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 fragmentation problem
Homes outlive listings. Information still gets rebuilt for every transaction.
What changes with a record
Certificates, permissions, and correspondence stay with the address for permitted Stakeholders.
Trust and provenance
Dates and sources matter as much as files. That is core to Property Passport UK.
Commercial reality
Faster sales and purchases when enquiries shrink because evidence already exists.
Our mission
Property Passport UK is building digital property records that follow the home, not just the campaign.
Next steps on Property Passport UK
Run the address through [Property Search](/search), then explore the [Property Guides library](/guides). When you own or manage the home, [claim your Property Passport](/claim/start) and add Documents with dates and sources so permitted Stakeholders see a single coherent record.
