Do my family also need to write a declaration re this transfer?
No harm in attaching that but form might ask you to declare it.

I can include the extra bank statement to show when it was transferred in.

Thanks again!
No need as it might not fall within the remit of prescribed 6 months.

Ok sure cheers!

I did a couple of months temp work with my current company before I joined permanently. I guess this is not relevant ?

Just to be clear, all that should be evidenced and what they are interested in is savings and employment in the 6 months prior to the application?

That’s great thanks!

In terms of accommodation requirements, we will be staying with my parents at first. They own the property and have given me their latest council tax statement and then a letter from their solicitor confirming the purchase with a financial statement detailing the purchase.

Is that enough evidence ? I read somewhere about needing a land registry document?

What’s that ? They have already written a letter confirming we can live there and have our own room etc.

I can’t seem to find much information within the appendix about what is required as evidence of accommodation. I have the council tax and proof of purchase/financial statement but that’s it.

Thanks. I think we have all required documents for the accommodation part,

Re the financial, we’ve just got my bank statements delivered (on headed bank stationary etc) and have two letters from the bank for both accounts.

The letters are signed and are clearly on headed bank stationary but don’t have a stamp. I asked the manager of the bank (HSBC) and they said they don’t do stamps for that and the template letter they do is what they’ve used for customers who make these requests. I guess that is not a problem ?

So many things to worry about on these applications!

Also when my statements were sent they were sent out twice so they all say “Duplicate” at the top, I can’t see that being a problem?!

They are correct as no further stamping will be needed over official stationery which alone is enough.

Thats good to know.

Yeah it seems it isn't possible for them to stamp anything as I read quite a few things from other people applying saying the same thing.

One thing I have just realised is my salary gets paid in on the 28th of the month and my last bank statement is dated until the 26th. I just went in and asked them for another one for today's date but they were only able to print out a 'Temporary Statement' which has the balances, is on headed paper but doesn't have my address and is very clearly in a different format to the ones I requested in the post. Its got my name obviously, account number and shows my last salary payment. I guess that is ok? Not sure what else I can do here, conscious the 28 day rule has now started.

I have written a combined savings and declaration letter for the two accounts. Is it ok to do that all on 1 page, both accounts are from the same bank, one is just a savings account. I found a good template online and said how I am using my savings to make up the shortfall as my salary is just below the minimum requirement and declared the source of funds. I also listed all the 3 types of supporting documents (statements for each account & cover letters from bank)

As my money is split between them its not obvious to work out the lowest amount in the past 6 months. I have worked it out to be around 22,000 is it worth just writing a line in the letter saying this? I don't want them to think I am doing their job for them but equally given a number of transfers between the accounts 4 or 5 months ago it makes it a bit confusing.

Thanks again!

Usually a succinct declaration/covering letter is desirable so 1 page should be sufficient provided written relevantly

I tried to get them do that but they couldn't for some reason. I have requested another bank statement to include my last salary via the secure messaging online so hopefully that works. Not sure what else I can do...

Re the Land Registry, my parents have given me their copy of the 'Title Register' which is the official one, says 'Official copy of register of title' dated 2018 when they bought their property and it identifies them as the owners and when they bought it. 3 pages in total.

I guess this is what is required and I don't need to pay for the £3 downloadable 'Title register' copy online which is exactly the same?

Don't take risk for only £3 as to a couple of years old copy the UKVI can misconstrue as the property ownership could have been changed.

Yeah you are probably right, no point taking the risk. I just paid for it from the eservices.landregistry.gov.uk website and noticed it says at the top of the download that this 'is not an official copy'. I am sure I have read somewhere else on this website or online that isn't problem?

I’ve managed to get updated bank statements delivered from HSBC so don’t have to worry about the temporary ones.

I have had to scan and then send them to my wife via email as she has gone back to her country now. So all of my bank statements she has are the original copies apart from one scanned one, guessing this isn’t an issue ?

Re scanned documents, electronic signatures are ok right ? I’ve had to sign, scan and then send via email my savings and declaration letter to my wife, as well as parents accommodation letter.

Yeah you are probably right, no point taking the risk. I just paid for it from the eservices.landregistry.gov.uk website and noticed it says at the top of the download that this 'is not an official copy'. I am sure I have read somewhere else on this website or online that isn't problem?
Shouldn't be an issue

Thanks !

I’ve managed to get updated bank statements delivered from HSBC so don’t have to worry about the temporary ones.

I have had to scan and then send them to my wife via email as she has gone back to her country now. So all of my bank statements she has are the original copies apart from one scanned one, guessing this isn’t an issue ? It is not an issue.

Re scanned documents, electronic signatures are ok right ? I’ve had to sign, scan and then send via email my savings and declaration letter to my wife, as well as parents accommodation letter. They are OK, remember that they get uploaded electronically at the end of the day.
Thanks, worrying about nothing !

One other question, the below question in the application form is confusing me for some reason. I have two accounts so I should put the figures from both accounts 6 months ago for this part ? Or do I need to try and work out the lowest each account reached in the past 6 months ?


“What amount of savings are held in this account ?”

(Only include funds that have been in your account for the last 6 months)

If the funds in just one account meets the requirement, then you only need to enter details for that account.

I think I have to write both as my savings (from 6 months ago) was around 10,000 and has now reached 24,000 through transferring money from my current account which was £12,000 (from 6 months) and the current account dropped to as low as about £200 at one point as I transferred the bulk of it to my savings for safety and interest within this period.

So I am just getting confused about what to write in that bloody box. As I know my money hasn’t dropped below £20,000 in the past 6 months but don’t want to make a mistake whilst filling in the application.

As many accounts as you have that contains the funds you want to use and meeting the criteria for the 6months preceding application and that can be evidenced by accounts statements and reliable disclose the source.
However, the less paper work the better.

Thanks mate that is useful.

I think what is confusing me is because the form separates the two accounts. The two accounts combined my money does not drop below £20,000 which is £3000 more than we need. However if you take each account separately then its a different story, which is why I am confused what to put for that question.
