Eircode finder
Find an Eircode by clicking the house on the map.
Short answer: zoom to the street, click the roof, and the Eircode and official address appear. No address typing, no daily limit. It works for any house in Ireland with a registered address point, and from there one click runs the thirty-eight checks for that Eircode.

What the Eircode unlocks
An Eircode is the key to the public records about a house. The SEAI BER register, the Property Price Register, the RTB register, the ComReg broadband checker and the planning register all work from the address, and the Eircode is the one form of the address that every one of them agrees on. That is why the report asks for it: with the Eircode, BER and sale history come back; with a map click alone, only the location-based checks (flood, radon, noise, planning, zoning) do.

Questions people ask
- How do I find the Eircode of a house I am viewing?
- Three ways. The listing on Daft or MyHome usually shows it under the address. The official finder.eircode.ie takes an address and returns the Eircode, with a daily cap on free lookups. Or zoom to the house on the map above and click the roof: the nearest registered address point and its Eircode appear on the right.
- What do the seven characters mean?
- The first three are the routing key, a postal district shared by thousands of addresses (D15 is Blanchardstown, H91 is Galway city, F12 is Claremorris). The last four are the unique identifier for one address. Two neighbours have Eircodes that look nothing alike, which is why you cannot guess one from the house next door.
- Why does the map show a different Eircode from the one in the ad?
- Usually because you clicked a neighbouring roof, or because the building is apartments and each unit has its own Eircode while the map can only show the nearest point. Check the address shown against the listing, and use the Eircode from the sales brochure when in doubt.
- Is every house in Ireland on the map?
- Almost. Every address that receives post has an Eircode, about 2.2 million of them. New builds get one when the address is registered, so a half-finished estate can have gaps, and a rural house that shares a lane with a farmyard may show the farm's point first.
- What can I check once I have the Eircode?
- On this site, thirty-eight public-record checks for that address: OPW flood zones and past floods, EPA radon, planning applications within 300 m, zoning, BER, sale history, broadband, schools and more. The free snapshot shows how many flag; the full report is €19.99.
