Frequently asked questions

CheckNext is an AI-powered property intelligence tool for UK home buyers. Paste a Rightmove or Zoopla listing URL and get an instant, independent report covering construction era, running costs, potential issues, risk rating and a personalised viewing checklist — all in under 30 seconds.

CheckNext currently supports Rightmove and Zoopla property listings across England, Scotland and Wales. Simply copy the URL of any active listing and paste it into the search bar on our analyse page.

Our AI acts as a UK property maintenance expert, drawing on construction data, EPC records and the listing description to produce its assessment. It is not a substitute for a professional survey — it is a fast, independent second opinion that helps you know what to look for before you commit time and money to a viewing or an offer.

Stage 1 analyses the listing and returns: the likely construction era and associated issues, estimated annual running costs (heating, maintenance reserve, council tax), top 3–5 potential problems with severity ratings, a personalised viewing checklist and an overall risk rating with a plain-English explanation.

After your viewing, upload the photos you took on your phone. Our AI analyses the actual condition of what you saw — spotting damp patches, cracks, roof damage and other defects the estate agent didn't mention. You get room-by-room condition scores and recommended follow-up questions. Available from £3.99 per property.

Upload your surveyor's PDF report and CheckNext translates the technical jargon into a clear 5-year maintenance roadmap with cost estimates and priority ratings — so you know exactly what you're taking on and what it will cost. Available from £6.99 per report.

Your first 3 Stage 1 analyses are completely free — no card required. After that, credit packs start from £4.99 (Explorer: 10 Stage 1 analyses). The House Hunter pack (£9.99) includes 25 Stage 1 and 2 Stage 2 credits. The Serious Buyer pack (£19.99) includes 25 Stage 1, 5 Stage 2 and 2 Stage 3 credits. You can also buy individual stage upgrades a la carte.

No. Once you purchase a credit pack, your credits never expire. Use them whenever you need them — whether that's this week or six months from now.

Yes. Every report has a unique shareable link you can send to your partner, solicitor, surveyor or anyone else involved in your purchase. They don't need a CheckNext account to view it.

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest. We don't sell or share your personal data with estate agents, developers or any third party. Your reports are private to you unless you choose to share them.

A surveyor physically inspects the property — CheckNext doesn't replace that. What we do is give you an independent, AI-powered assessment before you spend time and money on viewings and surveys. Think of Stage 1 as your research assistant, Stage 2 as a second pair of eyes at the viewing, and Stage 3 as a translator for the surveyor's report.

CheckNext was built by a small, independent UK team with experience in property technology and AI. We have no affiliation with any estate agent, developer or mortgage broker — our only interest is helping buyers make better-informed decisions.
