We renamed our house when we moved in 15 years ago and paid the local council a fee However I can see that on the land registry it is still the old house name. Who should I follow up with?

Nick - 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.<br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-the-register-ap1">Change the register (AP1) - GOV.UK</a><br> 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.<br> There is no fee for this application<br> HM Land Registry<br> Citizen Centre<br> PO Box 7806<br> Bilston<br> WV1 9QR
