You have to do it the long way and use the Post Code search facility online searching individual properties or contact the relevent companies.
DPA would only apply if the maps included any personally identifiable information. Postcodes, street names and house numbers may be part of your personally identifiable info, but they are not personally identifiable info themselves. Even if they were, it would not stop the companies publishing maps with no house numbers or postcodes.

The various operators may consider it confidential information, but it is not covered by the DPA.
