About Homecode

How Homecode relates to sortmyhouse.co.uk

Homecode is the public name of this website. It is the name you see in the header, in page titles and in our guidance. sortmyhouse.co.uk is the production web address of the same service.

They are not two different businesses. If you arrived at sortmyhouse.co.uk, you are on Homecode. If a page talks about Homecode, it is talking about the site published at that domain.

What this site is

Homecode publishes evidence-led guidance for people looking after a home in the United Kingdom. The aim is to help you see what official and other published records say, where those records stop, and what a cautious next step might be.

• Repair and improvement guides that start from the symptom or the job, not from a sales pitch.
• Cautious cost and grant tools that keep missing figures visibly missing.
• Safety-first notes on diagnostic and alarm products, with commercial relationships disclosed.
• Local context from HM Land Registry sale prices for England and Wales postcode sectors. Energy Performance Certificate records are not connected yet.

What this site is not

This is a publishing and tools site. It is not a contracting business, a surveyor, an installer or an insurer.

• We do not inspect your home, issue certificates or carry out work.
• We do not give a contract price, a valuation or a guarantee that a repair will succeed.
• We do not replace Gas Safe, NICEIC or other licensed professionals on safety-critical jobs.
• We do not invent a missing official record so that a page looks complete.

Data sources and limits

Where a page uses a public dataset, it should say so and keep the limits of that dataset in view. Coverage, age and licence terms vary by source. A blank, “unavailable” or “not published” state is a finding, not a gap we fill with an estimate.

Product shop links, where they appear, are a limited and commercially connected selection. They are not an independent review of the whole market. The method is explained on the kit methodology page.

Who is responsible

The public brand of the site is Homecode. The production domain is sortmyhouse.co.uk. The legal name of the operator, any company number and any registered office will appear here only after the owner supplies them. Until then, use the contact page for the channel that has been published, and treat unpublished company details as unpublished rather than assumed.
