HouzeCheck

What HouzeCheck does

Houzecheck is a UK-based digital-first home surveying platform founded in 2018 by CEO Amit Bansal after he nearly lost a property purchase due to slow survey turnaround. Operating across England and Wales (excluding Scotland and Northern Ireland), the platform connects individual homebuyers — and a partner ecosystem of conveyancers, solicitors, estate agents, mortgage brokers, and integrated conveyancing platforms such as Juno — with a network of 150+ RICS-qualified surveyors for residential property surveys and valuations. The company has reported 45,366 customers served since inception, 40,000+ surveys completed, £18 billion of properties inspected, and 70% year-over-year revenue growth, supported by approximately 200 staff across technology, surveying, operations, sales, and customer service. Houzecheck Limited (parent) and wholly-owned Houzecheck Surveying Limited (delivery subsidiary) hold a private equity investment and are headed by CEO Amit Bansal with Chairman Paul Latham on the board.

The core product mix is three RICS-compliant services sold on a unit-pricing, pay-as-you-go basis: Property Valuations from £269, RICS Level 2 Home Surveys from £489, and RICS Level 3 Home Surveys from £739, with an enhanced HouzeView Report bundled in as an add-on. Underpinning the consumer-facing service is SurveyFast, the company's proprietary cross-platform SaaS (iOS, Android, web) used by its surveyor panel; it features AI-powered auto-report writing (stated to reduce report-writing time by 60-70%), offline-first operation, integrated booking calendar, image capture/editing, RICS-standard formatting, valuation tools, and cloud-based sync. Revenue is generated directly through self-serve online booking (houzecheck.com/book) and a UK phone sales line, and indirectly through a commission-based partner referral network with API/one-click referral integration and automated commission tracking; named core-tier partners include Legal & General Surveying, Taylor Rose, SDL Surveying, and Juno. The company is headquartered in Watford, operates on a B2C/B2B2C model with no trainee surveyors, and differentiates primarily on a 48-hour average turnaround versus an industry-standard 5-7 days.
