Advice on address/electoral roll following city relocation

7sefton

Hi everyone.

I've got a question about how best to handle a change of city/address so I keep as good a credit file as possible for a future mortgage later this year. Thanks for reading and your advice

I own a flat in London that I've lived in (and been on the electoral roll at) for 4 years.

I've now got a new job in Leeds, and have got consent to let for my flat in London and have good tenants in there.

For the next few months I will be house sharing on a (hopefully!) temporary basis in Leeds whilst I get settled. I'm not 100% certain where this househare will be yet (taking the time over Christmas to find the right one). Hopefully in the second half of next year I will look to buy a property in Leeds to live in.

In the meantime, I've changed my correspondence address to my parents' house in Manchester so I can pick up mail every few weeks and know it's kept safe.

My question is, what's the best strategy for maintaining a good credit record with reference to my electoral roll address. Should I:

A) stay registered at my london flat (I think the tenants would be ok with this)
stay registered in London AND register at my parents in Manchester
C) just register with my parents in Manchester
D) wait until I'm sure of the house share situation and register there?

Thanks!

Register at the house share as that is where you will be living.
