Address Lens is built on official public data. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each publish their own, so what we can check depends on where the home is. Where we can't check something, it's marked Not yet below, and the property page says "Not checked" rather than showing it as all clear. The property page doesn't say so yet for crime in Scotland and public transport in Northern Ireland: there it can show little or nothing, which doesn't mean there is nothing to find.
