking. The sold comparables showed I was £18k over. Worth it a hundred times over.”
Tom & Alice R.
Buying in Bristol
“Honest, factual, and doesn't try to tell you what to think. My surveyor now asks clients to run it before booking him.”
