Accessibility statement
UK House Prices aims to make official sold-price data usable by everyone who needs it — home buyers, sellers, agents and researchers — including visitors who use a keyboard, a screen reader or a magnifier.
Conformance status
Partially conformant. UK House Prices aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We have not completed a formal external audit, and some of the dense data tables and map views still need manual screen-reader testing. This page states that plainly instead of claiming full conformance.
What is implemented
- Semantic landmarks, one main heading per page and a skip link to the content.
- Search, filters and table sorting are reachable and usable with the keyboard, with visible focus states.
- Body-text contrast target of at least 4.5:1 and layouts that reflow on small screens.
- Data tables use header cells so screen readers can announce row and column context.
- Key figures are also written as text next to charts and summaries.
Known limitations
- Some wide sold-price and comparison tables on narrow screens need zooming rather than perfect reflow.
- The interactive map is partially usable with a keyboard; the spatial data behind each area is also available as a table or text list.
- When a filter updates a result list, the change is not always announced through a live region.
- Third-party scripts (analytics) are outside our control and may not meet the same standard.
How we test
Keyboard-only passes on search, area guides and the sold-price tables; 200% zoom and narrow-viewport checks; manual screen-reader spot checks. We do not yet have automated accessibility regression coverage.
