Data Sources and Licences
Last updated 9 November 2026
Every figure on the platform comes from a dataset below. Each map, report and result also names its source and date where it is shown.
What Each Check Covers
- England
- All the checks.
- Wales
- Some checks: the Census, house sales, recorded crime and the property search. Flooding, ground, deprivation and designations are England only.
- Scotland and Northern Ireland
- Not covered.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- The industry map only, with the source of every company, link and figure shown on the map itself.
All the data is open: Crown copyright material is reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0 and OpenStreetMap under the Open Database Licence. The tools are in preview: they are built and tested but not yet signed off as validated, and they screen a place rather than replace a survey or professional advice.
