THE EVIDENCE BEHIND EBEN
Useful data. Clear boundaries.
Eben combines maintained reference datasets with your organisation’s documents. Each source has its own scope, publication cycle and limitations.
Company intelligence
Our Companies House mirror supports research into companies, officers, appointments, persons with significant control, charges and insolvency events. Streaming services ingest supported changes, while filings and source links provide routes back to the public record.
A registered charge records security, not necessarily a loan advance or current balance. An outstanding charge may remain on the register after repayment. Connections between officers and companies need review, particularly where names or identity details overlap. Public filings can lag the events they describe.
Property and local-market evidence
| Source | What it contributes | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| HM Land Registry Price Paid Data | Recorded residential sales, dates and transaction characteristics. | England and Wales; registration delays and exclusions apply. Not asking prices or a live listing feed. |
| Domestic EPC records | Energy ratings, recorded floor areas and dwelling characteristics. | The loaded domestic source covers England and Wales. Certificates can be old; a floor area is not a survey of the current building. |
| UK House Price Index & ONS | Published area trends, postcode geography and Census context. | Area statistics describe the surrounding market. They do not establish an individual property’s value. |
| Planning and spatial sources | Available application records, designations, brownfield sites and parcel context. | Coverage varies by source and authority. Planning records are incomplete, and parcel geometry is not proof of legal ownership or secured extent. |
| PropertyData | Additional market and indicative valuation tools where configured. | Separate provider coverage, usage allowances and charges apply. Availability is agreed as part of your access. |
Planning needs particular care
We do not claim complete UK planning history. An application near a postcode is not necessarily at the secured property, and no result does not mean no permission exists. Check the council record, decision notice, conditions, plans and current status before relying on an apparent match.
Broader planning acquisition, whole-lender planning research and title-based corporate ownership matching are under development and validation. Availability differs between development and production; we will confirm the capabilities available to your team during onboarding.
Dates, updates and indicative values
Different datasets update at different speeds. The Site report shows held source dates, and research should be checked against the relevant period. Automated ingestion cannot remove a publisher’s delay or guarantee that every source is currently complete.
Eben’s indicative property calculation uses selected sold comparables, available EPC floor area and published UK HPI adjustments, with sample size and confidence. It is not a formal valuation, a verified development appraisal or an automatic estimate of land value or gross development value.
Your own evidence
Supported documents can be uploaded for research and report drafting. Original files are retained for retrieval, and extraction notes disclose limitations. Spreadsheet analysis uses reviewed inputs and deterministic calculations; missing inputs and unset lending limits are not treated as passes.
