What a report contains varies by property and by what the sources hold. Every report states what was found, what was not, and the date we looked.
Our promise

A report you can trust is one that shows its work.

Every line has a source

Each entry names where it came from and is tagged by how it is known, so you can tell a public record from a claim.

Every entry has a date

You always see when something happened and when we last looked, so you know how current the picture is.

About the home, not the people

Deedlore reports on the property. Where we found nothing, we say so plainly rather than leave you guessing.
