Methodology
How Buyer Compass works
Buyer Compass is built to help London property buyers think more clearly, not to overwhelm them with generic listings or overconfident claims.
The approach combines practical buyer-side judgement, structured research, and clear boundaries around what Buyer Compass does and does not claim.

What shapes our resources
Practical buyer questions
Focus stays on the recurring questions buyers actually face: trade-offs, area filtering, leasehold friction, pre-viewing judgement, and decision structure.
Source-led context
Where factual context matters, Buyer Compass relies on credible source categories such as GOV.UK, Land Registry, ONS, Bank of England, borough planning material, and other reputable public or commercial sources where appropriate.
Clear separation
The aim is to distinguish facts, interpretation, and opinion rather than blending them together carelessly.
Bounded guidance
Buyer Compass is a decision-support brand, not a substitute for legal, mortgage, tax, valuation, or regulated professional advice.

What Buyer Compass is designed to do
Buyer Compass is designed to help buyers ask better questions, filter options more intelligently, and approach property decisions with more structure.
It is not designed to provide certainty, guaranteed outcomes, or regulated professional advice. Where specialist advice is needed, buyers should still rely on qualified professionals.
