Property Passport UK

See this information for your own home

Free address search across England and Wales. No account needed.

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.
