If you contact us to enquire about a property, request information, or ask for a brochure, we will use your personal data to:
- Respond to your enquiry
- Provide information or documentation you have requested
- Contact you about similar properties, where this is directly related to your original enquiry and would be reasonably expected
We do not use property enquiry data for general marketing, newsletters, or unrelated promotions.

- Send you information you have asked to receive
- Invite you to future events or share company updates
These communications are optional and are only sent where you have given your consent.
5. Lawful Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR (and EU GDPR where applicable), we rely on the following lawful bases.
Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f))
We process personal data under legitimate interest where you have contacted us to make a property enquiry. This allows us to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to inform you about similar properties related to that enquiry.
We consider this processing to be reasonable, proportionate, and expected. You have the right to object at any time.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a))
Where you have opted in to receive company news, event invitations, or other general communications not directly linked to a property enquiry, we process your personal data based on your consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in our emails or by contacting us directly.
6. Communications and Opt-Outs
Property-Related Communications
Communications relating to a property enquiry or similar property opportunities are sent on the basis of legitimate interest. If you object to receiving these communications, we will stop promptly.
Events and Company Updates
Emails relating to events or company news are sent only where you have opted in. Every such email includes a clear and simple way to unsubscribe.
Unsubscribing from events or company updates will not affect our ability to respond to property enquiries unless you request this.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Property Enquiries
- Personal data relating to property enquiries is retained while the enquiry remains active or relevant
- In any event, such data is not retained for longer than 12 months unless there is ongoing engagement
- Data may be deleted sooner where an enquiry does not progress or where no further contact is requested
Events and Company Communications
- Personal data processed on the basis of consent is retained for as long as you remain subscribed
- We periodically review our contact lists and may remove contacts who have been inactive for an extended period
- You may withdraw consent at any time, after which your data will no longer be used for this purpose
8. Automated Communications
We may use automated systems to send emails relating to:
- Property enquiries and requested information
- Notifications about similar properties relevant to an enquiry
- Events or company updates where you have opted in
All communications are limited in scope, relevant to their purpose, and include appropriate opt-out options where required.
9. Sharing Your Data
We may share your personal data with trusted service providers who support our business operations (such as IT systems or CRM platforms), but only where necessary and under appropriate data protection agreements.
We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
