It is legal to register a limited company to a home address. However, you should  get the council’s permission in writing to determine whether or not it is contrary to your rental agreement. Notably, the council will write back to you promptly unless they have reason not to, depending on the type of activities in your limited company. In general, the council is receptive to freelance businesses, editing, and most virtual businesses. On the other hand, you may not get their permission if your business would increase wear and tear of the flats, cause nuisance to other tenants, comprise of 40% of the property’s use, or involve huge deliveries.
