This enables us to recognise your computer and greet you each time you visit our website without bothering you with a request to register. It also enables us to keep track of services you view so that, if you consent, we can send you news about those services. We also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, to determine which areas of our website have been visited and to measure transaction patterns in the aggregate. We use this to research our users’ habits so that we can improve our online services and create a better online experience for you. Our cookies do not collect personal information, although they do identify your browser. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser so that your computer does not accept them.

  • where your request for access is, in Property Street Real Estate’s opinion, frivolous or vexatious; or

If you believe that the personal information Property Street Real Estate holds about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request that we amend it.
