Matching Land Registry and Local Council Official Address

The Land Registry hold our address in a particular format and have a property description which is different. This is probably due to the fact that the property we live in was originally 2 cottages that have subsequently knocked into one. Our Local Council holds what they refer to as our 'official' address which is different to both the address and property description held on the Land Registry. It is also the address (less the property name) which is held by Royal Mail. This does cause problems, as an example, one particular credit agency thinks that I am not on the electoral register (which I know I am) as they refer to the Land Registry property description and not the official council address.

Crux of the matter is I would like all the address to be the same (matching the Council official address) but I have no idea how to go about this - Starting with the Land Registry. Hence, I would like to know how I go about this!

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
