192.com is easy to avoid. Ex directory and make sure your not on the shortened electoral register (you can still vote as your on the main one) they sell on and you don't appear

Not true don't buy a house don't get married don't be a director of a company don't be born don't die (well maybe you won't care about that one) in fact don't do anything that creates a public listing for anything.

People paying a fee can see all of this, I have a friend who in the last 6 months has moved, they did not have a phone number for 4 months due to problems, they are ex directory do not appear on the voters roll (never have) yet within a month they had their name and address on 192.com The information was got from the Land Registry on the purchase of the house.

It could be useful for getting work done on the house - roofing, painting, fitting aerials, gardening, paving. Ask your tradesmen to look up the house on Google Earth Street View first,and if they don't like the look of the job, you save all that "tradesmen turn up, make encouraging noises, say they'll send a quote, and then disappear off the ends of the earth" malarkey. If they forget something like a window detail they can look it up without making another journey.

dont forget it has been in the making for years, so businesses have gone bust and started up, places demolished/built etc

plus the resolution isnt great.

So not so useful for those applications. Great for route finding though as you can travel along the route how you would see it on your drive!

Oh the powers of big business.

It's disgraceful that they can now remove your house.
