@Bridge Fair point, and something we should probably spell out more clearly on the About page. We're a small independent team, not a law firm and not affiliated with any council or solicitor. The site started because a couple of us had rotten experiences with neighbours and found the existing advice online either too vague or buried in legal jargon, so we built plain guides and free tools to help people work out their options. Nothing here is legal advice, and we don't take referral fees from solicitors. I'll flag your comment internally so we get a proper About section written up.

Hi,
I'm impressed by your website and what it does but there is nothing here who tell us who you are and why you are doing what you do! Are you a community group, a legal firm adopting new marketing techniques, or a one person band? Could you explain, please? It would help build trust to have these questions clarified. Thank you
