Just by being systematic. If you have Chillly's codepoint postcode layer sitting over BING its easy in the editor to assign the postcodes as you see them when adding buildings. In retail areas things go awry a bit (like many traditional banks seeming to have a unique postcode) but its easy enough to check the main retail chain's websites for their correct addresses to make sure you have used the right postcode and other than for larger buildings mostly even runs of retail units share the same postcode, even in my local shopping mall.
