What your business can use it for
- Risk assessmentKnow before a sale, survey or renovation that a building is listed — it changes what work needs consent and what repairs and rebuilding cost.
- Property valuationListed status and grade affect value, insurance and upkeep. Flag them on any property you value or survey.
- Sales prospectingHeritage builders, specialist surveyors and insurers can map every listed building in their patch, by grade, to see where their specialist work is needed.
Works with data you already have
- Properties or sites you already have on a mapMap coordinatesOne WGS84 point per list entry (WKT in the point column); match by distance. There is no postcode, address or UPRN in the file.
How to get it

What's involved in using it
- There is no address, postcode or property reference in it, so the only way to connect it to your own list is to put your properties on a map first and match by distance — which throws up some false matches next door and misses the far end of large buildings.
- About 2,600 entries are no longer current but are still in the file, and about 500 have no map point at all, so it needs filtering before it can answer 'is this listed?'
The technical detail, for whoever sets it up (4)
- Each entry is a single point somewhere inside the building, not its outline, and the grounds of a listed building are not mapped at all.
- One list entry can cover a whole terrace or group, and walls, railings and phone boxes are listed too — so rows are not the same as buildings.
- England only. Wales and Scotland keep their own lists.
- Use it to flag likely listed properties; the official list entry, linked from every row, is the authority.
