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.

Enquiries are often information gaps

When buyers cannot verify something from evidence, they ask questions. When answers arrive late, chains wobble.

What good looks like

Clear scans, dated certificates, and a single coherent story that matches your forms. Contradictions create more enquiries, not fewer.

Platform angle

Property Passport UK supports structured records and provenance for Documents you choose to include. It does not replace your solicitor’s review.

What to check next

Use [Property Passport UK](/search) to open the property by address or postcode. Cross-check official datasets, then add your own notes and Documents where you have permission. If you own or will own the home, you can [claim your Property Passport](/claim/start) when that fits your journey. Browse the wider [guides library](/guides) for related topics, and read [what is a Property Passport](/what-is-a-property-passport) if you want the product story in one place.

How Property Passport UK helps

Property Passport UK is built to reduce fragmented property information. It combines official context with owner-controlled Documents and permissions so Stakeholders can prepare earlier. It supports information organisation, property checks, document sharing, data provenance, and transaction preparation. It does not replace HM Land Registry, regulated advice, your surveyor, or your conveyancer.

Frequently asked questions

Is this guide legal advice?

No. It is general information for England and Wales. Your conveyancer interprets title, searches, and contract terms for your case.

Does Property Passport UK replace a survey?

No. Physical inspection and professional reporting remain essential where you need them.

Does Property Passport UK replace official records?

No. Treat HM Land Registry, local authority search products, and other official sources as authoritative for their purposes. Use Property Passport UK to organise what you know and to share material under permissions.
