Hi guys,

Just a quick question on this topic.

I have been told that if I decide to have my fiance live with me at my parents while we search for a house, my parents will have to provide a supporting letter and that letter will need to be notarised because it is written by a 3rd party ie. not me or my fiance! Can anybody confirm this for me please?

Thank you.

You're perfectly free to continue to live at your parents house and also to have your fiancee join you there. The specific accommodation can be just a small bedroom but it must be exclusively for your use.
You don't need a notarised letter. But you do need a letter from your parents.

UKBA are interested in 3 key facts:-

1) the accommodation must be owned or legally occupied by the sponsor
2) its occupation must not contravene public health regulations
3) its occupation must not cause overcrowding as defined in the Housing Act, 1985.

Your parents will need to provide a simple letter stating that they give permission for you and your fiance to stay there.
They need to include evidence that they are the owners. This can be either a downloaded Title of Deeds or a mortgage confirmation letter from the BS etc

They also need to confirm 'adequate accommodation'. Really means that you'll have a bedroom of your own the number of rooms in the property, the approx sizes of bedrooms, number of people living there.
That's it.

If you need more details don't be shy to post here.
Hope it helps
