Why trust this?
Every figure on this site traces back to a named official source — never a guess, never a proprietary model dressed up as fact, never something scraped from a listings site without a licence to use it. Here's exactly how that works, and just as importantly, what we deliberately don't show and why.
How each check works
Almost everything in a report is queried live, at the moment you search, directly against the government or public body that actually holds the data — not a cache of scraped listings, not a third-party aggregator's re-packaging of someone else's numbers. A handful of checks (school Ofsted ratings, census demographics, air quality) come from periodic bulk files the relevant body publishes, imported on our own schedule rather than live, since that's genuinely how those particular datasets are distributed — every such case is labelled as such inline, in that card's own detail view.
What we deliberately don't show
The property-data market has real gaps that no free source fills. Rather than paper over them with an estimate, a model, or someone else's licensed data, we say so plainly. If it isn't listed below, it's because we found a genuine free source for it.
