Filing the address change takes 10 minutes. Companies House processes it within 24 hours. But the full transition — notifying HMRC, your bank, and updating your stationery — takes 1–2 weeks if you are organised.

The Filing (10 Minutes)

Log in to Companies House WebFiling, file form AD01 with your new address. Free. Done.

The Follow-Up (1–2 Weeks)

For the complete checklist, see our step-by-step guide. The key steps:

  1. Notify HMRC separately (Companies House does not do this for you)
  2. Update your business bank
  3. Update insurance, contracts, and stationery
  4. Set up mail forwarding from the old address
