I added a new build address on google maps but when i just search for the postcode it doesn't work

I just recently followed all the right steps and added my new build apartment address on google maps via the missing address section. This was luckily approved and updated after 24 hours on google maps. However, when I just search for the postcode it doesn't work and gives me an error message. Or if I only search for part of the address it doesn't seem to work unless i type out the full address. I am concerned delivery drivers will not be able to locate my address if this issue continues.

Hi there,

From what I can see, the post code "MK9 4BP" has been added here: https://goo.gl/maps/pNHipQAygyhKu49D8.

Also, glad to hear that Royal Mail has updated the data.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. 

The full address is : Flat 13, Union Court, 2 Canal St, Milton Keynes, MK9 4BP

The postcode is : MK9 4BP

I wasn't able to find the GPS coordinates so here is the Plus Code for the location : 27W7+RW Milton Keynes 

Many thanks in advance,

Hi there,

Thank you for providing the requested information.

As you have already added the marker for the apartment complex and the post code is not appearing in search, I will escalate this to ask for the post code MK9 4BP to be added here: https://goo.gl/maps/TgtDCDd2yn9CqYoA6 - as it is not possible for users to add only the post code at the moment.

I did, however notice some discrepancies on the Royal Mail website (https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode) when I searched for the postcode MK9 4BP:

1) The flat number 13 does not appear on the list:



2) The location of the postcode does not appear on the map:



It shows an error "The address location is currently unavailable for this new address and will be displayed once our maps are updated".

You may want to contact them to get these issues fixed.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your reply and for looking into this for me. 

I look forward to the postcode being updated and thank you for escalating this for me. :) 

Just to confirm I had contacted royal mail and they have confirmed that they have amended my address and emailed me about my address this morning. They also mentioned it may take up to 2 working days for it to show. Please see their email response below :
