Accessibility statement for open data applications: Price Paid Data (PPD) explorer, standard reports builder and UK House Price Index (UKHPI)

This website is run by HM Land Registry. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We believe that most of this website is compliant with the requirements of Web Contents Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA standard. The PPD explorer, standard reports builder, and UKHPI should not present any obstacles to users with disabilities. If you do find problems accessing these sections, please let us know.

We know that the SPARQL Qonsole on this website is not fully accessible. In particular, we note the following issues:

  • Background and foreground colours do not have sufficient contrast ratio
    This fails WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Level AA)
  • Some input fields do not have associated labels in HTML
    This fails WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A)
  • Lists do not contain only <li> elements and script supporting elements (<script> and <template>)
    This fails WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A)
  • User cannot progress past main text area using tab key alone
    This fails WCAG 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap

The SPARQL Qonsole is a technical interface supporting visual query development. We are working on an update to the SPARQL Qonsole to generally improve accessibility. We expect this update to be completed by the end of March 2023.
