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 tradesperson sizing a job from the street. An office pulling one answer the whole desk can see. 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.

The AskHouse app: satellite view with boundaries and 3D

The AskHouse app puts satellite, 3D and street view in your pocket, for roofers, installers, surveyors and builders. Check the boundary, the access, the fall of the land and the roof, standing in the street, before the quote goes out. Everything measured from aerial survey and LiDAR, 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.

Aerial and 3D view of a building
01

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

The building
Environment Agency flood map for a single address
02

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
03

Planning history, permitted development, listed status and conservation area, 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 it's already done — free, no account.
