How the Yorkshire and the Humber estimate is adjusted
- Labour
- We apply the Yorkshire and the Humber labour multiplier only to labour-heavy line items, so material prices do not rise or fall just because local wages differ.

- Taxes and permits
- The estimate applies the market tax model and flags whether local permit costs are usually part of the homeowner budget.
