The Royal Mail PAF database currently has 31,611,289 Addresses in 1,821,134 Postcodes (updated 18 Jan 2023)
79 Postcodes added and 5,099 addresses added/updated in the last daily update which takes place after every working day.
249 Postcodes added and 15,616 addresses added/updated in the last week (5 working days)
When processing the updates from the Royal Mail we also: 1) Add counties to 9,314,105 addresses records missing PAF. 2) Expand Simple Multiple Residency address. For example, if we find an address entry such as “Flat 1-4” we expand that data to 4 address records for easier selection, and better customer satisfaction. We currently have expanded 1 address in this way. This is like a cut down version of Multiple Residencies, see below.
In addition to the PAF data, we can provide “Not Yet Built” data, currently, 780,887 extra addresses, which contains properties under construction and in the planning stage. When such properties can receive mail they are added to the PAF file by the Royal Mail. Please contact us for a quote.
The PAF file lists all delivery points, for mail. But sometimes when multiple mail boxes exist behind a single delivery point, such as a block of flats, then you may need more detail. The Multiple Residencies database list all specific mail boxes at such address. The currently contains 934,176 extra addresses which expand the PAF file. Please contact us for a quote.
