DATA SOURCES

Trusted data. One clear picture.

Property information brought together from authoritative public bodies, government datasets and specialist data providers.

Where our data comes from

KeyFacts brings together property and location information from a wide range of authoritative public bodies, government datasets and specialist data providers.

Our aim is to make important property information easier to understand and access in one place, without requiring estate agents, buyers, sellers and tenants to search across multiple services.

Data is updated at different intervals depending on the source. While we take reasonable care when collecting and presenting information, users should independently verify any information that is material to a property transaction with the appropriate authority or professional adviser.

Property & ownership

HM Land Registry

HM Land Registry data is used by KeyFacts for property transaction information in England and Wales, including historical sold prices, and for registered title information through INSPIRE Index Polygons.

Price Paid Data contains information about residential property sales in England and Wales that have been lodged with HM Land Registry for registration.

Contains HM Land Registry data © Crown copyright and database right 2021. This data is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

HM Land Registry INSPIRE Index Polygons are used to indicate the approximate position and extent of registered freehold titles. They do not establish the legal extent of a registered title and should not be treated as a legal boundary.

This information is subject to Crown copyright and database rights 2026 and is reproduced with the permission of HM Land Registry.

The polygons, including the associated geometry, namely x and y co-ordinates, are subject to Crown copyright and database rights 2026 Ordnance Survey AC0000851063.

Registers of Scotland

Registers of Scotland INSPIRE cadastral parcel data is used to provide indicative property boundary information for properties in Scotland.

Property boundaries displayed by KeyFacts are provided for general information and location purposes only and should not be relied upon to determine legal ownership, title extent or the precise position of a property boundary.

Energy performance

Energy Performance Certificates — England & Wales

Energy Performance Certificate information for properties in England and Wales is obtained from the official Energy Performance of Buildings Data service.

This information may include the property's current and potential energy efficiency rating, certificate details, floor area, heating, windows, lighting, estimated energy consumption, carbon emissions and other energy-related information.

Information reflects the Energy Performance Certificate and underlying dataset available at the time the KeyFacts report is generated.

Energy Performance Certificates — Scotland

Scottish Energy Performance Certificate information is obtained through the Scottish EPC Data API.

Non-address information supplied by the service is licensed under the Open Government Licence. Address and postcode information may incorporate intellectual property belonging to Royal Mail and other address-data providers and remains subject to the applicable rights and licensing conditions.

Energy Performance Certificate information should be considered alongside the original certificate and should not be regarded as a substitute for professional energy or building advice.

Environmental information

Environment Agency — England

Environment Agency data is used to provide flood information for properties in England, including information derived from Flood Map for Planning datasets.

© Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2025. All rights reserved.

Some Environment Agency flood datasets also incorporate information in which Ordnance Survey and other organisations hold intellectual property rights.

Flood information provided by KeyFacts is indicative and should not be regarded as a property-specific flood assessment or a substitute for appropriate environmental searches or professional advice.

Scottish Environment Protection Agency — Scotland

Scottish Environment Protection Agency flood mapping is used to provide indicative flood information for properties in Scotland.

© SEPA 2025; this SEPA product is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

SEPA flood products incorporate information from a number of third-party data providers and remain subject to the attribution requirements applicable to the underlying Flood Maps.

Flood mapping indicates areas where flooding may occur and does not constitute a property-specific assessment of flood risk.

Natural Resources Wales — Wales

Natural Resources Wales flood datasets made available through DataMapWales are used to provide indicative flood information for properties in Wales.

Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and database right. All rights reserved. Some features of this information are based on digital spatial data licensed from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology © UKCEH. Defra, Met Office and DARD Rivers Agency © Crown copyright. © Cranfield University. © James Hutton Institute. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right.

Flood information is provided as a guide and should not replace appropriate environmental searches or professional advice.

Radon

KeyFacts uses the Indicative Atlas of Radon Potential for Great Britain to provide an indication of radon potential for properties in England, Scotland and Wales.

The Indicative Atlas is produced by the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency. It provides an indication of radon potential within an area rather than a measurement of radon levels within an individual property.

Only a suitable radon measurement carried out at the property can establish the actual radon concentration within a building.

Heritage & conservation

Historic England — England

Historic England spatial data is used to identify designated heritage assets including listed buildings and conservation-related information in England.

Heritage mapping is provided as an indication of the location of designated assets. Mapping associated with a listed building does not necessarily define the full extent of the listing, associated structures or curtilage.

Historic Environment Scotland — Scotland

Historic Environment Scotland spatial datasets are used to identify listed buildings and conservation areas in Scotland.

Contains Historic Environment Scotland and OS data © Historic Environment Scotland and Crown Copyright and database right 2026, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Welsh Government & DataMapWales — Wales

KeyFacts uses official spatial datasets made available through DataMapWales to identify listed buildings and conservation areas in Wales.

