UK Private investigators
Whether you’re a landlord chasing up a previous tenant’s unpaid rent, or simply looking to reconnect with a family member you’ve lost touch with, UKPI enables you to benefit from our advanced find an address service. With a 98% success rate, we can provide the correct and current address for all trace inquiries or reverse address lookup. We do not simply rely on the electoral register, but instead use some of the most accurate sources available, which will give you the person’s current and past addresses — even if the person has only recently moved into a property.
Why you may need to find a person’s address
Finding someone’s address may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
- Serving legal documents, such as a summons, subpoena, or notice of legal action
- Locating a witness who has relevant information for a court case
- Collecting debt – reminders, legal proceedings, and recovery visits all require an address
- Locating a missing heir or beneficiary of an estate, inheritance, or trust
- Reuniting with estranged family members that you may have lost contact with
- Landlord-tenant disputes, such as unpaid rent
- Locating a missing person
- Locating biological parents or children, to gain access to health history, for example

Lost friend and relative finding service
If you’re wondering how to find someone’s address, our advanced address-finding service will provide you with the most recent address for the person you are seeking anywhere in the UK or overseas.
You can try to uncover information on a search engine to work on discovering any contact information about the person you’re looking for, but these public records will typically result in little to no information.
If you’re struggling, we can help. As private investigators, we can start the address search with as little information as a full name, though sometimes we may require a little more to further the search process. However, if you need to search for a person’s assets or to find information about someone, try our more comprehensive people search.
Find someone’s address via Social media
These days, address searches have become easier with social media. Although this may seem like a weak solution, it is very possible to find who you’re looking for across a range of popular social media platforms.
Begin your address search on sites like Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and WhatsApp. However, on Facebook and Instagram, if you attempt to send them a message, depending on their account settings, they probably won’t see your message. They might first need to accept your follow request or friend request. There is also no guarantee that they’ll respond.
Pro tip: If you can’t find the person you are looking for on social media by simply searching for their name, then think of mutual friends and check if the person you are looking for is on their friends list.
Find an address via Public record search
You might be able to find someone’s address using various public records such as voter lists or property records. Public records that will help find someone’s address may be available through your local records office. If that doesn’t work, try seeking assistance from their friends and family; they might know the person’s latest address details.
Find someone’s address with vast databases
With the rise of the internet and online information streams, there is a vast pool of freely available data. The copious amount of information can be overwhelming. However, you can also use various online databases and search engines specifically designed to help find people’s address details.
Reviewing extensive databases online
One quick trick is that if you know the area where the person might be, search through online public records or look at property listings on the internet using the little address information you have. If you’re struggling to find the right address details, just using the person’s name or job might help you get started.
If, even after all these methods, you are still struggling to find someone’s address, then it is probably time for you to contact UK Private Investigators. Here at UKPI, we have access to databases that are not available to the public. We hold years of experience in locating someone’s address, and depending on the situation, it is possible we can trace a person’s address within hours of beginning our search.
Find a person using phone books
Although phone books are no longer widely available, they’re still a useful source of information. They provide easily accessible information that can help you find someone’s address. However, there are modern alternatives to an old-school phone book address search.
Find an address by phone number
If you do not know the name of the person you’re looking for, then it is possible to try a reverse lookup using their phone number. The reverse address lookup strategy will give you the name and address of the person associated with a specific phone number.
More than just finding someone’s address, using contact details and our telephone tracing, we can also discover more in-depth information, including their correct address and so much more.
