Name Change

I am required as part of a positive covenant to change the name of a property (Chapel) I recently acquired.<br> <br> How do I do this?&#160; There's no reference to changing name in the AP1 form ?<br> <br> many thanks for your assistance<br> &#160;

Gordon - the 'name' and address is controlled by the relevant local authority. Contact the LA street name &amp; numbering department as appropriate<br> You can then <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/public-guidance-dealing-with-land-and-property#contact-form">write to us</a> or complete<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/744253/AP1__2018-05-25_.pdf" style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);">&#160;form AP1</a>&#160;to change the property description.&#160; <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><b>There is no fee for this application</b></p> <p><b>Where to send your application</b></p> <p><u><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hm-land-registry-address-for-applications#standard-addresses">HM Land Registry address for applications.</a></u></p>
