My experience from the valuation and estate agency side of this, is that most defaulters leave (trashing the house in the meantime) before the bailiffs arrive to take possession.
From a GDPR perspective, if I forgot all my clients details, then when they ring me 20 years after we valued a building, we could not help them in their tax reduction claim. Similarly, if they require an update valuation, if we have not kept the details. we cannot 'refresh our memories' from the file and do the job at a cheaper rate, but have to start from scratch at a full fee.
Be careful what you wish for....
