Student term time address. Register this on the electoral roll?

SavvyOoze

My 'permanent residence' is at my parents home of 9 years however they moved house July last year and this has become my new perm. residence. I am already registered on the electoral roll for this address.

I have been studying in Derby and have also registered my term time address here for my student halls(1st year) and then my house (2nd year). I moved into a studio flat for my 3rd year and did not register this as at the same time my family had moved to their new home (my permanent residence) and was wary of any potential hiccups because of this. I have decided to stay at this student term time address for another year so now I'm thinking it may be best to mark down where I've lived for the past 2 years besides main residence as I have a feeling somewhere down the line when I need to list every single place I've lived and there's no record of this place it could be a problem.

Regarding my current student address, as far as I am aware I have nothing 'credit linked' to this address as I have no electricity/water bills listed under my name and all my bank/mobile statements are addressed to my parents new home. The only thing that has my name with this address is my internet bill and my tenancy contract.

I'm wary by adding this student address (and any other addresses once I graduate>find a job in a new town>move) on the electoral roll and therefore on the report, that this could reflect badly somehow by the number of house moves and length lived? Considering I moved permanent residence and student term time address at pretty much the same time.

If I list this student address and they see I have nothing linking to this recent last address will they ask for some sort of proof I lived there the past 2 years? Or will they only be looking at my current new address (when i'm done with University and move out my parents)?


Hope I haven't left you confused! I would be grateful for any advice Thanks

I personally have just stuck with my parents' address the whole time at uni. I go back regularly so can pick up post and even when I do move put permanently they will still be there for post et cetera. That said ive never registered anything at My student houses because Of wanting To make sure i didn't forget to change anything in the future. Are registered because you want to vote or just for credit purposes?

Almost all of the information is placed in the article. It is a good feature.

The only reason for you register the student address is if you want to vote in local elections. When you apply for a credit card they only ask for your addresses for the last 3 years, and you would just give both your parents' addresses (until 3 yrs down the line) since all your bank stuff goes there. Even if you did have a mobile phone or something at your student address, who is to say that it isn't someone else with the same name and DOB as you, if there is nothing to link that to your other credit items?
