How do I go about registering a change of house name? We've changed it with the local council but I presume we also need to do it with the land registry office too?

A registered proprietor or their conveyancer can write to us or complete form AP1 to change the property description. For example, to change the property's name.

You need to send us evidence from the street naming and numbering department of the Local Authority. Royal Mail documents are not acceptable as their delivery point address description can differ from the Local Authority registered address.

When submitting your application, please remember to tell us the address you would like a copy of the updated register to be posted to upon completion, as this can often be different from the property itself.

There is no fee for this application

Where to send your application

HM Land Registry address for applications.
