For Surveyors

Arrive better prepared

Pre-inspection intelligence, before you arrive

See key property context before you inspect — construction clues, heating systems, EPC data, flood and planning signals, and wider property intelligence in one place. Built to support better preparation, faster reporting, and stronger workflow integration over time.

Data fromHMLREPCOSEA

Too much inspection prep still starts from zero

Surveyors often assemble baseline property context manually before they even arrive on site. That means:

  • Checking multiple public sources separately
  • Inferring construction and age context from fragments
  • Identifying planning and environmental issues late
  • Duplicating preparation work matter after matter

You should start the inspection with context already in hand.

Fragmented pre-inspection research

Property context sits across multiple disconnected sources — easy to miss something important.

Repeated baseline gathering

The same EPC, planning, flood, and context checks are repeated on every job.

Less time for professional judgement

Time spent assembling baseline facts is time not spent on inspection quality and reporting.

Pre-inspection intelligence

Know more before you step through the door

Property Passport helps surveyors understand the asset earlier. It gives you structured property context before inspection so you can prepare better, spot likely issues sooner, and write with stronger supporting information.

Construction intelligence before arrival

Use EPC-era and construction clues to form an initial view of likely wall, roof, floor, glazing, and age-related characteristics — then confirm on site.

Know the building before you inspect

Heating system type, insulation signals, planning context, heritage status, and flood/environment indicators — in one structured place where available.

Government-linked, source-visible data

Data drawn from public and authoritative registers where shown, with source and date visibility where appropriate — so you can triage with context.

Report-ready structured context

Use the platform to inform inspection prep and support consistent report writing — alongside your own observations and measurements.

Better workflow efficiency

Spend less time assembling baseline facts and more time applying professional judgement during the inspection.

Structured access over time

Property Passport is being built as a property-centred data layer, intended to support stronger integration and structured access for survey and report workflows over time — not an open public API today.

Data available per property

Structured property context before inspection — where data exists for that property.

Wall construction clues

Narrows likely wall types before you open cavities or lift floor coverings.

Heating system type

Frames likely services checks and common failure modes for the era.

Insulation status

Highlights retrofit risk, condensation drivers, and thermal bridging questions.

EPC certificate context

Provides a dated snapshot of performance claims and recommended improvements.

Flood risk

Surfaces environmental risk signals early for damp and drainage lines of enquiry.

Planning history

Reveals extensions, conversions, and constraints that may affect condition and compliance.

Heritage status

Flags listed building and conservation constraints that change what you inspect and how you report.

Age and construction era

Aligns likely defects and materials with the era of construction.

How surveyors use it

1

Search the property

Start from the address and review available context before the inspection date.

2

Review pre-inspection intelligence

Identify likely construction, risk, planning, and environmental signals to prioritise on site.

3

Prepare the visit

Enter with better questions, clearer expectations, and a shorter “unknowns” list.

4

Inspect with context already in hand

Spend more time on observed condition and professional judgement rather than reconstructing baseline facts.

5

Write faster and more consistently

Use structured context and provenance-aware inputs to support efficient reporting workflows.

This does not replace inspection. It improves preparation.

Property Passport is not a survey. It is not a substitute for inspection or professional judgement. It is a structured pre-inspection intelligence layer designed to help surveyors prepare better and work more efficiently.

Built for structured access over time

Surveyors and survey firms increasingly need better digital inputs into report preparation, workflow systems, and property intelligence processes. Property Passport is being built as a structured, property-centred data layer. Over time, it is intended to support stronger integration and structured access for professional workflows — without implying a live public API today.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace a survey?

No. Property Passport is not a survey. It is a structured pre-inspection intelligence layer to help you prepare — not a substitute for inspection or professional judgement.

What data is available before inspection?

Structured context typically includes EPC-era construction clues, heating and insulation signals, flood and planning indicators, heritage status, and environmental constraints — where available from public sources and the record.

Where does the data come from?

From authoritative UK registers and datasets (for example HM Land Registry, EPC Register, Environment Agency, and local authority sources), with source and date visibility where appropriate.

Is there API or integration access today?

There is no public self-serve API for production use today. The platform is being built to support structured access and integrations for professional workflows over time.

Can I use this in report preparation?

Yes. Use the structured context to inform inspection prep and to support consistent, provenance-aware reporting — alongside your own notes and site findings.

Is this suitable for firms as well as individuals?

Yes. Independent surveyors and firms can use the same property-centred record for pre-inspection research and collaboration across instructions.

Start every inspection better prepared

See property context earlier, reduce pre-inspection admin, and support stronger reporting workflows.
