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.

Not Advice for Your Job

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.

Intellectual Property

Copyright in the material here is retained. Quoting a short passage with a link back is welcome; republishing a page in full is not.

External Links

Links to third party sites are provided where they are useful. A link is a pointer, not a recommendation of whoever is at the other end of it.

Accuracy

Reasonable care goes into keeping the content accurate. No guarantee is offered that every statement is correct or current: codes are amended, products are discontinued, and prices move.

Use at Your Own Risk

Responsibility for how the information is used rests with the reader. To the extent permitted by law, no liability arises from its use.

Changes

These terms may be revised. Whatever appears here when a reader visits is the operative version.
