Data sources and licences

Our figures come from official sources or from typical fees we've checked. This page credits the organisations whose data we reuse, as their licences ask. If you publish data listed here and want something changed, please contact us.

Taxes, fees and rules

Purchase taxes, reliefs and buyer rules come from each country's government and tax authority, credited under "Sources" with every result. Typical selling costs and lending limits come from central banks, tax authorities and established property bodies.

French property sales records may only be reused in ways that can't identify anyone, so we only show totals for a postcode, never a single sale.

Everything else

Exchange rates are examples, which you can change. Anything we can't source officially is labelled as typical or as an estimate.
