Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Navigation
- Some links do not contain text or are not otherwise read out by screen readers. This can sometimes make it hard to know where links will lead. This fails WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose (A).
- The availability select options on our property search pages do not contain labels which may make property filtering harder for some screen reader or dictation users. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
Magnification
Users should be able to navigate around the website at any level of magnification and on different devices. Users should be able to resize content up to 400% without issue.
Colour
There are elements throughout the site that do not have sufficient colour contrast - including some link text - making them harder to see for some users. This fails WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum (AA).
Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumb information which shows where the current page is in relation to the website structure contains the following issues:
- Breadcrumbs do not meet contrast requirements making them harder to see for some users. This fails WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum (AA)
- Breadcrumbs do not fit correctly within the page heading structure which may confuse some screen reader users when navigating the page. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A)
- Breadcrumbs are formed using list elements which may confuse some screen reader users as the breadcrumbs are read out. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A)
The website developers are looking at breadcrumb related issues and aim to resolve as many as possible by 31 January 2023.
Other issues
Some pieces of text are formatted using lists but not represented as true lists which means content is not identified consistently. This fails WCAG 3.2.4 Consistent Identification (AA).
