While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Glitchy website and inaccurate information

I tried the site this evening out of curiosity, but it was not very user friendly on a mobile and had a number of dead links. Further, I don’t believe the property informations is up to scratch. I wouldn’t use it again.

Hi Richard, thank you for your message! It would be very helpful to understand which links weren't working for you - our free consumer web experience adapts to the quality of a user's Internet connection, so it is possible that you experienced timeouts rather than broken links. Any further information you can share would be extremely helpful - our team is very responsive, and we review any issues extremely quickly.

Best,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologise for the confusion – our reports are purely informational and not property listings.

At the very top of every report we state:

Free Chimnie Property Report
This is not a sales listing – Chimnie provides data reports for every British property.

If you have any ideas on how we could make this even clearer, or on where you’d expect to see such a message, we’d love to hear them. Your feedback helps us improve our platform for everyone.

Best,

The Chimnie Team

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Chimnie’s reports helped you compare homes both within your chosen area and across the wider UK. Making data genuinely useful - whether you’re weighing up neighbourhoods or looking at national trends - is exactly what we aim for.

If you ever spot anything we could do to make those comparisons clearer, or if there’s another type of insight you’d find handy, please let us know. Your feedback helps us keep improving.

Best,

Hi Jill, if you scroll to the bottom of the property page and hit "Satellite" you'll see an aerial image. On the search page you can hit the icon in the top right of the map to change to aerial imagery.

The distance we share (currently) is as the crow flies (rather than walking or driving), but we're working on future functionality to provide multi-modal distances.

We do omit some smaller shops (we only show the closest independent supermarket and restaurant for example) but all of them are factored into our scoring.

I hope this is helpful! If you have any more questions, comments or ideas please don't hesitate to share!
