Editorial policy

How we source information

Every factual claim on this site is attributed to a specific source. We prioritise primary legislation (legislation.gov.uk), government guidance (GOV.UK, HMRC), official statistics (ONS, Land Registry), and established professional commentary (RICS, Savills, Pinsent Masons). Community sources such as forums are flagged as opinion, not authority.

How we reference

Articles use inline hyperlinks to source material within the body text. Every article also carries a numbered Sources section at the bottom, formatted with the source name, publisher, date, URL, and the date we last accessed it.

What this site is not

This site does not provide financial, legal, or tax advice. We report publicly available information and explain it in plain English. We do not make personal recommendations. We link to primary sources so you can verify everything we publish. Our full disclaimer covers this in detail.

Opinion and editorial

Articles in the Opinion section contain editorial commentary. These are clearly labelled. Opinions represent the views of the editorial team and are not personalised advice.

Advertising

This site is funded by advertising. We display ads from Google AdSense (or equivalent network). Advertising relationships have no influence on editorial content. We do not accept payment for favourable coverage or reviews.

Leaderboard methodology

Our leaderboard pages rank businesses using publicly available review data from Google and Trustpilot. Ratings are recorded manually from public-facing review pages and updated periodically. The composite score is a weighted average across platforms, proportional to the number of reviews on each. Full methodology is displayed on every leaderboard page.

If you represent a business listed in our leaderboards and believe the data shown is incorrect, contact us with evidence. We will verify against the source platforms and update accordingly.
