## How to use the guides

Start with the guide that matches your decision, then follow the related links for the surrounding context. Buyers can begin with the purchase and mortgage guides. Owners and sellers may want the value, evidence and cost explanations first. If a report will be used by a lender or another institution, confirm its current requirements directly with that organisation.

The [comparison page](/en/compare-property-valuers/) brings the selection criteria together, while [contact](/en/contact/) is available for questions about the site’s sources or structure.

Keep the purpose of the report in view as you read. The same property information can be used in different decisions, but the recipient, date and accepted method can change the work that is needed.
