Terms of Service

Use of this site is on the terms below. They exist to be clear about what published guidance is and what it is not.

Amendments

Amendments to these terms take effect when they are published on this page. No separate notice is given, so the page itself is the reference.

Information, Not Professional Advice

These guides address the typical case, never a particular property. A qualified professional assessing the property in person is the appropriate source for that, and their assessment takes precedence over anything written in advance.

Use at Your Own Risk

Acting on this material is done at the reader's own risk. No responsibility is accepted for any resulting expense or loss, so far as the law allows.

External Links

Where an outside site is linked, it is because it is relevant. It is not because it is vouched for: its content and conduct are its own responsibility.

Copyright

Copyright in the material here is retained. A brief quotation with attribution and a link is fine, wholesale reproduction is not permitted.

Accuracy

Reasonable care goes into keeping the content accurate. Standards and costs shift over time, and a reader should confirm anything that materially affects a decision.
