Data sources & licences
The source table explains where our records come from and the licences stated for them. Property information, public datasets and editorial advice are different kinds of evidence. None of the stored records establishes live availability or an inspection.

Photograph provenance
Photographs come from the existing site library and later property-source imports. This does not mean every residence supplied its images directly. Source provenance and permission to reuse an image are separate records; we do not assert a blanket licence. Contact the team about image credits or permissions.
How we label evidence
- Official fact: published by a public body, shown as published.
- Observed: seen by us on a named source on a stated date.
- Calculated: derived by us from official data using the method stated.
Freshness
Local evidence comes from a snapshot dated 23 September 2026, due for review by 23 December 2026. “Not collected yet” means missing data, rather than a measured zero.
How we prepare planning guidance
The copy uses published accommodation records and local datasets, with AI-assisted writing. The residence confirms the apartment, facilities and availability when quoting.
Property context uses recorded TfL transport and cycle information. Food Standards Agency ratings are retained in food guides for named venues; hygiene ratings are not reviews of food quality. Bike-station records are not live bike availability. Distances use postcode centres, not entrances or routed walks. Existing, more complete local transport and map data has been retained rather than replaced by the older stored copy.
