Accommodation - proof of ownership

Post by gprit » Thu Jul 17, 2014 5:21 am

My wife will shortly be submitting an application for a UK Settlement Visa (I am UK Citizen - she is Thai).
We are both currently in Thailand.
[i]Under UK Accommodation details.[/i]
My first wife died three and a half years ago and the house we were living in was in her name. Her entire state passed to me, as her husband but I have not been able to transfer the property into my name because the Land Registry only accept payment for this by cheque or postal order, neither of which I can provide from Thailand (yes I know, maybe I should have done that earlier).

Can you confirm the following should be acceptable for submission with visa application:
  • Land Registry entry
    Death certificate of my first wife
    Grant of probate to myself (husband) as sole inheritor of estate
    Bank attestation that mortgage payments have been made from my account since July 2009
    Property Description and Photos
NB: I do not propose to send a professional property inspection report.

Also - is it really necessary to send mortgage statement?
Again, due to Lenders policy they cannot transfer to my name as they class it as new lending and they no longer lend(!).
It is simply left in as 'executor'.
Mortgage payments can be seen as debits in the bank statements I will be sending.
At the same time though, a mortgage statement would show all made on time....
