After the report
The report is where it starts, not where it ends.
- Viewing Toolkit. Questions generated from your property’s own risks, so an EPC of E becomes a question about minimum energy standards, not a number you forget to mention.

We query 10 public and government sources directly, including the EPC Register, the Environment Agency, Police.uk, Ofcom and HM Land Registry. Every figure in a report is labelled with its source.
Each data point is shown with its source and, where relevant, a match confidence. EPC records are matched by UPRN or exact address where possible, and anything estimated or matched only at postcode level is labelled as such.
No. PadAudit provides data to support your decisions. You must verify critical details before signing a tenancy.
A list of questions generated for your specific property, based on the risks the audit uncovers, so you know exactly what to ask the agent.
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Coverage of individual sources varies by nation, and a report tells you when a source has no data for an address.
