About Postcode Facts
Postcode Facts is an independent website with free tools for people buying, renting or living in a home in the UK. It brings together what the official registers say about a postcode, and works out the fixed costs and rules that come with buying and renting.
Why it exists
The information is public, but it is spread across a dozen government sites, each covering one nation or one record. Most calculators also assume England. We wanted one place that explains each record in plain English, asks where the home is, and shows its working so you can check it.
Who is behind it
Sam Ashdown, editor
Sam Ashdown is the pen name of the independent editor who runs Postcode Facts. Sam maintains the property and postcode tools and checks tax bands and fees against HMRC, Revenue Scotland, the Welsh Revenue Authority and HM Land Registry whenever they change.
Sam isn't a conveyancer, surveyor or tax adviser, and nothing on Postcode Facts is legal or financial advice.
How the site is funded
The site will be funded by advertising. Advertisers have no say over what we write or how the tools work. If we ever add affiliate links, we will label them next to the link.
