Lost / Replacement passport interview

Hi I recently lost my British passport while I was travelling in India. I have since obtained an Emergency Passport from the British High Commission in Delhi, booked an appointment for a replacement passport under fast track service (1 week) in London.
I am in London for the appointment and was wondering how this is meant to work as I have been living in India for a few months and my UK property is rented out. What do I use as my Current UK address? I do have access to my property and in fact a portion of the property isn’t included in the rental. Can I use this address? The form specifically says ‘Current UK address’ so I can’t use an address abroad. That said if the interviewer asks me where I currently live, I cannot say that I live at the UK address because that would be inaccurate.
Has anyone been in this situation? Any thoughts?

Where are you currently living in the UK? They may send your new passport there.
If you apply while you’re in the UK, your passport can only be sent to a UK address.
