Oh it's fucking insane, when I moved into my house I had to do a typical long conversation with a council person to organise my council tax and set it up properly which by the way was their fuck up and they should have had everything ready for when I moved in and sent me a letter as I was the new owner and resident.

To his credit, guy was trying but he had to get me to put in details of me moving out from another address even though it was my first home and first time moving out properly. Because I didn't trust the system at all precisely for the reasons you described I asked him to make sure he wrote a note down in the 'system' that's what he did because I didn't want his work around potentially biting me in the arse later on.

There is all kinds of crap out there that the bureaucrats just overlook or workaround because they only care about moving money and getting on with things. My RL name for example is really long on multiple counts I have run into formatting issues and so have the people writing into the databases because there are clearly character and name limits among other things on their shitty databases, I hate it.

Even though I'm officially registered as the owner of my property too I still haven't fucking received any paperwork associated with it, I keep wondering if it's worth chasing that up and probably should at some point. I'm sure there's way more ridiculous stories out there when it comes to signatories and everything.

By the way, fun fact, if you've never bought a property yourself before at least in the UK and don't know this you need a witness to sign it precisely to prevent any shenanigans and that both parties have agreed to everything.
