Property watch

A visit to your property every quarter: photos, whether anyone was seen there and any visible signs of occupation, the council rates statement and a Deeds Registry search, with any change since the last visit highlighted.

Usual time
First visit within 10 working days
Service fee
USD 280
Fees paid to others (at cost)
Travel at cost

    Every fee, the usual time and what the office needs

    If something changes, such as people seen where no one was seen before, or rising arrears, we message you with the facts and the photos the same day the report is ready.

    Usually 5 to 10 working days

    Usual times are our current estimate for each step. Offices set their own pace.

    What we do

    • Our team visits the property once a quarter and photographs it, with the place and time recorded for each photo.
    • We ask the council for the rates statement and search the Deeds Registry record. The report says if either could not be obtained.
    • After each visit, the report is added to your subscription in the app. If something has changed since the last visit, we message you with the facts and the photos.

    What you do

    • Add the property, its deed reference and the council account number if you have them.
    • Upload a document that shows you own the property or may act for the owner.

    Order received

    Upload photos or certified copies and give the details the office asks for. You confirm the details are true before you send.

    The first period is charged, USD 280. Fees paid to others are charged just before each visit.

    Checked by two people before anything is lodged

    One member of our team reviews the order. A second person checks the documents again. Both checks are recorded against the order, with the time and the name.

    • Intake check

    • Second check, by a different person

    Visit each quarter

    Our team searches the Deeds Registry record, visits the property and photographs it. Each photo carries its place, the time our server received it and a file fingerprint.

    A visit, a report, and the fees paid to others at cost

    After each visit the report is added to your subscription with the photos and what our team saw. Fees paid to others, such as travel or a council statement, are charged just before the visit and the receipt is added once paid.
