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.
Chasing works when it is structured
Random reminders create noise. A dated checklist with owners creates accountability.
Who orders what
Clarify whether the solicitor or the vendor orders leasehold packs in your process. Duplicate orders waste money.
Property Passport UK
When vendors maintain a passport, chasing becomes closer to “complete the next gap” than “find anything”.
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.
Disclaimer: Not legal advice, not a survey, not mortgage advice, and not a substitute for official registers or professional services.
