Providing sufficient evidence of suitable accommodation is crucial for UK visa applications. The specific documents required depend on your individual circumstances, but here's a comprehensive guide to the most common scenarios:

​

1. Property Ownership (You and/or your partner own the property):

To demonstrate ownership, you should include the following:

• Title Deeds: These are the legal documents that prove ownership of the property. You likely have these with your other property documents. If not, you can obtain a copy from HM Land Registry (https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-property-and-land/copies-of-deeds). Include all relevant pages of the title deeds, clearly showing the names of the owners.

• Mortgage Statement (if applicable): If the property is mortgaged, a recent mortgage statement can further support your claim of ownership. Alternatively, a letter from your mortgage provider confirming ownership details and stating that there are no restrictions on the proposed occupancy would be acceptable. This letter should be on official letterhead, signed by an authorized representative, and dated. It should clearly state the names of the mortgage holders and the property address.

• Proof of Address: Include a recent utility bill (gas, electricity, water, council tax) or bank statement addressed to you and/or your partner at the property address. This helps establish your connection to the property and confirms it as your primary residence.

2. Rented Accommodation:

If you and your partner will be renting the property, provide the following:

• Letter from Accommodation Provider: A signed and dated letter from your landlord, estate agent, council, local authority, or other accommodation provider is essential. This letter must explicitly state that they have no objection to the visa applicant(s) residing at the property. The letter should be on official letterhead, signed by an authorized representative, dated, and clearly state the names of all proposed occupants. It should also include the landlord's contact details.

• Tenancy Agreement: Include a copy of your current tenancy agreement. Ensure all pages are included and that the agreement clearly shows the names of the tenants, the property address, the length of the tenancy, and any relevant clauses regarding occupancy. If the tenancy agreement has a fixed term, ensure it extends beyond the intended arrival date of the visa applicant.

• Proof of Payment: Provide evidence of rent payments, such as bank statements or rent receipts, covering a recent period. This demonstrates your established occupancy and financial commitment to the property.

3. Living with Family or Friends:

If you and your partner will be living in a property owned by family or friends, you'll need:

• Letter of Invitation/Support: A signed and dated letter from the property owner(s) stating that they are happy and legally permitted to accommodate you and your partner at their property. The letter should include their full name(s), address, contact details, and relationship to you. It should explicitly state that there are no restrictions on you and your partner residing at the property.

• Proof of Ownership (Optional but Recommended): While not always mandatory, it is highly recommended that the property owner(s) provide evidence of their ownership, such as title deeds or a mortgage statement. This strengthens the credibility of their letter and further supports your application.

• Proof of their Address: The property owner(s) should provide a recent utility bill or bank statement addressed to them at the property address to confirm their residence.

• Occupancy Information: The letter should also detail the current occupancy of the property, including the names and relationships of all residents. This helps demonstrate that accommodating you and your partner will not lead to overcrowding. It's also helpful to include a brief description of the accommodation, such as the number of bedrooms and living spaces.

In all cases, ensure all documents are originals or certified copies, clearly legible, and translated into English if necessary. Providing comprehensive and well-organized documentation significantly strengthens your visa application and demonstrates your commitment to complying with UK immigration rules.
