See this information for your own home

19.4 million searchable properties. EPC, flood risk, sold prices, planning, and more in one structured record per home.
Two different jobs
Anti-money laundering checks verify identity and risk in line with your firm's policies. Material information verifies property facts for buyers. They interact in workflow, but they do not replace each other.
Practical takeaway
Keep audit trails for both: who verified what, and when.
Not legal advice
Follow your firm's MLRO guidance and current regulations.
What to check next
Use [Property Passport UK](/search) to open the property by address or postcode, then review official context alongside anything you save as Documents for your own workflow.
How Property Passport UK helps
Property Passport UK brings address-level context together in one place so you can prepare questions for your conveyancer and surveyor without treating a portal listing as proof. It does not replace HM Land Registry title, searches, or professional advice.
