Combining National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF), for the full lifecycle of an address.

AddressBase Premium provides the most detailed view of an address and its life cycle for England, Wales and Scotland. The product contains approximately 40 million addresses, each with UPRN unique identifier. Includes alternative addresses (e.g. where a property known as Rose Cottage is also 23 Acacia Avenue), provisional addresses (proposed planning developments), historic addresses (demolished properties) and objects without a postal address (e.g. places of worship, community centres and utilities).

The new Address products have been produced by GeoPlace, a joint venture between Ordnance Survey and the Local Government Group.

The AddressBase™ Premium product includes the best parts of local government’s National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG), Ordnance Survey’s OS MasterMap Address Layer 2 and the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF), plus comprehensive address classification details.

AddressBase™ Premium is the most comprehensive product in the range and is an entirely new concept in the world of addressing for GB. AddressBase™ Premium is a relational database detailing the whole lifecycle of an address from pre-build through completion and successive name changes of businesses. Suitable for use in interrogating for bespoke services, Emapsite can provide access to this valuable dataset through our web services delivery solutions. Please call us for more details.

AddressBase™ Plus includes National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF), plus extra features for address data classification.

AddressBase-Plus contains all current addresses validated from Local Custodians as well as non-postal addresses such as ponds, electricity sub-stations and telephone boxes (36 million addresses). The product enables customers to locate an address or property on a map using either X, Y coordinates (British National Grid) or Latitude, Longitude coordinates (ETRS89 projection), and display the Local Authority or Royal Mail address elements where matched.

The Address products have been produced by GeoPlace, a joint venture between Ordnance Survey and the Local Government Group.

The AddressBase™ Plus product includes the best parts of local government’s National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF), plus extra features for address classification.

AddressBase™ Plus is the richer product in the range and is analogous with the legacy OS AddressLayer 2 product. Attributes include the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN), Unique Delivery Reference Point Number (UDPRN), four levels of classification for the type of address, method of calculating the x,y position, as well as all standard address details with x,y coordinates. Additional language options for addresses are also provided, along with the local authority and parish code, VOA codes, non-addressable objects such as churches and community centres, and multiple occupancy property information. All these additional attributes are not available within the standard basic AddressBase product, therefore we recommend AddressBase Plus for the majority of commercial and professional uses.

Local Authority data is at the heart of AddressBase Core. Providing you with a complete address data product & ensuring access to granular detail when compared to the alternative - delivery points.

AddressBase Core takes many of the important elements from the other AddressBase products, such as coordinates, classification and cross-references to connect address information to other products via key identifiers. Address information is provided in an easy-to-use format alongside a single line attribute which concatenates all the address elements into what you would expect to see on an envelope. Available as CSV and GeoPackage file format.

AddressBase Core makes it easier to locate, match and gain insights from other location data with the benefit of having  key identifiers referenced throughout. The Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN), Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) and Topographic Identifier (TOID) allow users to reference to other OS products.

Third party identifiers such as the Unique Delivery Point Reference Number (UDPRN) and Government Statistical Service (GSS) Code are also included, so you're  more likely to be able to confidently bring multiple sources together using one of the key identifiers included in this dataset.

Making the most of the property classification attributes, you can quickly understand, locate and perform analysis on the type of addresses you want to interact with.

You don’t need to use it all - only need residential addresses, commercial addresses or even just schools? No problem - AddressBase Core can do that too!
