An address is just an address
Your registered office is where statutory mail goes. Moving it — to a new premises, an accountant, a service address — does not change the company number or its history. Lenders identify you by number, so nothing about your record shifts.
Keep it current
The only thing that matters is that the address on file is accurate and matches what you tell the lender, so verification runs smoothly. Beyond that, an address change has no bearing on affordability.

Frequently asked questions
Does moving my registered office reset anything?
No. The company number and its full history are unchanged. The address is administrative and does not affect your credit record or eligibility.
Do I need to tell the lender if I've just moved?
Give your current registered address so verification matches your Companies House record. Beyond keeping details accurate, the move has no effect.
