Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 12 April 2026

How we earn money

First Home Manual is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk.

When you click a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you— you pay exactly the same price as if you'd gone to Amazon directly.

What this means for our recommendations

Our affiliate relationship with Amazon does not influence which products we recommend. Every product on this site is chosen based on:

  • Real UK buyer reviews — we read hundreds of verified reviews before recommending anything
  • Price-to-value ratio— we focus on products that offer genuine value, especially under £50
  • Suitability for first-time buyers — tools and accessories that make sense for people setting up their first home
  • Availability — products must be available for UK delivery via Amazon UK

If we think a product isn't worth buying, we'll say so — even if it would earn us a higher commission. Trust is more important than a few quid.

FTC / ASA Compliance

In accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines and the FTC (for any US visitors), we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly:

  • Every article containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice at the top
  • Our footer states our Amazon Associates participation on every page
  • Affiliate links are marked with rel="nofollow" as required
