Valuation report redaction is the removal of owner and property data from a surveyor's report. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 set how a lender may handle such data. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the assessment method stays intact while the personal fields go.
When this applies
The report names the owner, the exact address, and nearby comparable sales. You strip those before it enters a shared model or a panel exchange.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the report in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned photos and sketch pages.
- The tool flags owner names, addresses, and contacts.
- Keep the method, adjustments, and final figure.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The report (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the analysis readable).
- Optional allow-list for the value conclusion.

Limitations & cautions
A subject address and its comparable sales can re-identify the property even after owner names go. Review the comparables grid before you share the file.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact the comparable sales?
Often the subject address and nearby sales re-identify the property. The tool flags addresses so you can decide what to mask.
Will the value conclusion survive?
Yes. Allow-list the final figure and method while owner and contact data are removed.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so the assessment never leaves your device.
