Home Cost Check (pilot)

Buying costs and local checks for a postcode

Enter a postcode and the price you expect to pay. The page shows the standard tax for that price, recent sold prices nearby, and flood and planning designations from public data. Every line shows its source and date.

Also free: Landlord check · Source-of-funds checklist

Replacing your main home? If you sell it on or before the day this purchase completes, leave this unticked. If you buy first and sell later, the higher rates usually apply at first, and you may be able to claim them back if you sell within 3 years. GOV.UK guidance
