Find any Property and Postcode with the Postcode Finder Tool

The Royal Mail introduced the postcode system in London in 1857. The primary purpose of the postcodes was to ensure that the Royal Mail could deliver mail to the correct address, and it was a unique technique to make the process more efficient. Currently, we have more than 1.8 million active postcodes in the UK. You will be surprised to know that each postcode covers 15 properties that range from 1 to 100. Because of this, it is often challenging for postmasters to find the correct address or postcode. Here we have a guide that will help you understand the postcodes.

Below is the UK Postcode Finder box. It lets you search the UK postcode database with your street name, city name, ward, district, and sector or use the auto-complete.

Decoding the postcodes

Postcodes are not static. Every day new properties are built, and the old ones get demolished. That is why the Royal Mail has to re-code the properties to maintain the delivery system's efficiency. Because of this, new postcodes get added, removed and changed. Here is how you can decode the postcodes.

UK postcode format
  • The first two alphabets in the postcode will show you the area
  • The following two numbers will show the district of that area
  • Next comes a single number, that is the sector where you have to go
  • The last two alphabets are the unit which represents the INCODE; This INCODE is primarily used to locate an address.
