Royal Mail's Postcode Address Data gives you EVERY address in a single postcode area (UB Uxbridge, B Birmingham, CV Coventry etc.) or
EVERY address in the UK (business and residential).
You've several product options:
Every Address in the
UK
Every Address in a single postcode area (UB, B
etc.)
Every
Business Address in the UK
As above,
excluding property / site detail
The postcode address data is without any contention the definitive most up-to-date and complete address database in the UK. There are two product options: the UK file which has every address and postcode in the UK (28 million addresses both business and residential) OR just the addresses in your postcode area, which is the cheaper more address specific / smaller file.
The Royal Mail's postcode address list is often used to capture, create and or maintain your in-house address lists. This includes web site registrations, forms and customer databases to reduce the number of returned or undelivered items from mailing programs. Obviously there are many more applications that you can use the
postcode address file for including mailing, planning leaflet distribution,
door dropping logistics and navigation to name just a few of the
applications!
