Map showing house numbers.?

Where google streetview is available you can often see the number on the property itself.

OS plans, 1:1250 and 1:2500 plans show house numbers, but only numbers which can be seen from road. These plans are expensive to buy and only cover relatively small area. These plans are available digitally, but again signing up for digital mapping is expensive.

Or you can use Birds Eye View (which covers a larger area) to help to identify the property.

I've been able to identify virtually all of the properties I've been looking for using a combination of Google Maps and Multimap. More often than not it's down to picking up a detail of the property (shape, paths, features, etc.) from the schedule and matching that up to the bird's eye / satellite views.

As already said, Google Street View makes life a lot easier as you can normally zoom in on house numbers.

...and as I said earlier, you can usually browse them for free at the local council's planning portal - as long as there's been a planning application in the vicinity of the house you're interested in.

Your best bet is to try your local authority website, they may have something like this:
http://www.bucksonline.gov.uk/bucksmaps/startup_step1a.asp which will show you large scale mapping complete with house numbers and building outlines.

The Ordnance Survey database of address locations is called Address-Point and is expensive (http://www.thewendovergroup.co.uk/cms/data/ordnance-survey-data/63-os-postcodedata) , which is why you don't see it on free websites.

If you go onto multimap and type in the house number and street name (e.g. 123 Lavendar Street) in the search box it will show you exactly where that house is.

Microsoft (who own Multimap) are very secretive about their address finding algorithm but I'm fairly sure it doesn't use a complete house number database. It appears to work by interpolating between known house numbers along a road segment and is generally very good but it will get confused in some situations.

Ah, I knew there was a website that shows house numbers and I've just been able to track it down in My Favourites. Try:

http://www.viamichelin.co.uk

It doesn't show all the numbers, but usually at least the numbers at each end of the road, on both sides, and often some numbers in between. You can't see the numbers of individual houses, but you can work out roughly where it should be and then work it out from bird's-eye view on another website.

It doesn't do that with my address. In fact the map is over 5 years old.
