Check the address, not just the area

These official services help you check a particular home, school or journey. Town averages cannot tell you whether an individual property has the connection, catchment or transport you need.

Traveline journey planner ↗

Plan from the full home address to the workplace or fair venue. Check early starts, late finishes and weekends.

Broadband and mobile coverage ↗

Use Ofcom’s address checker, then confirm the service available from the provider before ordering.

Find schools and colleges ↗

Compare individual schools and check admissions with the local authority. Being close to a school does not guarantee a place.

Find your local council ↗

Confirm which council serves the full postcode. Use its website for housing, local services and Council Tax.

Check the home’s energy certificate ↗

Read the property’s energy rating and recommended improvements alongside its current condition and heating system.

Explore the local area ↗

Locate streets, shops, parks and transport links. Map position is a representative settlement point, not a precise town boundary.
