About the company:

Houzecheck is an ambitious, fast-growing technology company committed to disrupting the residential surveying market in UK.

Back in 2017, our CEO Amit Bansal nearly lost his dream home due to the delays in getting a home survey report. As an established business entrepreneur and technology expert, Amit was very frustrated by his experience and by the state of technology used in the property sector at that time.

Amit decided that something needed to be done to help find a better solution for the housing market. He went on to co-found Houzecheck in 2018.

Houzecheck is led by experts from technology, surveying and operations, to help people buy their dream home with confidence, as easily as possible.

Houzecheck is built on technology. We have developed unique state of the art technologies to support our customers and our surveyors. Our technology is helping us to succeed in our mission to deliver a faster, cheaper and better service to our customers.
