How the check works
Three checks, one estimate
The same sources a surveyor reads before a visit, weighed together.
- 1
The official records
The government's energy certificate for the house, and for similar homes on the same road, often record the age and the wall type.
- 2
Research
Where the records leave it open, Flettons looks for what is known about the street and its estate.
- 3
Your photos
The walls, roof, windows and shape of the house are compared with every era of home and every non-traditional type.
Non-traditional homes
Some of the types the check looks for
An estimate only. Many homes have been extended, re-clad or rendered, and only an inspection by a surveyor can confirm how a house is built. The House Type Check and the free desk study are free, general information, produced automatically from public records (mainly government data such as Energy Performance Certificates) and from any photographs you add. Flettons does not check or verify those records, which can contain errors or be out of date. To the fullest extent the law allows, Flettons accepts no liability for any errors or omissions in the records, the estimate or the desk study, or for any loss arising from reliance on them. Please do not decide to buy, borrow or carry out work on the strength of them alone.
