    Further to my earlier post, I think I am correct on the following.
    The letters from the building society regarding mortgage matters, came to the well known address. I am fairly sure the mortgage was written against the well known address.
    Whilst I can't remember the address given to the Land Registry, on the Rightmove website for sold prices, the property is listed under the well known address. At this sa me website, there are no properties listed at the block against the less well known address.
    It was only the council and the utilities using the less well known address.
    As a way of explanation, this was a flat in a block of flats. The block was between 2 parallel streets. The block had 2 separate door one door per street, each with its own proper address.
    For the 2 addresses
    the flat number was the same
    The street number and street names were different
    The town was the same
    The first part of the postcode was the same.  In the 2nd part of the postcode, the 1st number was the same, but the 2 following letters were differet.

    When having stuff delivered to the flat like Amazon or furniture, I used the well known address. This was never a problem.

    Hi MM2.
    As said there, I presume the house you intend to buy matches that shown - outlined - on the deeds map, that your solicitor asked you to confirm do match (and its boundaries, etc)? 
    In which case, relax.
    Didn't your solicitor explain why it was fine - reassure you properly? And the 'assurance' they did give is in writing
    Double-relax, and Happy New Home :smile:

    Just to clarify, there is no need for the house to be shown on the title plan. What physical features are on the plan is simply a function of which version of the OS map was used for it. What matters is whether the boundaries of the land correspond with what you're expecting to buy.
