What is a UPRN?
The Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) is a unique 12-digit identifier assigned to every addressable location in the UK by Ordnance Survey. Think of it as a property's fingerprint. It provides a consistent and reliable way to identify and link addresses across different databases, regardless of variations in formatting or spelling

"We have used Ideal Postcodes for many years in our applications and always found the service reliable and quick to respond. One useful feature is that the UPRN is returned as part of the lookup, which enables us to bring data together from different sources in a reliable format. This is extremely useful for us to build a profile and history of the property, that we can share with our agents and users"
"We have found the service to be extremely reliable, the customer service has been excellent, and the UPRN availability a very useful addition which we will be making use of"
