Why Scan my Home
A written-off car gets polished up. With property it is exactly the same.
Everyone knows it from used cars: freshly polished, back on the forecourt, the accidents painted over. Property is presented the same way, only it is twenty times the money. Scan my Home looks behind the front and tells you what is really there.
Damp and mould painted over
Fresh paint often covers what is growing behind it. Scan my Home picks up the signs of damp on external and cellar walls and puts them on the checklist, so you know where to look when you view.
Wide-angle photos, small floor plan
A wide-angle lens makes rooms look twice their size. Scan my Home checks the photos against the square metres stated and shows the real layout in 2D and in rotatable 3D.
Main road, railway, flood zone
What the listing leaves out is in the official maps. Scan my Home lays them straight over your property: traffic noise, flooding, natural hazards, radon, zoning, solar potential, industrial risk and contaminated land, from the responsible authority in each country and with the source shown so you can check it yourself.
Deferred repairs and pending service charges
Old pipework, a roof renewal already agreed with a special levy, a poor energy rating: in the full assessment Scan my Home reads your documents with you and works the hidden costs into the value.
Above value, with no room to negotiate
The asking price is a starting point, not a market value. Scan my Home brings it down to the defensible figure and names your negotiating ceiling with a safety margin.
Above the legal ceiling
For tenants and landlords alike, Scan my Home places the rent between the lower end, the going rate and the legal ceiling, and names the rules that apply.
Real views
We do not just claim it.
Two chapters from a real report, taken unchanged: the warning signs on one specific property and how its value was arrived at.
Our principle
We work for the person checking. Not for the person selling.
Scan my Home values fairly, the way a surveyor would, names every risk and shows you the official sources so you can check for yourself. Not a sales brochure but an honest report that buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords can rely on.
