Houzecheck has seen its surveying volumes increase by 75% over the course of 2025, following investment by Beach Capital.

The surveying proptech firm leverages cloud, digital and AI technologies to improve both the surveyors’ and customer experience.

At the end of 2024, Beach Capital invested in Houzecheck and made a series of strategic hires, including Paul Latham as chairman and the mortgage valuation veteran, Richard Sexton, as commercial director.

Sexton said: "Beach Capital’s investment has supercharged our growth engine – we have seen volume rise by 75% in the last year. The market is hungry for faster, smarter surveying. By blending chartered surveyor rigour with proptech speed, we have cut the average time it takes to get a report completed and delivered down to between 2¾-three days – which is not bad considering a building survey takes a day to complete.

"And we aren’t sacrificing quality in our quest for speed; the quality of Houzecheck’s reports remains high and we still haven’t had a PI claim. Our tech insists that the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed by prompting surveyors to report accurately and consistently and offering suggestions linked to their inputs. That combination of speed and quality is proving very powerful."

Houzecheck said that it has "outstripped growth in residential property transactions" by building partnerships with intermediaries who can refer business, while earning additional passive income. This has tripled since January 2024, accelerating particularly over the last 10 months.

Founder and chief executive at Houzecheck, Amit Bansal, added: "Once they’re registered, it can take a broker as little as 20 seconds to mention it to their client, and 10 seconds to click a link to send them the details. It’s very little effort to earn some extra cash. Perhaps unsurprisingly then, much of our growth over the last year has come from our [mortgage broker] partners who tell us the system is friction-free and seamless."
