Delora

Claims dataset

Every rule, threshold and figure behind Delora's buying guides, with its source and the date it was last checked. Free to download and reuse with attribution.

Delora's guides and tools read their stamp duty scales, grant amounts, deposit rules, contract rules and planning controls from one catalogue of claims, each traced to the body that sets it. This page publishes that catalogue as data: 1,040 current claims and 1 superseded ones kept for history, each with its jurisdiction, primary source and the date Delora last verified it. Use it to check a figure you read on Delora, or in an AI assistant's answer that quotes Delora.

Using a claim

Quote the statement with its jurisdiction and its verified date, and link the claim's page on Delora or the primary source. Rules change: a claim is only as current as its last_verified date, and the primary source is always the authority. Never quote a row whose status is superseded as the current rule, or one whose confidence is needs_verification as settled. This is general information, not legal, tax, financial or credit advice about any purchase.

One claim, as a row

Licence and reuse

You can copy, share and adapt this dataset, including commercially, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Credit Delora and link to this page. The licence covers Delora's wording and the compilation, not the source documents, which keep their own terms (the source_terms column). The issuing bodies have not endorsed Delora's wording.

6 claims are shown on the site but left out of these files, because the source's terms do not allow reuse or have not been reviewed yet. They still link to their sources on the pages that use them.

How the claims are kept

Delora fetches each source itself, archives it, and records the specific claim it supports with the dates it was retrieved and last verified. Sources are re-checked on a schedule and a genuine change is flagged for a person to act on. A claim that changes is not edited in place: it is marked superseded and a new claim replaces it.
