Coverage

The Royal Mail’s UK Postcode Address File (PAF) universe, contains circa. 32 million UK addresses.   We have restructured and reformatted the file into manageable regional files, with each region containing a handful of postcode area files to represent a region; in this case the North East.  The Royal Mail’s PAF is without any contention the definitive most up-to-date and complete data source, covering every known delivery point / address in the UK.

Royal Mail’s North East Postcode Address File (PAF) contains every delivery point / address (business and residential); that’s every known delivery point / address in the North East.

This product excludes Royal Mail’s Multiple Residence file (MRES) and Not Yet Built file (NYB) products, which can be purchased separately.  So when ordering, please consider adding Royal Mail’s Multiple Residence file (contains an additional 727,000 UK wide residences / business premises that are located ‘behind’ a delivery point / address found on the PAF file) and or Royal Mail’s Not Yet Built file  (contains addresses that are either in the planning stage, or building stage).
