I started a new Ltd Co on 1st Jan with my wife as Co Sec - I'm a Consultant working at a Client and only use home for registered office purposes and mail. Forming the company happened just prior to us moving into temporary rented accommodation for a 6 month period whilst we source a more permanent place to buy for us and the little one when it arrives soon.
So far I haven't changed the address formally with anyone (eg Companies House, HMCE, Bank, etc.), just used the Royal Mail redirection service, until we move again in a few months' time. The reason for this is that - strictly speaking - we may be breaking the terms of our Lease Agreement, one of the conditions being that we are "to use the premises for the purposes of a private residence only in the occupancy of the Tenant and not for business purposes".
Having said that I think it's doubtful whether the Letting Agent or Landlord would ever know, but are we breaking any rules by - even if for a 6 month period - not really using the company's registered office address?
