Accessibility

MortgageExplained is built for people in the UK who want mortgages explained in plain English, often reading on a phone.

Our aim

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. We are not perfect, and we keep finding and fixing issues.

Features to help you

• A "Skip to main content" link, the first thing you reach when you press Tab.
• A site index listing every page.
• A plain-English mortgage glossary.
• The site works with a keyboard, and uses clear headings, labelled form fields and page landmarks.

Colours

We do not use colour alone to show whether something is good or bad; tables and labels say it in words too. We do not offer a second colour scheme. If you need different colours or more contrast, your browser zoom and your device's contrast and colour-filter settings work on this site.

Making reading easier

• Use your browser zoom (Ctrl and + on Windows, Cmd and + on a Mac) to make everything bigger.
• Use your device or browser read-aloud feature, for example VoiceOver, TalkBack, Narrator, or your browser's Read aloud.
• Use the site index to find a page without using the menus.

Known limitations

• Some calculators and checks on our calculator pages are embedded third-party tools run by Propillo. We do not control how those embedded tools work, so they may not meet the same standard as the rest of the site.
• Some wider tables, such as the Lender Criteria Index, scroll sideways on a phone.
• Our downloadable PDF checklists and templates may not work well with screen readers. If you need one in another format, ask us.

Report a problem
