Acceptance

By accessing AreaIQ (areaiq.uk), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

Information only — not professional advice

All content on AreaIQ — including property price data, school ratings, flood risk information, transport data, and mortgage calculations — is provided for general information purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, legal, mortgage, investment, surveying, or property advice. You must not rely on this site as a substitute for professional advice relevant to your specific circumstances.

Always seek advice from a qualified professional before making any property purchasing, financial, or investment decision.

Data accuracy

Data is sourced from public government APIs (HM Land Registry, Ofsted, ONS, Environment Agency) and is published under the Open Government Licence v3. Whilst we take reasonable care to present data accurately, we make no warranty as to the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any information. Data may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors.

House price data reflects completed transactions registered with HM Land Registry. It does not represent current market values, asking prices, or valuations.

Mortgage calculator

The mortgage calculator provides illustrative estimates only. Interest rates shown are not offers and are based on market averages as of the date stated. Your actual mortgage rate will depend on your individual circumstances, credit history, income, and lender criteria. AreaIQ is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide mortgage advice.

Affiliate links

AreaIQ participates in affiliate programmes with selected third parties (including mortgage brokers and conveyancers). We may earn a commission when you click an affiliate link and purchase a product or service. This does not affect the data displayed on this site. Affiliate relationships are disclosed where applicable.

The design, code, and editorial content of AreaIQ (excluding government open data, which is licensed under OGL v3) is owned by AreaIQ and may not be reproduced without permission. Open data used on this site is attributed to the relevant government source and licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AreaIQ accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on any information provided on this site. This includes but is not limited to: financial loss from property transactions, loss from mortgage decisions made on the basis of calculator results, or inaccuracies in school, flood risk, or transport data.

External links

AreaIQ contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those websites. Links to affiliate partners are clearly labelled where required by advertising standards.
