Methodology & sources

    About the data behind every property report

    Drimble Property Reports are compiled entirely from open, official UK government data. We do not scrape agent listings, we do not republish personal data, and we cite the source and update cadence on every card of every report.

    What we deliberately do not publish

    • Personal names of individual property owners — these are not open data.
    • Council tax bands — held by the Valuation Office Agency; we link to the official lookup.
    • Agent listings or asking prices — these are commercial data, not government records.

    Coverage

    Phase 1 focuses on England & Wales, which covers around 89% of UK residential properties. Scotland (Registers of Scotland, Scottish EPC register) and Northern Ireland are on the roadmap.
