Laura looks after Domovita's relationships with estate agents - she talks to agents about listing their properties on Domovita. She does not write or review our guides: they are written by the Domovita editorial team, to the rules below.
How our guides are written
Property guidance is the kind of content where a wrong date or threshold causes real harm, so we write our guides to these editorial rules:
- Primary sources. We check every legal, financial or regulatory specific against an official source - gov.uk, legislation.gov.uk, HMRC, the deposit protection schemes - and we are working through our guides so that each one is linked where it appears.
- Check it or cut it. If we cannot confirm a figure or rule against an official source, we leave it out. Where a deadline or penalty matters to you and changes often, we name it and link the official page so you can see the current figure.
- Fact-checked before publication. Most of our guides have had a second, adversarial pass where each claim must trace to a source or be reworded - and that pass regularly catches and fixes real errors before you see them.
- Dated. Most of our guides carry a visible "Last reviewed" date showing when the guide was last checked against its sources, and we rewrite guides when the law changes - the Renters' Rights Act, the DMCC Act and MEES have all forced rewrites, and you should expect more.
What we will not do
Our guides are general information, not legal or financial advice, and they say so. We don't dress opinion up as law, we don't quote figures we can't source, and where a decision genuinely needs a professional - a solicitor, a conveyancer, an accountant - the guide tells you to get one.
