Home Sleuth

Home Sleuth turns any UK postcode into a property dossier in one search. The data is all from official public sources — there's no account, no tracking.

WHAT EACH PROPERTY CARD SHOWS

• SOLD PRICE HISTORY from HM Land Registry — every recorded sale, with date and amount.

• EPC CERTIFICATE HISTORY — current rating, every previous certificate back to 2008, and floor-area changes greater than 8 percent between certificates flagged as likely extensions.

• PLANNING APPLICATIONS recorded at the address — extensions, lofts, conservatories, dormers and similar — with the decision state and a link to the council's planning portal.

• COUNCIL TAX BAND from HMRC, plus an estimated annual charge for some areas.

AREA INFO ABOVE THE PROPERTY LIST

• RECENT CRIME within a mile from data.police.uk — the latest published month with the top categories.

• NEIGHBOURHOOD NAME (House of Commons Library), Census 2021 population, median age and tenure split, plus an Index of Multiple Deprivation decile so you know how the area compares within its country.

• NEAREST PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS (OpenStreetMap) with distance in miles.

• NEAREST TRAIN STATION with distance in miles.

WHO IT'S FOR

Designed for prospective buyers, renters, and anyone doing due diligence on a UK address before committing. England and Wales return the full data set; Scotland and Northern Ireland show what their respective registries publish.
