If you want to apply to change the name of a property that already has an official registered address, or add a name to a property that currently only has a number, please use this form.
This application form can be used for both residential and business properties.
There is a fee of £25 per property (from 1 April 2021).
Useful Information
- Changing or adding a name to a property can only be officially done by applying to the council.
- You can only apply if you are the registered owner of a property - if you are in the process of purchasing a property, we can only accept your application once you have exchanged contracts.
- We will then check that the new name complies with our Street Naming and Numbering Policy, and will then send details of the name change to a range of organisations including Royal Mail and the emergency services, as well as internal council departments.
