How we make money
The short version: BuyReady is free, and the numbers you see are never for sale. When we do earn something, it'll be a small commission on a few clearly-labelled options — and it will never change the maths.
Right now: nothing
We haven't switched on a single paid link yet. Every tool, guide and plan on the site is free, with no ads and no commercial relationships behind any number you see. We'd rather build something people trust first.
The plan: a small commission, only where it actually helps
Buying a home means using a few services anyway — checking your credit file, finding a mortgage broker, lining up a conveyancer or a survey. When you reach those steps, we plan to show a couple of options worth comparing, and we may earn a small commission if you go with one.
Every one of those will sit under a clear Ad · we may earn a commission label. No hidden links, no pretending an ad is a recommendation.
What a commission never changes
- The maths. What you can borrow, your Stamp Duty, your monthly cost — these come from official rates and your own numbers. No advertiser can move them.
- The order.We'll never rank whoever pays most as “best”. We show options to compare, and we tell you what to look for so you can judge for yourself.
- Your shortlist.A product only ever appears because it's genuinely a sensible next step — not because of what it pays us.
What we'll never do
- Sell or share the numbers you enter — they stay in your browser (or, if you choose to sign in, in your own private account so they sync across your devices). Never sold, either way.
- Sell your email or hand it to a lender.
- Take a payment to call one lender or product “the best”.
- Run third-party advertising trackers across the site.
Why tell you all this?
Because the whole point of BuyReady is to be the one place that isn't quietly selling you something. The day a commission would mean steering you wrong is the day the tools stop being worth using. Keeping the money side boring and visible is how we keep the rest honest.
