What I did was, first night in a hotel. Next day to immigration with a copy of the house book person you are living with id card they asked for their telephone number . TM30 done.
I was in a similar situation. I got the old home bulldozed and it was more cost effective building new. This leaves it up to the builder to organise everything. I didn't retire to complicate my life.
Seems everyone is getting fixated on the TM30. Common knowledge that a TM 30 is needed but is the original house book required when applying for a TM30 to receive certificate of residency when living with a friend.
