Correct address to put on credit applications?

Options
Whenever I need to fill out a credit application I'm always unsure what length of address to put on my applications, my history is (Most recent at first):

Lived at home with parents for over 1 year since graduating
Lived in a house with friends for last year of uni
Lived at home with parents for 1 year during work placement year
Lived in a house with friends for second year of uni
Lived in halls of residents for first year of uni
Lived at home with parents for over 7 years during school

- I had bills in my name during the final year of university (gas, electricity & internet)
- Electoral role has always been registered to my home (parents address)
- My bank statement, phone bill, etc. have always been registerent to my home (parents address).

How would you tackle this on the length of address at most recent place of accommodation?

My guess is to put 10+ years for my address at home (with my parents)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

    I would put as you say, 10yrs+ at your home/parents address.

    The fact that your e/r record will back this up helps too.
