Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how The Big Property List ("we", "us") handles information when you use this website.

The data we use

Our sold-price information is sourced from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, published under the Open Government Licence. It is public record data and is not personal information about you.

Where available, we also show non-address energy-performance information (such as the EPC energy rating and total floor area) for a property, looked up at the time you view the page from the official Energy Performance of Buildings Register and published under the Open Government Licence. We do not store this data, and we do not display the address details held in the register.

Information you give us

If you use our contact form, we store the name, email address and message you provide so that we can respond to your enquiry. We do not use this information for marketing and we do not sell it. Contact us if you would like your message deleted.

Price alerts & email updates

If you sign up to track sold prices for an area or property, we store your email address and the area or property you asked to follow, so that we can email you when relevant new sold-price data is published.

  • Lawful basis: we send these emails only with your consent, which you give by ticking the box when you sign up.
  • What we collect: your email address and the area/property you chose to track. We do not collect your name.
  • Unsubscribe: you can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time, either via the link in any email or by contacting us.
  • We do not sell your email address or share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your visits.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies via www.aboutads.info.

If you are in the UK or EEA, you will be shown a consent message allowing you to accept or reject personalised advertising before any non-essential cookies are set.

Affiliate links & how we're funded

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and then request a quote or buy a product or service, we may earn a small commission — for example for conveyancing, surveys, energy performance certificates, mortgages or insurance. This is at no extra cost to you, and it never affects the price you pay or the advice we give.

We only feature services we believe are genuinely useful, and these commissions (together with advertising) are how we keep the site free to use. Affiliate links are marked so that search engines do not treat them as editorial endorsements.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used, in aggregate. This does not identify you personally.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you (for example, a contact-form message or a price-alert signup), and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, please get in touch.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
