Why you need an official house name/ number
When you apply, we'll first contact the Post Office and the emergency services about your application.
This is to make sure:
- emergency services can find your property
- you meet legal requirements
- you're given an official post code by Royal Mail so you or your residents can receive post
- utility services like electricity or broadband can be connected
After that you'll be registered with:
- Land Registry Valuation Office
- Council Tax
- voter registration
- credit rating
