Every figure, with its source

One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

The sentence each figure was read from (13)

Read in full, publishes no figure

35 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

13 of the 48 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 35 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 315 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per agent per branch per service tier: the headline percentage, whether it is quoted inclusive or exclusive of VAT (the single largest source of confusion in this market and a difference of a fifth), the minimum fee, the set-up fee, and the named extras - renewal, inventory, inspection, deposit registration, notice drafting.

Across them the figures nobody publishes: the median and spread of the all-in annual cost at a real local rent level, by region and by tier; the share of agents that publish a schedule at all; the gap between the advertised percentage and the effective percentage once minimums and set-up fees are amortised over a twelve-month tenancy; and repriced-since.

315 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
