# Crystal Roof Acquires StreetCheck

Crystal Roof has acquired Streetcheck, one of the UK’s most widely used postcode and neighbourhood data websites.

Streetcheck aggregates publicly available datasets such as census statistics, crime data, and housing information into a simple postcode search. Over the years, it has built a recognisable presence for people researching areas across the UK.

This acquisition represents a **strategic expansion** for Crystal Roof as the demand for upfront, transparent neighbourhood information continues to grow.

## Why We Acquired Streetcheck

Streetcheck is a well-established postcode data website with a significant audience and traffic.

By bringing Streetcheck into Crystal Roof, more people will have access to the most comprehensive neighbourhood research available.

This acquisition helps ensure more users can explore areas with greater transparency, richer context, and more actionable insights, supporting better-informed property decisions across the UK.

## What This Means for Streetcheck Users

Streetcheck users will gain access to a significantly more powerful way to research neighbourhoods.

As Streetcheck is integrated into Crystal Roof, you’ll move beyond static postcode data to a richer, more complete view of any area. This includes:

- Clear, easy-to-understand **area ratings** across key factors.
- Interactive **heatmaps** that reveal patterns you can’t see in tables and charts.
- **Area reviews** from locals, offering real-world perspectives on what it’s like to live there.
- Deep **school analysis**, helping you understand education options beyond basic ratings.
- A wider range of data points, including **noise levels**, **flood risk**, **deprivation**, **income**, and more.

Instead of piecing together information from multiple sources, you’ll be able to understand a neighbourhood quickly and confidently in one place.

## Looking Ahead

The expectation for transparency in the property market is growing. People want to understand not only the property they are considering but also the area around it.

By acquiring Streetcheck, Crystal Roof enables home buyers and renters to research neighbourhoods independently, providing clearer insight and helping make the **real estate market fairer** and more transparent.
