Our Package Check is the simplest way to explore your property's research potential.

Important Christmas Booking Update

Due to high Christmas demand, we have now paused Package Checks until after the Christmas order deadline as we currently have a large backlog and can no longer guarantee completion before our Christmas booking deadline of 30 September.

If you'd like a house history for Christmas delivery:

We recommend booking your preferred package directly on our package pages. After booking, we'll conduct initial research and can adjust your package if needed. Should we discover your property isn't suitable for a house history (which is rare), we'll provide a full refund minus a small checking fee.

What’s involved:

Our expert researchers will carry out a tailored online house history check, searching online databases, specialist websites, and archive catalogues to assess the research potential of your home.

Within 7 days, you’ll receive clear results outlining:

• If enough records exist to support a full house history

• Which of our house history packages is the best fit for your home

While we can’t uncover any specifics just yet, this check gives you confidence in what’s possible - and helps you choose the right next step.

We’ll look at records like this 1838 tithe map

Who it’s for:

Our Package Check offers peace of mind before booking a full package.

It’s perfect for:

• Homeowners unsure what kind of story might be possible

• Gift-givers wanting to check first before committing

If you decide to move ahead with a house history package, we’ll immediately refund the cost of your Package Check - so there’s nothing to lose.

What happens next:

1. Fill out a short form about the property

2. Our team begins your search

3. In 7 days or less, you’ll receive our recommendation.

In the rare case (fewer than 5%) where the house is tricky to identify in online records, we’ll provide personalised advice on next steps, including exploring custom research options.
