Our publishing rules

Editorial standards

The rules Door Number holds itself to when it presents public records.

Last updated 6 September 2026

The rules behind the page

  • Sourced or not shown. Every significant claim names its source and dates in the rendered page. If we cannot source it, we do not publish it.
  • No invented data. No fabricated UPRNs, prices, sizes, tenure, bands, journey times or quality judgements. Absent values are shown as “—”.
  • Records, statistics and context are kept distinct. An official record is never presented as a Door Number estimate, and vice versa.
  • No AI-generated imagery presented as real. Photographs are used only where a licence permits and the author is credited.
  • Honest availability. When a source is down we show the last confirmed information with its date, or hide the section — we never imply data is live when it is not.
  • One page per property. Address-based canonical URLs; alternative and legacy URLs redirect. Thin pages are excluded from search indexing until they carry useful data.
  • Not advice. Door Number is information, not property, legal or financial advice, and not a valuation.

Accountability
