Add or change your property name

Royal Mail delays

Our addressing team work closely with Royal Mail, who are currently experiencing delays due to a recent system update. They are currently taking up to five weeks to add addresses on to Postcode Address File (PAF) instead of the usual four working days. This is also having a knock-on effect on how quickly they respond to our requests, and is not something we can control. We apologise for any inconvenience.

There is a formal process to change a house name if it doesn't also have a number. The process is different if your property is numbered.

Named property (with no number) Find out the process for changing the name of a property that does not also include a number.

Numbered property Find out the process for adding or removing a name to a property that already has a number as part of its official address.
