How UK postcodes work
A full UK postcode, like SK17 6JY, has two halves. The first half, SK17, is the outward code: the letters show the postcode area (SK is Stockport, which also covers the High Peak), and the number is the district. The second half, 6JY, is the inward code: the number is the sector and the last two letters pin it down to a group of about 15 addresses, often one side of a street.
That's why longer streets usually have several postcodes. Odd and even house numbers are often on different postcodes, and very long roads can cross into a different postcode district altogether.
Tips for finding a postcode
- Use the main street name. Leave out flat numbers and building names. "St" and "Rd" are fine, as we expand them to Street and Road.
- Not sure of the town? Leave it blank to see every street with that name, then pick the right one.
- New build estate? Brand-new streets may not appear until the first homes have sold and been registered with the Land Registry.
- Business addresses and large organisations sometimes have their own postcode, which won't appear here because we only show homes.
Once you've got the postcode, open it to see sold house prices, energy ratings, broadband speeds, crime, flood risk, nearby schools and council tax, all free.
