8. HOW LONG WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR
The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long term basis: for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements. Generally, where there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of approximately 20 years until after you have completed your purchase of a property from us due to this being the limitation period for claims about latent defects. The exceptions to this general rule are:
- Legal property information and legal files will be retained for approximately 12 years after completion because this is the limitation period for claims related to property title claims;
- Information regarding fixtures and fittings will retained for approximately 6 years after completion because this is the limitation period for claims related to breach of contract
- CCTV images will generally be retained for approximately 60 days and then overwritten, unless required to be retained for any reason (please see our separate privacy notice for more details)
- Audio recordings will generally be retained for approximately 30 days and then overwritten or deleted, unless required for any reason (please see our separate privacy notice for more details)
- If for any reason your property transaction with us does not complete, then we would retain your records for approximately 6 years (instead of 15 years) because this is the limitation period for claims related to breach of contract.
It is important to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date, and you should let us know if anything changes, for example if you move home or change your phone number or email address. You may be able to update some of the personal information we hold about you through our customer portal. Alternatively, you can contact us by using the details set out in the "Contacting us" section below.
