Thank you.

For England at least, UPRNs can be turned into web links, in the format:

    https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/risk?address=100023336956

which allows the address to be verified.

We're planning to import UPRNs into Wikidata; here's the above value,
for example:

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q169101#P8399

so for notable buildings at least, a reverse lookup will be possible,
using the Wikidata API, or, for example:

   https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/resolver.php?prop=P8399&value=100023336956
