        <p>Hi Jez<br>
          <br>
          To clarify, what I did was to find a 'suspicious' UPRN (two
          pins on one building with different address details). I then
          looked up the address on an online system (e.g.
          OneScotlandGazetteer or the local authority online Planning
          system) to check the details (UPRN and address). That allowed
          me to have details, which in this instance I then checked
          property sites (e.g. ESPC) to verify the 'likely' error.<br>
          <br>
          If you want more details of the example, let me know and I can
          put a bit more detail together.<br>
          <br>
          Cheers<br>
          <br>
          Nick<br>
