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.
The future most professionals want is boring: fewer repeated PDFs, fewer contradictory stories, and clearer audit trails for what was shared and when.
What is likely to persist
Property-centric models that treat the home as the anchor object, not the inbox, match how transactions actually happen across years.
Where blockchain may fit
Narrow verification and identity layers can help public confidence if they are honest about limits. Property Passport Blockchain Verification is framed in that lane.
What will not disappear
HM Land Registry and conveyancing law are not replaced by marketing. Any serious UK platform must say so plainly.
