Check the area is a fantastic new service enabling you to thoroughly research an area before making a purchase decision.
According to Halifax Home Insurance, a bad neighbourhood can knock up to £30,000 off the value of your property.
Avoid problems and get your own customised report on the area you are moving to before you make that all important decision to buy.
Four out of five sellers with nuisance neighbours don't inform purchasers of the problem, despite it being a legal requirement. And most people don't have the time or the skills to go and do the research themselves.
ChecktheArea.com offers potential home buyers a comprehensive report on the area they are considering relocating to by way of face to face interviews with those that will be closest to you!
You're sure to get a report to check the structure of your new house. It only makes sense then to get a report on your potential new neighbourhood. We give you reports that statistics can't give you.
Reports are conducted by a nationwide network of retired police officers, each tasked with using their local knowledge and investigative skills to research your potential new neighbourhood.
Check The Area investigators carry out face-to-face interviews with residents, and produce a comprehensive report covering everything from nuisance neighbours and pets, to vandalism and burglaries, speeding cars and parking issues, planning applications and soundproofing of the properties.
And it doesn't stop there.
The report also includes a standard Freedom of Information request letter you can send to your local authority to check whether there are is anyone living within a mile and a half radius that has been convicted of child abuse, is on a life license from prison, or has been convicted of firearms offences.
There is even a fast track option to receive your report in seven days rather than the standard 14 day turnaround, if you find yourself under tight time pressure to close on your home purchase.
Unfortunately, we can't help people already living in ‘problem' areas, but we can help you avoid making what could be the costliest mistake of your life.
