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.
Email is a weak archive
Threads split across people, attachments get out of date, and nobody knows which PDF is authoritative. At small volume you can cope. At development scale, the cost shows up as delay and error.
What structured records change
A property anchor with permissions can reduce duplicated questions because teams reference the same source. It also makes onboarding easier when staff change.
What structured records do not change
Professionals still interpret title, condition, and risk. The platform should not be described as replacing solicitors, surveyors, or lenders.
