Corrections Policy
Accuracy matters to us.
What We Correct
We will generally correct an article when we establish that it contains a material factual error.
This may include:
- an incorrect price, date, size or transaction figure;
- an incorrectly stated policy or regulation;
- a misquotation;
- incorrect attribution;
- a factual description that materially misrepresents a property, person or organisation;
- an error in a calculation or dataset;
- or another mistake that could materially change a reader's understanding of the story.
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting or typographical errors may be corrected without a formal correction note where they do not change the substance of the article.
How Corrections Are Shown
Where an error is material, we aim to make the correction visible to readers.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include a note such as:
Correction, 25 August 2026: An earlier version of this article stated that the unit sold for $1.15 million in April. The transaction took place in August. The article has been corrected.
The correction should explain the substance of the error rather than simply stating that the article has been amended.
We generally correct the original article rather than leaving information we know to be inaccurate in place.
Updates Are Different From Corrections
Property stories often continue developing after publication.
We may update an article when:
- a tender closes;
- a property is subsequently sold;
- a government agency provides additional information;
- further transactions become available;
- a company responds after publication;
- or another material development changes the context of the story.
Where useful, we may add an update note stating what new information has been added.
An update does not necessarily mean the original article was wrong.
Clarifications
Sometimes an article is factually accurate but could reasonably give readers the wrong impression.
In those circumstances, we may add context or clarify the wording.
Where the clarification materially changes how the passage should be understood, we may make that change visible to readers.
Data Corrections
Our analysis frequently relies on transaction records and other datasets.
If an error in the underlying data, calculation or methodology materially affects our conclusions, we will correct the article and, where appropriate, explain what changed.
If the correction materially alters a chart, ranking, headline or conclusion, we will aim to make that particularly clear.
Headlines And Social Posts
If the body of an article is accurate but its headline materially misrepresents the story, we may change the headline and note the correction where appropriate.
We may also correct or remove social media posts containing materially inaccurate information.
A correction to an article does not necessarily mean every promotional headline or social post will remain available indefinitely.
Reader Disagreements
Not every disagreement is a factual error.
Property analysis frequently involves judgement.
A reader may disagree with our assessment of:
- whether a property represents good value;
- the importance of a location drawback;
- how a layout performs;
- which projects provide the most useful comparison;
- or how much weight should be placed on a particular market factor.
We take reasoned disagreement seriously, but we do not change conclusions simply because someone holds a different opinion.
Where new evidence shows that the factual basis of our conclusion is wrong or incomplete, we will review it.
Requests From Owners, Developers And Other Interested Parties
People and organisations covered by Stacked are welcome to raise concerns about our reporting.
We will consider credible evidence that an article contains factual inaccuracies or lacks material context.
However, we do not remove or rewrite accurate reporting merely because:
- an owner is selling a property and believes the article may affect its value;
- a developer dislikes a criticism;
- an agent disagrees with an assessment;
- circumstances have become commercially inconvenient;
- or someone would prefer an older story no longer appeared in search results.
The fact that a story is unflattering does not, by itself, make it inaccurate.
Article Removal
Removing an entire published article is unusual.
We may consider removal where there are exceptional circumstances involving:
- serious legal issues;
- significant privacy or safety concerns;
- fundamentally unreliable reporting that cannot reasonably be corrected;
- duplicate or accidentally published material;
- or another compelling editorial reason.
Where an article can be accurately corrected or updated, we generally prefer doing that rather than deleting the historical record.
Privacy And Personal Information
We may consider requests involving personal information differently from ordinary editorial complaints.
This is particularly relevant where continued publication creates a disproportionate privacy or safety concern that was not reasonably apparent when the article was published.
Any decision to remove identifying information must also be balanced against the public interest and the integrity of the original reporting.
How To Request A Correction
If you believe we have made an error, email:
Please include:
- the URL of the article;
- the specific statement you believe is wrong;
- why you believe it is inaccurate;
- and, where possible, a source or supporting evidence.
Specific correction requests are much easier for us to review than general requests to change or remove an article.
What Happens Next
The editorial team will review the issue against the reporting and sources available to us.
Where necessary, we may contact the writer, relevant sources or the person raising the concern for further information.
If we determine that a material error has been made, we will correct it.
If we conclude that the article remains accurate and fairly presented, we may leave it unchanged.
Our willingness to review a complaint does not mean that we accept the complainant's interpretation of the story.
Our Approach
We do not believe credibility comes from never making mistakes.
It comes from taking accuracy seriously enough to acknowledge and correct them when they happen.
