About Us
We Built the Tool We Wished We'd Had When We Bought Our First Home.
Finding a home is emotional. You fall in love with the bay windows, the garden space, and the potential for Sunday roasts in the kitchen. But as parents and homeowners, we know that a home is more than just bricks and mortar—it is the environment that shapes your family’s future.
Our Mission
Know Your Area was born out of a simple frustration: transparency shouldn’t be this hard to find.
We realised that while estate agents show you the best of a property, finding the truth about the surrounding area required visiting dozens of different websites. We wanted to know about property prices and affordability, school ratings and results, health care facilities, broadband availability, detailed crime rates, radon gas, power plants, waste dumps, and flood risks—all in one place.
We built Know Your Area to be the tool we wished we’d had when we were moving.
