Houzecheck, the property technology platform that uses cloud, digital and AI technologies to provide RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Surveys, RICS Level 3 Building Surveys, and property valuations through a network of accredited RICS-registered surveyors, says its surveying volumes have grown by 75% over the course of 2025.
The company attributes the increase to the investment of London-based private equity funders Beach Equity Investments, who also made a series of strategic hires including the appointment of former chair of the RICS residential body, Paul Latham, as Houzecheck’s chairman, and former e.surv business development director Richard Sexton (pictured), now Houzecheck’s commercial director.
“Beach Capital’s investment has supercharged our growth engine,” Sexton said.
“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 conveyancers who can refer business earning additional passive income stream, with growth 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 conveyancer 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 conveyancer partners who tell us the system is friction-free and seamless.”
Houzecheck has completed more than 40,000 property surveys in the last seven years and works with a panel of around 150 fully RICS-accredited members.
