Your Questions About House Price Spy
Some questions you may ask about House Price Spy, and the free service we offer in general.
Why do you only have data from 2000? The Land Registry system was only set up to format data and release it that way from the year 2000. We may be able to get earlier data but this is not currently available at the present time.
Why dont you cover Northern Ireland Or The South of Ireland? There is no system to collect and release data such as we have for England and Wales or Scotland.
My house was sold last month and is not yet featured on the site, why is this? It takes from 4 to 6 weeks for the government bodies involved to release data so there will be a slight delay between a property being sold and it being detailed on House Price Spy
Why can you release data that is private to me? All data is Public Domain and can be looked up by anyone. We are part of the Data Protection Scheme which legislates how we can use and store this data safely.
How acurate is the data you publish? The data is exactly as given to us by the Land Registry and Registers of Scotland, updates and corrections are made regularly to resolve any technical issues arising before we received the data.
How do you manage to run the site without charging for data? We have selected relevant advertising on the site such as home insurance and broadband providers. Please see the great deals we have to help support the site.
These are just a few of the question our members have asked over the almost 3 years we have been live, if you have any of your own contact us at the main site.