Conservation Area Boundaries published by the Welsh Government are made available under the Open Government Licence. The dataset provides boundary information and users should contact the relevant local authority where definitive information about a conservation area or designation is required.

Listed building information is derived from official Welsh spatial datasets and should be confirmed against the relevant statutory record where the designation is material to a property transaction.

Council Tax & local government

Valuation Office Agency — England & Wales

KeyFacts uses official Council Tax information to identify the Council Tax band associated with properties in England and Wales.

Council Tax bands can be reviewed or altered by the relevant authority. The information displayed by KeyFacts reflects the information available from the official service at the time of lookup and should be confirmed where it is material to a transaction.

Office for National Statistics

Office for National Statistics data is used to provide demographic, census and geographical information, including information about local authorities, wards, constituencies and local populations.

Source: Office for National Statistics licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Where ONS digital boundary products and reference maps are used: Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2026.

ONS datasets used by KeyFacts may be downloaded, processed and stored locally to allow property reports to be generated efficiently.

Broadband & mobile coverage

Ofcom

Ofcom data is used to provide information about fixed broadband availability, broadband speeds and mobile network coverage.

Coverage information is based on data supplied to Ofcom and may include modelled coverage estimates. Actual broadband speeds, mobile signal strength and service availability can vary according to network conditions, building construction, equipment, geography and other factors.

Coverage information shown by KeyFacts should therefore be treated as an indication rather than a guarantee of the service or performance available at an individual property.

Water & sewerage

Water and sewerage providers

KeyFacts uses geographical service-area information to identify the water and sewerage companies that are likely to serve a property in England and Wales.

Supplier boundaries and service responsibilities can change and, in some locations, water and sewerage services may be provided by different organisations. Provider information should be confirmed directly with the relevant supplier where required.

Maps & property boundaries

Ordnance Survey

Ordnance Survey information is incorporated into a number of geographical datasets used by KeyFacts, including datasets supplied by HM Land Registry, the Office for National Statistics, environmental bodies and heritage organisations.

Where applicable, Ordnance Survey copyright and database-right attribution is provided in accordance with the licence applying to the underlying dataset.

Google Maps

Interactive maps and map imagery displayed within KeyFacts reports may use Google Maps and associated mapping or imagery providers.

Copyright, mapping-provider and imagery-provider attribution displayed within the map remains the property of the respective rights holders and is displayed in accordance with the applicable mapping service terms.

Map locations, markers, distances and overlays displayed by KeyFacts are approximate and are provided for general information only.

Property boundaries

Property boundary information displayed within KeyFacts reports is indicative only.

For England and Wales, KeyFacts uses HM Land Registry INSPIRE Index Polygons. For Scotland, KeyFacts uses cadastral parcel information made available through Registers of Scotland INSPIRE services.

KeyFacts may convert, process and store this spatial information locally in order to display it within property reports. Conversion between coordinate systems and the presentation of boundaries over third-party mapping may introduce positional differences.

Boundary information must not be relied upon to establish ownership, resolve a boundary dispute or determine the legal extent of a registered title. Appropriate title documentation and professional advice should be obtained where the precise legal boundary is important.

Open Government Licence

A number of the public-sector datasets used by KeyFacts are made available under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The Open Government Licence permits public-sector information to be copied, published, distributed, adapted and used commercially, subject to the conditions of the licence and any additional copyright, database-right or attribution requirements applying to individual datasets.

The Open Government Licence does not generally cover third-party intellectual property rights, trademarks or organisational logos unless expressly stated.

About the information we provide

KeyFacts aggregates property and location information from numerous public bodies, government datasets and third-party data providers. Different sources are updated at different times and frequencies, and information may change after a property report has been generated.

While reasonable care is taken when collecting, processing and presenting information, KeyFacts does not guarantee that all information contained within a report is complete, accurate or current.

Information provided by KeyFacts is intended for general information purposes only. It should not be treated as legal, financial, surveying, valuation, planning, environmental, conveyancing or other professional advice.

Maps, property boundaries, distances, coverage information, environmental information and other geographically derived information should be regarded as indicative unless expressly stated otherwise.

Buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, estate agents and other users should independently verify any information that is material to a property transaction with the appropriate authority, data provider, solicitor, conveyancer, surveyor or other suitably qualified professional.

Licensing & attribution

KeyFacts respects the intellectual property rights and licensing requirements of the organisations whose information and data we use.

Individual datasets remain subject to the copyright, database rights, licensing conditions and attribution requirements of their respective providers. References to an organisation on this page indicate the source of information used by KeyFacts and do not imply endorsement of KeyFacts by that organisation.
