Accessibility statement

BuyLand.co.uk is run by Malden Ltd. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website — to read our guides, run a free valuation, and check a plot of land before buying it — regardless of ability or the technology they use.

What we're aiming for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA wherever we reasonably can. In practice that means we work to make sure you can:

  • read text comfortably, with sufficient colour contrast throughout;
  • navigate the site with a keyboard alone;
  • use the site with a screen reader, with meaningful headings, labels and link text;
  • zoom to 200% without content breaking or overlapping;
  • use the site on a phone as fully as on a desktop.

What we've done so far

  • Semantic HTML with a logical heading structure on every page, and descriptive alt text on images.
  • Colour contrast reviewed against WCAG AA across the site, including the footer and article listings.
  • Forms with visible labels, clear error messages, and keyboard-accessible controls.
  • Reports presented in plain English, with severity conveyed by labelled chips — never by colour alone.
  • No content that flashes, auto-plays or moves in ways that can't be paused.

Known limitations

Some parts of the site are harder to make fully accessible, and we're upfront about them:

  • The interactive map on the plot checker relies on visually selecting or drawing a boundary. There's no fully non-visual equivalent for that step yet. If the map is a barrier for you, contact us with the plot's postcode or address and we'll set the report up for you at no extra cost.
  • PDF reports mirror the web report. The web version is the more accessible of the two and contains everything the PDF does.
  • Some older blog images may have generic alt text; we're improving these as articles are refreshed.

Tell us about a problem

If anything on this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, we genuinely want to know. Email [email protected] or use the contact form — please mention the page, what you were trying to do, and the technology you were using. We aim to respond within two working days, and accessibility fixes go to the front of the queue.
