Hi HN,

I built BrickCheck because I got tired of having 20 tabs open every time I found a house I liked. I wanted to see the actual data (crime rates, internet speeds, school ratings) right next to the listing, without jumping between different government websites.

The Problem: Rightmove and Zoopla give you the sales pitch, but they don't easily show you the "red flags" or the raw financial reality (like true monthly cost vs. yield).

The Solution: BrickCheck is a dashboard that aggregates data from the Land Registry, Ofsted, Police.uk, and Ofcom.

Key Features:

Deep Data: Instantly pulls crime rates, broadband speeds, and school ratings for any postcode.

Smart Stats: Calculates Price/sq ft and calculates stamp duty.

Floorplans: Uses vision analysis to break down room sizes and flag "box rooms" that are listed as double bedrooms.

Financials: You can set your custom Deposit & Mortgage Rate preferences to see the real monthly cost for every property.

Tech Stack: It’s a React/Next.js app wrapped with Capacitor for mobile.

It’s currently in v1. I’d love feedback on which data points you find most critical when comparing homes!
