How to register a new property with royal mail

To register a new property with Royal Mail, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Check if you need to register

Before you start, check if you need to register your property with Royal Mail. You'll need to register if:

• You're a homeowner or leaseholder
• You're a landlord or property manager
• You're a developer or builder
• You're a solicitor or estate agent

Step 2: Gather required documents

You'll need to provide some documents to register your property. These may include:

• A copy of the property's title deeds or lease
• A copy of the property's planning permission (if applicable)
• A copy of the property's building regulations approval (if applicable)
• A copy of the property's energy performance certificate (if applicable)

Step 3: Fill out the registration form

You can download the Royal Mail Property Registration Form (PRF) from their website or request one by calling their customer service number. Fill out the form accurately and completely, providing all the required information.

Step 4: Submit the registration form

Send the completed registration form and supporting documents to Royal Mail at the following address:

Royal Mail Property Registration PO Box 151 Bristol BS99 7WS

You can also submit the form online through Royal Mail's website.

Step 5: Pay the registration fee

The registration fee for a new property is currently £40. You can pay by cheque, credit/debit card, or online banking.

Step 6: Wait for confirmation

Royal Mail will process your registration and send you a confirmation letter once it's complete. This may take several weeks.

Additional tips

• Make sure to register your property as soon as possible after it's built or purchased to ensure you receive any relevant mail and to avoid any potential issues with mail delivery.
• If you're a landlord or property manager, you may need to register multiple properties. You can do this by submitting a single registration form with all the required information and fees.
• If you're unsure about any part of the registration process, you can contact Royal Mail's customer service team for assistance.

Remember to keep a copy of your registration form and supporting documents for your records.
