Data sources and licences

Last updated: 13 July 2026

Address Lens combines public-sector property, environment, planning and neighbourhood data. Most source data is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, but source providers still require attribution and some datasets have additional address-data restrictions.

Coverage and purchasing

Dataset availability, geographic coverage, precision and update dates differ by source. Address Lens keeps unavailable, out-of-coverage, insufficient-evidence and confirmed-absence states distinct. An absent record does not by itself prove that a risk, event or feature does not exist. If the required evidence for a Buyer Property Check or Buyer Decision Pack is not available, the report cannot be purchased and no charge is taken.

Screening limitations

Combined source data supports initial screening and research only. It is not a site visit, building survey, structural inspection, legal search, mortgage valuation or market valuation. Always check the named primary source and obtain appropriate professional advice before relying on the information for a property decision.
