The Property Searches Direct team collaborating in the office

About Us

Property Searches Direct is a UK-based provider of regulated property searches used by homebuyers, sellers, and conveyancers.

We work closely with all stakeholders in the home moving process to drive maximum efficiencies and support better collaboration for all involved.

Property Searches Direct is helping to improve the experiences that people have when moving home. We help home buyers to turbo-charge their purchase transactions by buying their searches right at the start of the transaction and genuinely firing the starting pistol for the conveyancing process.

We help conveyancers to improve upon their levels of customer service with our brand Conveyancer Insights. This enables them to clearly identify how they can improve with client engagement and deliver better experiences.

Web Assistant

I'm the newest member of the Property Searches Direct team. I'm available 24 hours a day 365 days a year. I get really upset when people refer to me as a 'bot' — I'm much more than that, I'm an AI assistant because I know everything about what we are trying to do to help home movers. Just ask.

We are available to help identify the reports most suited for the transaction and deliver bespoke solutions for home movers when required.
