What OS GB Address provides you with
Accuracy and currency
Maintain accurate address information with updates made as frequently as daily, to conduct spatial analysis and aggregation with precise coordinates assigned to each address.
UPRN data management
Link data to an address using the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN). This identifier is assigned to a property and persists through its full lifecycle. From construction through to its demolition, the UPRN ensures accurate and consistent management of data, even when changes are made to an address.
Address and location analysis
Cross-references to OS Buildings and OS Land Use data facilitate rich querying and insight generation.
Use cases
- Ideal for the planning, development and management of property, whether involved in policy development, logistics, or insurance underwriting.
- Adopt the UPRN for the purposes of address data matching and cleansing. Accurate locations can inform decision making, such as analysing a property’s access to critical services like travel connections and healthcare.
Additional information
This data is generated from the National Geographic Database
The National Geographic Database (NGD) sets the benchmark in accuracy and completeness for location data. NGD data helps businesses and government make critical decisions, and deliver vital services with the utmost confidence and certainty.
The NGD is the single store of Ordnance Survey’s authoritative data for Great Britain; the repository of millions of records that precisely define the built and natural environment, in unparalleled detail.
Central to the power of NGD data is a single, structured database. Unlike previous generations of OS data, NGD data is built for analytical uses and designed to be the bedrock of more intelligent solutions. It reduces the complexity towards insight and getting the answers you need.
