Better Risk Data, Faster Journeys, Persistent IDs

The data layer in your quote and bind stack matters as much as the rating engine.

Better Data At Source

Errors at quote compound through the lifecycle. Validated addresses mean less manual correction at renewal and claims.

Faster Quote Journeys

Fewer keystrokes, fewer drop-offs, especially on mobile, where home insurance quotes are increasingly started.

A Unique Identifier

Every address includes its UPRN, the unique identifier for each property. Match records across systems and link to third-party risk data.

Rooftop-Precise

Rooftop-precise lat/lng on every address for accurate flood zone lookup, peril scoring, and geographic aggregation.

Every Address Comes With Its Unique Identifier

UPRN · INCLUDED ON EVERY PLAN

The Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) is the government's unique identifier for every addressable property in Great Britain.

For insurers it's the key that connects an address to everything else: flood zone, EPC ratings, construction type, VOA records, subsidence risk. One API call, one address, everything anchored to a single identifier that survives ownership changes and system migrations.
