    We have a virtual address and they forward the post to our house or you could ask your accountant if they're happy for you to use their address.

      Insurers are less strict about this than they use to be.

      Most are happy with people working from home who do clerical work or "computer" work. Even being a registered childminder is fine. What they don't want is loads of business visitors or you to hold stock in the property.

          Not a risk I am willing to take on board as a landlord though.

            Every landlord is different like every tenant.

            Some tenants don't bother asking and you will never find out. There as others will cause the debt collectors to turn up over their personal credit card debts.......

              As a landlord you don't have any rights over the use of the postal address. You've assigned that to the tenant in effect.

                It would depend on the restrictive covenants on the property.

                So if they said no businesses or no type of business the landlord is well within his/her rights for putting this in the tenancy contract and evicting tenants who breach this.

                  If I was a debt collector, I'd find out where the director lived and go there.
                  We have received letters from debt collection agencies for clients that use us as registered office before, it's a shame that they didn't have the same idea as you..

                      I've used several Regus-like-but-much-cheaper serviced office suppliers as virtual office providers. It's a simple service but the quality varies a lot - our current provider keeps forwarding us other peoples mail but you can't tell that until after you've opened it as they put a sticker over the name and address....
