Survey Decoder
Paste text from a homebuyer survey or condition report and get a calm, plain-English read on what it means — plus the questions to put to your surveyor. It only ever comments on the text you paste.
Copy the findings section from a homebuyer report, condition report or building survey. Don’t include personal details — the tool only needs the survey wording.
Educational, not professional advice. This explains the text you paste in plain English — it is not a survey, and it never looks up your address. Always confirm anything that matters with your own surveyor, solicitor or a structural engineer.
Your plain-English explanation will appear here — a short summary, each finding decoded, and the questions to ask your surveyor.
Questions
About the Survey Decoder
- Is the Survey Decoder professional advice?
- No. It is an educational explainer that translates survey jargon into plain English. It is not a substitute for your surveyor, solicitor or a structural engineer — always confirm anything that matters with a qualified professional.
- Does it know anything about my specific property?
- No. It only comments on the text you paste. It never looks up the address or invents facts about the property — if the pasted text is vague, it says so rather than guessing.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes — a free account (sign-in) is required, and use is rate-limited. This keeps the tool free and stops abuse.
