How to Unlock a Property

If we have been unable to verify an address, it will appear as a locked property. Locked properties will not receive updates from VMC. These 3 easy steps will show you how to unlock a property.

Every property has a Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN), each property
address in ViewMyChain must match the exact address registered with Ordinance
Survey. If not, it will show as a ‘locked property’.
