The history report for homes

One clear report. A complete documented history from reliable sources, so you and your family can decide with peace of mind.

Every home has a past the listing leaves out. A property history report shows it: what was permitted, what is on record, what hazard zones apply and what the area looks like. Deedlore builds that report for any Los Angeles County address in seconds.

What a home history report covers

• Building permits and their status, including open or unfinished work
• Code enforcement and building and safety cases
• Zoning and lot details
• Flood, fire, earthquake fault, liquefaction and landslide zones
• Nearby crime counts for the area

Why it matters before you buy

A listing shows photos and a price. It does not show a stalled permit, an old code case or the hazard zone the lot sits in. Finding these before you make an offer gives you leverage and avoids surprises after closing.

What it is not

It is not an inspection, appraisal or legal advice. Use it alongside a licensed inspector and your agent.

Deedlore covers addresses in the City of Los Angeles for Stay Checks, and Los Angeles County addresses for reports where available. Reports draw on information from local and federal government agencies and other independent sources as of the date shown, describe properties and not people, and are not legal advice. Deedlore is not a consumer reporting agency, and reports may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, insurance or tenancy. Deedlore is not affiliated with Airbnb, Vrbo or any booking platform.
