Plain English
This guide answers: What Does House Price History Tell You? Treat it as a working note you can share with your conveyancer, lender, or surveyor so everyone checks the same facts.
Searches and surveys
Searches answer regulatory questions; surveys answer physical condition. Neither replaces the other.
Insurance and lending
Insurers and lenders sometimes care about different facts than buyers do. Flag anything that could affect cover or security.
Audit trail
Keep a short note of when you checked each source so you can explain your timeline to advisers.
