The answer, with a chartered
surveyor’s name on it.
The fuzzy questions about a home get answered by a forum, a builder with reasons to be optimistic, or a £656 survey. Tickover gives you a property-aware draft for free, then a chartered professional who verifies it and stands behind the answer.
Free to ask. Pay only when you need it to count.
Most questions are answered by the free draft. Upgrade the ones you need to show someone, a buyer, a council, a solicitor, or your landlord.
Free in under a minute
A property-aware draft, not a generic search
Ask the question. Tickover answers against your actual property record, the age, the postcode, the conservation status, the boiler, the EPC, not a search box that knows nothing about your home.
- Reads your property dossier, not just your question
- A clear written answer in under 60 seconds
- Marked as unverified, so you know exactly what it is
- One tap to upgrade to a verified answer

A chartered professional puts their name on it
An MRICS surveyor, RTPI planner or ARB architect reviews the draft, corrects it, signs the PDF and attaches their qualifications and professional indemnity insurance. The tick of approval: branded, dated, defensible.
- Verified by a named, chartered professional
- A sealed PDF you can show a buyer, a council or a solicitor
- Standard answer in 24 hours, express in 4
- Upgrade in-flow to an instructed Level 2 or 3 survey
The questions that sit above “something broke”.
Not “book a plumber”. The judgement calls you would normally pay a professional a few hundred pounds to even start looking at.
- “Do I need planning permission for a side extension on a 1908 end-of-terrace?”
- “Is this damp patch rising, penetrating, or just condensation?”
- “My EPC is a D. What three changes pay back fastest?”
- “The survey flagged movement. How worried should I actually be?”
- “Can my landlord charge me for this, or is it fair wear and tear?”
- “Is the quote I have been given fair for this job, in this area?”
Property-aware, AI-drafted, human-verified. Nobody else in the UK ships this.
Lawhive proved this shape in law. Resi proved it in architecture. The property surveying and planning corner was empty. This is Tickover’s.
Property-aware, not generic
A general AI tool knows nothing about your home. Tickover answers against your dossier: the year it was built, the conservation area, the EPC, the boiler model.
Verified by a chartered professional
Not a forum, not a confident builder. A named MRICS surveyor, RTPI planner or ARB architect, with qualifications and PI insurance attached to the answer.
A defensible artefact
A dated, sealed, signed PDF. The kind of document a buyer’s solicitor, a planning officer or a deposit-dispute service will actually accept.
In hours, not weeks
A free draft in under a minute. A verified answer in 24 hours as standard, or 4 hours on express. A full survey takes a fortnight and starts at £656.
