and whether any of these alterations to your circumstances will affect any future or current visa applications.

yes--as i understand it--at the visa application stage--i have to show proof of a tenancy agreement--with both of us named----with a minimum of 6 months still to run.

so--if i did vacate--sort furniture storage/disposal--then fly out for a few weeks honeymoon-on-account--then--come back at the time she applies for the visa--and sign up a new tenancy. could be the way to go.

for what its worth--all my gear is no more than 6 years old--some i bought for this gaff--total cost--around £3000---mostly argos. so--its now worth about sixpence. kitchen white goods already gone to a friend in need--this place is all built in.
