Why AskHouse

Every house has answers in it. Getting one out has always meant a surveyor or a tradesperson and a three-week wait. The building knew all along. Now you can just ask it.

A residential street, every building on it has answers in it.

It's this house. Not the postcode.

A buyer checking whether it floods. An owner working out what they can build. A renter checking the energy rating and the street before they sign. A tradesperson sizing a job before the van leaves. One address, one straight answer, about that building, not houses like it.

Ask when you know.Explore when you don't.

Ask an address

Steps:

  1. 01

    Type the address.

    Any UK address. We find the exact building, not the street.

  2. 02

    Ask anything.

    What it's worth, whether it floods, what you can build, the roof, the energy. Plain questions, no forms.

  3. 03

    Get it straight.

    A card with the figure and where it came from, or an honest “don't know”, never a guess.

On site

Size the job before you drive to it.

Open any address in your phone's browser, no install. The boundary drawn on the satellite view, the roof in 3D, standing in the street, before the quote goes out. For roofers, installers, surveyors and builders. Everything measured from aerial survey, with the provenance attached. When we're not sure it's the right building, you get nothing rather than the neighbour's. The answer a quote can actually be built on.

A day in the life.

“At first light the detached house reads from the street as red brick under a pitched roof of concrete interlocking tiles, white uPVC fascias set against the gable, decorative bargeboards framing the roofline.”

The answers

What a house will tell you.

A 'sold' sticker going onto a for-sale sign in front of a house
01

What it last sold for, what the rest of the street has sold for since, and how the local market is moving, from recorded sales, not asking prices.

The value
Aerial and 3D view of a building
02

Footprint, floors, materials, roof and solar potential, measured from aerial survey and LiDAR, and rebuilt in 3D, not estimated from the floor plan.

Environment Agency flood map for a single address
03

Flood zone, ground stability, coal, radon. You get the asked hazard's own answer, “flood zone 3”, not a blended score, with the register it came from.

Planning overlay on a real building
04

Planning history, permitted development, listed status and conservation area, and whether an extension, heat pump or solar panels would fit, so you know what's allowed before you draw it.

Now, not in three weeks.

No booking, no callback, no quote before your first answer. Type an address and the answer is already there. Free, and no account needed for your first 3 homes.

Your street

Every street has a story.Most people never hear it.

Ask about a house and we'll tell you about its street too: how it came to be, what planning has allowed there and who lived there, with a source behind every line.
