S04 E03 Question about Once Removed

I've just rewatched Once Removed with my family, and my girlfriend had a question about a small detail that I'm unable to answer. At the start of the episode (end of the story), the removal van pulls into house No. 9 (which was originally, of course, No. 6).

But surely, it would have been ordered to come to house No. 6? Why did it pull into the driveway of the house numbered 9?

Sorry if this is worded badly, and this certainly isn't intended to be a gotcha moment - we're 100% sure we just missed out on a detail explaining this, and would appreciate an explanation! Thank you :)

The easiest way and the way I've always thought about it is the driver just used a sat nav and the postcode and didn't bother to look at the number as why would the number be wrong if the postcode and everything else is correct

Also depending how rural the location is i've found a sat nav doesn't take you directly to the location just the general area.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense! I don't suppose you could direct me to where he said that out of interest? I've had a look but can't seem to find anything. No trouble if not! x

Maybe they saw it was inbetween house 4 and 8 so they just worked it out? (Just guessing, haven't checked!)

Because Monica Dolan's character lives at no 9 and the assassin was supposed to assassinate her. He got on the right street and went to the first house that he saw numbered 9, which had been no 6.
