As property firms across the UK increasingly rely on digital tools—from CRM platforms and smart building systems to online lettings and virtual viewings—data protection has become a business-critical priority. Whether you manage tenant records, process investor data, or monitor access with CCTV, your organisation is subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and related data privacy laws.
To navigate this complex regulatory environment and mitigate legal and reputational risk, many real estate businesses are turning to UK data protection consultancies. At Fraser Bond, we work alongside top-tier consultants to ensure our clients’ property operations are compliant, secure, and trusted by customers and regulators alike.
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 place strict obligations on how businesses collect, store, and use personal data. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of global turnover.
Failure to protect customer or tenant data damages brand credibility—particularly in sectors like luxury property, corporate leasing, or Build-to-Rent (BTR), where trust and discretion are paramount.
From access control systems to tenancy applications, data is embedded in every stage of property management. Ensuring its lawful, fair, and transparent use supports operational efficiency and resilience.
Professional consultancies deliver tailored support based on your business model, data exposure, and regulatory risk. Services typically include:
Assessment of all data flow within the business to identify compliance weaknesses and potential breaches.
Creation or revision of privacy policies, consent forms, data sharing agreements, and data retention schedules.
Training programmes and procedural guidelines to ensure teams understand GDPR principles and act accordingly.
Advisory on how to manage Subject Access Requests (SARs), data deletion requests, and complaint escalation.
Developing robust breach response protocols and liaising with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) when needed.
Data protection consultancy is critical for:
Property developers handling buyer and investor databases
Letting and estate agents managing tenant records and ID verification
Commercial landlords using CCTV and smart access systems
REITs and investment firms managing large-scale property portfolios
International companies expanding into the UK market
