AddressBase
AddressBase provides a current view of all Royal Mail PAF addresses that have been matched to the NLPG and OSG . The product provides Royal Mail attribution as well as enhancing PAF with X and Y coordinates on the British National Grid and ETRS89 coordinate reference system and providing the classification of an address to a primary level. It also provides a primary level classification.
This product will provide you with a single view of an address, allow you to locate this address on a map to give you a geographic view and carry out primary analysis on the function of the address to determine, for example residential from commercial properties.
