How we work

Who runs this site, how survey enquiries are passed on, and what happens after you send one.

Who runs this site

Know Your House Type is owned and run by Tailored Digital, a web business run by Tom Kitchen-Dunn. We are not surveyors ourselves. Our guides are free general information. They are not a survey, legal advice or mortgage advice. Email: tom@tailoreddigital.co.uk.

We don't carry out surveys ourselves. We don't give mortgage, legal or financial advice, and we don't recommend lenders.

Our survey partner and how we are paid

The guides are free. If you ask for a survey quote through our form, we pass your enquiry to our survey partner, LKD Surveying and Consulting Ltd. They pay us a fee when a referral leads to work. That is our only source of income from this site.

Survey enquiries are passed to our partner LKD Surveying and Consulting Ltd, who pay us a fee for successful referrals.

Because we are paid for referrals to one firm, we do not describe this site as independent. We do aim to make every guide accurate and useful whether or not you ever ask for a quote.

If you tick the box asking us to, we send your enquiry to LKD Surveying and Consulting Ltd, our survey partner, so they can contact you about a quote. We do not send it to any other firm. We don't sell your details. Enquiries go only to the partner named above.

Where we take enquiries

We take enquiries from anywhere in the UK and pass them to one partner firm. If LKD Surveying and Consulting Ltd cannot help with your property, we will tell you. We will not pass your details to any other firm unless you give separate consent that names that firm.

What happens next

  1. We pass your enquiry to LKD Surveying and Consulting Ltd.
  2. They contact you to discuss the home and what you need the report for.
  3. They give you a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.

We'll reply within 1 working day. Please keep an eye on your email, including your junk folder.

How we use your details: see our privacy notice. To ask for a quote, use the survey enquiry form.
