Peace-of-Mind for Home-Buyers

Objective, Unbiased + Independent Property Evaluations

Co. Cork
Dear Home-buyer

Thank you for ordering a mini-HomeCheck..

We understand that buying a home is the biggest purchasing decision most people will
ever make. Getting a mini-HomeCheck is a great first step in getting yourself prepared
for that decision.
However, we strongly recommend that before you even view a property you get the full
HomeCheck report for that property. This full HomeCheck is packed with property
specific information which will help your decision-making and will give you the edge over
other bidders for this property.
With the full HomeCheck our team is standing by to assist you as you home-hunt and we
provide you with a home-buying expert in your corner to help you save time, money and
stress as you buy your new home.
Happy home-hunting! !

Emmet and the Lintil Team

 What is the Mini-HomeCheck?

A full-HomeCheck rates, analyses and comments on the condition of over 25 key aspects
of the property. Ratings are out of 5 (where 5/5 is the best and 1/5 is the worst) and the
overall rating is a percentage (with 100% being the condition of a brand new home)
The full-HomeCheck also contains estimates of the essential and optional costs
associated with each of these 25+ key aspects of the property as well as estimates of all
the fees you’ll incur while buying this property.
This mini-HomeCheck is a 4-number summary of the rating and cost estimates that are
detailed in the full-HomeCheck.
 The Condition Rating
HomeCheck rates over 25 key aspects of property on the 5 point scale in the table below
where the assessment is based on aspects such as:
● expected lifespan
● visible signs of wear
● current standards and building regulations.

Rating Meaning
1/5 Immediate replacement or upgrade required
2/5 Immediate repair needed, replacement required within next 18 months
3/5 No urgent work required but home-buyer may wish to upgrade soon
4/5 Good condition and no upgrade required for at least a few years
5/5 New or upgraded in the past 12 months. No work required for 5+ years

For example, the following kitchens are rated as follows:

2/5
This kitchen appears to be over 10 years old so it is
nearing the end of its expected lifespan. There are
also visible signs of wear on the doors.
4/5
This kitchen appears to be less than 5 years old,
but is not new. It has more than 10 years of its
expected lifespan left and there are no signs of
wear.

We then aggregate all 25 ratings into a single percentage so you can think of the
Condition Rating in this mini-HomeCheck as follows:

0%-20% 20%-40% 40%-60% 60%-80% 80%-100%

Major upgrades Immediate work Some immediate Minor upgrades No upgrades
required before you needed. Unlikely you upgrades needed. You needed over the should be needed
can move in can move in just yet can probably move in next 18 months in the next 5 years
 Is a HomeCheck the same as a property survey?
In a word, No! HomeCheck uses a tech-led approach to analyse properties listed for sale
and so we do not need to physically access the property like conventional surveyors.
A HomeCheck gives a preliminary analysis of the condition of a property and estimates
the cost of any remedial or upgrade work that may be required. As we can leverage the
cost saving benefits of tech, we can offer a HomeCheck for a fraction of the cost of a
pre-purchase property survey.

How do we carry out a HomeCheck?

HomeCheck uses the following techniques to conduct our analysis.

Image analysis
The property listing images are analysed in great detail

Listing analysis
We interrogate the listing text for potential issues with the property

Data mining
We mine numerous publicly available data sources for information

AI techniques
We interpolate from the available data to give a fuller analysis

Building regulations
All analysis is based on the latest building regulations

Expert opinion
All of this information is then interpreted by a property expert
