Guide for use:Help on this term

Generally, only one house/property number is used. However, if the house/property number includes a number range, the range of applicable numbers should be included, separated by a hyphen (-), with no spaces between numerals, i.e. 17-19

  • House/property number 1 - refers to physical House/property number and for ranges is the starting number (5 numeric characters)
  • House/property number Suffix 1 - a single character identifying the House/property number suffix (1 alphanumeric character)
  • House/property number 2 - refers to a physical House/property number and for ranges is the finishing number (5 numeric characters)
  • House/property number suffix 2 - a single character identifying the House/property number suffix (1 alphanumeric character) with no space between the numeric and the alpha characters.

For example; '401A 403B'

'401' is House/property number first in range

'A' is the House/Property suffix 1

'403' is House/property number last in range

'B' is House/Property suffix 2
