Data, Property, Inisghts

Introducing PropertyResearch.uk

PropertyResearch.uk: Search any England & Wales postcode to view 30 years of sold property data, local trends, and repossession insights. Fast, clean reports to support research and lending decisions.

This didn’t start with a business plan, a whiteboard, or an 87-slide deck. It started in the office mid-chat when someone said:

“Wouldn’t it be great if there was a site where you could punch in a postcode and instantly see sales history, market trends, arrears, repossessions… and just make our jobs easier with real data?”

My response: “Hold my beer.”

Then reality kicked in: the office tools are not exactly built to juggle 80-million-plus records. Well, not the ones they let me have. So I did what any sensible person would do, turned it into a personal side project and built it anyway.

A week (okay, ten days) later, PropertyResearch.uk is live.

What it covers (for now)

England & Wales.

Scottish data? Let’s just say it’s guarded like the Crown Jewels. Unless you fancy £900/month for a slow drip from Holyrood, you’ll need to give me a minute while I find a solution for Scotland. I’m on it.

What it does

Type a postcode → see up to 30 years of sales history.
Click a property → get specific details and useful context.
Curious about repossessions? → dedicated page using court data.
Local trends & signals → the kind that actually help decisions, not just pretty charts. Ok, it has pretty charts.

It’s simple, fast, and, dare I say, quite nice to use.

If you work in property, lending, or you’re just nosey about an area (no judgement), this should save you time and guesswork.

Tokenization: What the hell is a token?

I wrote about data harvesting and cleaning in my last article in this series. Now that AI has clean data, it's time to turn billions of pages of data into tokens!

Collecting Data for AI

If you're trying to understand AI as we know it today, it all starts with data or data harvesting as it's more commonly known. Let's talk about that for a minute or ten.

Why understanding how Gen AI works matters

Gen AI, how does it work? Love it or hate it, Generative AI is here to stay, but where does it get its information, and how does it use it to appear so intelligent and provide the answers it does? Lets' go through it.
