What is a Property Passport?
A property passport is a comprehensive digital record of a property. It brings together data from 12 official UK government sources — HM Land Registry, the EPC Register, Ordnance Survey, the Environment Agency, and more — into a single, verified page for every address in England and Wales. It is free to search, free to view, and free to create.
What data does it include?
Every property passport automatically includes data from official government sources. Homeowners can also upload their own documents to build a more complete record.
Energy Performance (EPC)
Current and potential energy rating, efficiency score, property type, construction age, floor area, heating type, and tenure.
Sales History
Every recorded sale since 1995 from HM Land Registry, including price paid, date, property type, and whether it was a new build.

Common questions
Is a property passport the same as a home information pack (HIP)?
No. Home information packs were a government requirement for sellers that was scrapped in 2010. A property passport is a permanent digital record that stays with the property across ownership changes. It is not a legal requirement — it is a free tool for anyone who wants a clear, verified record of their property.
Do I need to create an account to view a property passport?
No. You can search and view any property in England and Wales without creating an account. An account is only needed if you want to claim a property as your own, upload documents, or invite professionals to collaborate on your property record.
Can I create a property passport for a property I rent?
You can view the property passport for any address, including a property you rent. However, only property owners can claim a property and upload documents. Tenants can use the data to check EPC ratings, flood risk, sold prices, and other public information.
How is the data kept up to date?
Property Passport UK automatically updates data as official government sources publish new records. EPC data updates when a new certificate is lodged, sold prices update when HM Land Registry publishes new transactions, and flood risk data updates with each Environment Agency assessment cycle.
What happens to my property passport when I sell?
The property passport stays with the property, not the owner. When a property changes hands, the record and its history transfer to the new owner. This means every future owner benefits from the documents, certificates, and data that previous owners contributed.
Is a property passport the same as a property logbook?
Yes. A property passport and a property logbook are the same thing — a comprehensive digital record of a property. Property Passport UK uses the term "passport" because it travels with the property. Your property passport IS your digital property logbook.
