Hey sorry for the basic question but I just purchased something online and forgot to add the county and only put the house number. Street name, area name and postcode
All they need is the house number and the postcode right ?
I’ve emailed the company hoping they can rectify this

It will be fine. Postcode is most important.

As others have said, as long as you gave the house number, street and postcode, it’ll be fine.
The best thing to do though is use the address details provided here: https://www.royalmail.com/business/find-a-postcode as Royal Mail don’t use county, instead they use post town.
How to address your mail (Clear addressing):
Top lines
Write or print the name of the person (or people) you are sending to on the first line, above the address. It’s best to include their surname as well as their first name.
You can add a line for an organisation name.
Middle lines
Use a line for the property number and street name.
If the property has a full name, this can take up one line and drop the street name onto the next line.
Next line can be used to name the local area or village name.
Next line should be for the town. Write the name of the town in capital (upper case) letters.
There is no need to include a county name, your letters and parcels will reach your intended recipient without one. If, however, you’d prefer to include a county name, you’ are welcome to do so.
Bottom line
UK destination: The final line should be the UK postcode, again in capital letters.
You don’t need to cross them, there is nothing to worry about. Even if it was a mandatory field and you put the wrong county, it would still get to you from the postcode and door number.
