This free tool checks one data point. The HouseCheckup Complete report combines 70+ data sources into an 18-page report with a composite IQ Score (0–100) — covering flood, EPC, crime, schools, transport, ground stability, investment potential, and more.
Research consistently shows that proximity to Outstanding Ofsted-rated schools increases property values by 8–12%. This is known as the 'school premium'. Even the difference between Good and Outstanding can mean a 3–5% price difference. HouseCheckup's IQ Score includes school quality as one of the 18 weighted factors.
HouseCheckup uses DfE Get Information About Schools (GIAS) for school details and Ofsted inspection data for ratings. This covers all state-funded schools in England including primary, secondary, special, and nursery schools. The data includes the latest inspection rating, date, and key findings.
HouseCheckup shows the nearest schools by distance and their Ofsted ratings. Catchment areas are set by individual schools and local authorities and can change yearly. Our report helps you understand which schools are nearby, but always verify catchment eligibility directly with the school or local authority.
