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.

Narrative beats PDF dumping

Clients often receive large packs they cannot parse. A short explanation of what matters next, what is routine, and what needs a decision supports better outcomes than forwarding attachments alone.

Boundaries remain

Your professional obligations govern the advice you give. Property Passport UK may help clients keep general property context organised, but it does not replace your retainer.

Practical tips

Use consistent language for recurring themes such as drainage, mining, or planning. Link questions back to the client’s priorities: occupation, alteration plans, and insurance.

Clients exploring properties can also use [search](/search) for address anchoring while they shortlist homes.

What to check next

Use [Property Passport UK](/search) to anchor the property record. Add [claim your Property Passport](/claim/start) when you own or manage the home. Follow the professional route that matches your role: [estate agents](/for-agents), [housebuilders](/for-housebuilders), [conveyancers](/for-conveyancers), [surveyors](/for-surveyors).

How Property Passport UK helps

Property Passport UK supports structured property information, document provenance, and permissioned sharing between Stakeholders. It does not replace regulated professionals, HM Land Registry, or official search products.
