HOUZECHECK SURVEY VOLUMES SURGE 75% IN 12 MONTHS
15 January 2026
Surveying proptech says business from brokers driving growth as referral income triples since Jan 2024
Proptech Houzecheck has announced that its surveying volumes have grown by 75% over the course of 2025.
At the end of 2024, Beach Capital invested in the surveying portal and made a series of strategic hires, including the appointment of industry stalwart and former chair of the RICS’ residential body, Paul Latham, as Houzecheck’s chairman – and mortgage valuation veteran Richard Sexton, who was poached from e.surv.
Richard Sexton, commercial director of Houzecheck, said:
“Beach Capital’s investment has supercharged our growth engine – we have seen volume rise by 75 per cent in the last year. The market is hungry for faster, smarter surveying. By blending chartered surveyor rigour with proptech speed, we have cut the average time it takes to get a report completed and delivered down to between 2¾-3 days – which is not bad considering a building survey takes a day to complete.
“And we aren’t sacrificing quality in our quest for speed; the quality of Houzecheck’s reports remains high and we still haven’t had a PI claim. Our tech insists that the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed by prompting surveyors to report accurately and consistently and offering suggestions linked to their inputs. That combination of speed and quality is proving very powerful.”
Houzecheck says it has outstripped growth in residential property transactions by successfully building partnerships with intermediaries who can refer business earning additional passive income stream and that this has tripled since Jan 2024, accelerating particularly significantly over the last 10 months.
Amit Bansal, the founder and chief executive of Houzecheck, said,
“Once they’re registered, it can take a broker as little as 20 seconds to mention it to their client, and 10 seconds to click a link to send them the details. It’s very little effort to earn some extra cash. Perhaps unsurprisingly then, much of our growth over the last year has come from our [mortgage broker] partners who tell us the system is friction-free and seamless.”
Houzecheck is a surveying proptech leveraging cloud, digital, and AI technologies to improve both the surveyors’ and customer experience. The business has completed more than 40,000 surveys in the last seven years on properties. Houzecheck now works with a panel of approximately 150 fully RICS-accredited members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and offers property valuations, RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Surveys, and RICS Level 3 Building Surveys.
