What our HMO data actually covers
Research coverage and legal verification are different things. This public scorecard shows what is available without treating a collected council URL as an approved licensing rule.
English authorities
296
Official administrative identities, of which 39 have indexed council-specific source links.
Council discovery
39
Councils with at least one official source identified in our monitored research manifest.
Official source links
84
Unique official council-source links grouped by authority. These links are not regulatory determinations.
In-depth city dossiers
8
Original long-form guides with official fact citations, investment scenarios and council-specific FAQs, not independently human-verified regulations.
Automated editorial source guides
18
Distinct source-linked owner-approved council research guides. These are NOT legally reviewed or verified licensing determinations.
Search-eligible public pages
117
Distinct allowed URLs in an owner-approved production build. Sitemap eligibility does not mean Google has indexed or ranked the page.
Programmatic API evidence pages
136
Source-linked government direction and geographic metadata dossiers, NOT legally reviewed rules or address clearance. 74 have enough independent evidence for the sitemap; 62 are reference-only (noindex) to prevent thin or overlapping search results. Source collection 2026-10-16.
Government HMO Article 4 source candidates
63
Filtered national source catalogue entries, NOT signed-off directions or complete operative scheme records.
Human-approved records
0
Individually reviewed regulatory records available in the public verified snapshot.
Search-ready verified schemes
0
Individually reviewed scheme records with enough distinct, current evidence to support a published page; not all approved database records qualify.
Reviewed regulatory change reports
0
Change-specific reports with a signed-off scheme, effective date, official notice and separately named reviewer.
Authorities with verified facts
0
Authorities represented by published, human-approved facts; absence does not imply no licensing applies.
Coverage limitation: Official links, published research summaries, licensing boundaries and human-approved records are separate data layers. Our postcode screening is preliminary, and an unknown Article 4 result must not be treated as permission. This page is not a legal clearance service.
