Hi, thankyou Terpe, this last week Steff has been researching TB and English tests. Will speak to her today on results of those.

Have arranged bank statements and am trying to fix so extra (later) statements can be sent to Philippines if necessary. Thanks on 28-day rule - had picked that up from the forum, but it's a timely, useful reminder for others.

One thing I noticed. I have a 'rent a room' scheme in house (attic conversion) but still 4 beds available.

You mentioned exclusive use........presumably no need to declare that, but what do you think? May show on bank statements. Was thinking of appointing a surveyor to certify accommodation.

Overkill do you think?

Thankyou again for your time and patience helping all of us.
