We have land that had been in the family for many years. It was used years ago as a pig farm then later the buildings used for engineering business. All services still run to the site, electric, water and phone line. The site used to have a postal address but this has not been used for years and the name sign removed. Would I have to reapply to get mail delivered there. There are plenty of buildings still on site and I'm considering trying to convert existing buildings into living accommodation and trying to swoop under the four year rule, so would be good to have utility bills sent there etc as proof for the four years. Also as I would clearly be trying to back door it in, in four years time could I face a four year council tax bill? Thanks

Try sending yourself a letter to the address , after you have put up a sign and waved at the postie whilst stood next to it and yes you would get a bill for council tax , you may be aswell to pay it anyway as the planners don't speak to the council tax office and that would be good proof of you living there .

i am a postman. the most effective 'back door' way to get a delivery to your address is go into the local delivery office. speak nicely to the man behind the counter and explain to him roughly where your plot is and could you please deliver any mail there. erect a big and obvious post box on the road side, the postman won't put too much effort into looking for it! then start posting stuff to yourself. after a couple of days of doing this tape a card to the box. write thank you for postman's efforts so far in the card and put a £20 in there. we're always up for some bribery. it's amazing the service we'll provide you with all year for just £20! also make sure you leave a card and cash at christmas for him too or you might find delivery stops come new year if your address isn't an official delivery point.

What happens if neighbour complains to sorting office that you do not have a 'registered' address?

The way I did it was to contact the local sorting office. I spoke to a guy there over the phone. Told him of 'new address' and I was expecting some important mail. He said he'd let the relevant postie know about it. I sent myself a letter and that was that. Easy. I borrowed a neighbours post code. job done
