Check Local is a UK neighbourhood research service that helps people understand an area before deciding where to move. Covering more than 50,000 neighbourhoods across England, Wales and Scotland, it brings information from over 20 official datasets together in one interactive map and report. Users can search by town, neighbourhood or postcode and explore safety, schools, housing costs, transport, environment and health.

Reports include details such as recorded crime, Ofsted ratings, school catchments, sold prices, rents, flood risk, broadband coverage and nearby healthcare. Figures identify their official source and freshness date, with sources including Police. uk, Ofsted, HM Land Registry, ONS and the Environment Agency.

Check Local also translates local data into concise, plain-English summaries called Rundowns, designed to explain what the figures may mean for living in an area without adding unsupported claims. The core overview is free to use without an account. Its optional Moving Mode subscription adds further written assessments, shortlist comparisons, commute checks, downloadable PDF reports, saved-area alerts and tools for comparing up to four areas at a time
