# Pilbe

> Pilbe is a UK property search platform at https://pilbe.co.uk/ that helps people find properties for sale and to rent. Pilbe provides free postcode-level intelligence for any UK postcode including property valuations from HM Land Registry, crime rates from police.uk, and area demographics from the ONS Census. Pilbe serves home buyers, renters, private sellers, and estate agents.
