I would recommend leaving this to UK mappers who understand the UK
postcode system.... Postcodes don't indicate buildings in the UK - they
indicate postal delivery points. Don't try and find logic where none
exists... 

The relationship is n:m. You cannot ask "what is the postcode for this
building" - you have to ask "what postcodes have a delivery point in
this building". You cannot ask "which building does this postcode
indicate", you have to ask "which buildings have a delivery point with
this postcode."
