Every meaningful change to AreaCheck, newest first.
For some reports created, the broadband part of the report no longer shows the same coverage and take up figures three times over. This has now been fixed for all existing and future reports going forward.
The section menu on the left of your report now stays in view as you scroll, and correctly highlights whichever section you're currently reading.
If you've asked your device to reduce motion, the score chart and page scrolling now respect that. Anyone navigating the site by keyboard will also see a much clearer indicator of where they are on the page.
A clear visual break now separates each part of your report, so it's easier to see where one section ends and the next begins.
Genuine deal breakers, like an active enforcement notice or a Vacant/Derelict Register listing, now sit in their own clearly marked panel near the top of your report, with a count so you know exactly how many things to check before you sign.
Before you dig into the detail, you'll see your overall score, the verdict, and every scoring category at a glance, with a link straight down to the full explanation if you want it.
If you searched an address and clicked "Sign up to save this address," it used to sit there unsaved until you searched and clicked Save again yourself. Now it's saved to your shortlist automatically as soon as you confirm your account.
Bus and rail stops that Ireland's National Transport Authority has withdrawn are no longer counted as nearby transport in a report, so you won't be looking at a stop that no longer runs.
If you try to save an address to your shortlist that's already saved, you'll now see "Already in your shortlist" instead of ending up with two copies of the same entry.
If you searched an address on the map and clicked "Sign up to save this address," that address is now carried all the way through signup, email confirmation and onboarding, and lands you back on it afterwards. Previously it was sometimes dropped and you had to search and save it again by hand.
Signed in and saved an address before? Your dashboard now shows a shortlist strip with a quick count and a link straight through to your full shortlist, so it is no longer buried a click away.
On the sample report, the Share button's label was dropping to just "Share" on smaller screens for anyone using a screen reader. It now always reads "Share report", properly describing what it does.
The "Thank you, your payment went through" heading now lines up neatly with the green tick, and the email your report is sent to is shown in full instead of partly hidden, so you can check at a glance that it's going to the right address.
A promo/discount code field was missing from the report checkout page, so a discount code could never be applied. It is now visible and working.
While taking the report example guided tour, clicking Accept or Decline on the cookie banner could silently fail to register on the first click. This is fixed, the banner now responds immediately every time.
Previously, the cookie consent banner could reappear on some reloads, even after Accept or Decline had already been clicked, and then stop responding to clicks. It now correctly remembers your choice and stays away on return visits.
After paying for a report, buyers now see a clear "Thank you, your payment went through" confirmation showing the report address, amount paid, and email, along with a live progress view while the report is building. It opens automatically the moment the report is ready, so there is no more silent wait after paying.
We've updated our database infrastructure and added a huge amount of new datapoints, including planning applications and property sales. Tens of thousands of new records added to what AreaCheck already tracks makes our reports and analysis even better. The "records indexed" counter on the homepage now reflects that growing dataset in real time, so you can see exactly how much ground AreaCheck covers before you even search an address.
A small number of free Area Snapshot cards were showing an internal council code instead of a readable zoning type. These now show a plain label like "Residential" or "Green and open space".
In the rare case your AreaCheck Report can't be generated after payment, you're now refunded automatically and told straight away, no need to contact us.
You can now save any address straight from the map, build a shortlist, and compare addresses side by side. Create a free account to start tracking one and we'll flag it if anything changes.
The "Save & track" button now says exactly what it does, so it's obvious you don't need an account just to browse the map and search an address.
if you drop a pin in the sea, a lake, or anywhere without a valid address, the map will let you know and ask you to try again on land.
When you search an address or drop a pin, the map now shows you real planning activity, radon risk, zoning and transport data for that location for free. No account or payment needed to see it.
