Co-branding

At some point in the purchase of a property, the question of its likely future value is usually raised. Organisations involved in the sale or purchase of properties have a particular difficulty in answering such questions because no matter how impartial their advice actually is, if they appear to benefit from it, their clients might well not see them as truly impartial. Some organisations attempt to help their clients by making neighbourhood historical prices or their in-house forecasts available on their websites; but the historical prices used tend to be highly erratic, and use of their own forecasts still leaves them exposed to the perception of partiality.

Technical Forecasts Ltd is an independent forecaster who uses published scientific methods of forecasting and offers informative papers about both their forecasting techniques and associated historical accuracies. The methods adopted ensure that all forecasts are created from the same rigorous, impartial and scientific method. In order to assist clients of organisations involved in the sale or purchase of property, TFL makes its web-site available for co-branding with appropriate organisations. In order to protect TFL’s impartiality, and the interests of the ultimate end users of the forecasts, TFL’s co-branding policy is given below.

Co-Branding policy

This site may be co-branded subject to partners’ acceptance of the following terms:

• Co-branding partners might not always agree with TFL’s forecasts, but have no influence over them, and agree not to attempt to exert such influence;
• Co-branding partners must accept that where there is no reasonable scientific basis for a forecast, none will be offered;
• Since the strengths and consistencies of the relationships underlying TFL’s forecasts can never be guaranteed, co-branding partners accept that no individual forecast can ever be guaranteed.
