Hello Good People,

I sent an email to my Wife (Sponsor) landlord requesting for a letter of no objection and assistance in applying for property inspection report and he has replied as below:
Morning XXX,
Unfortunately, I do not have a HMO licence to allow 5 people to live at the property.
The limit for not needing a licence in the first place is a maximum of 4 people sharing in one property.
I could apply for a licence but there is a cost to do that, can we discuss as soon as possible, maybe this weekend?
Kind regards,
Basically the house is shared and only one room is occupied. we also don,t have intention of living there as we are planning to move to a two bed house once my visa is approved. I have checked the cost of the said HMO licence and its too expensive (£820).
Please someone help do i really need the licence? can property inspection be done without the licence and how can we approach this issue.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

Landlord is acting very responsibly because he/she don't want to breach the licensing criteria. If you still want to live at same place even for the visa purposes then of course will have to assist your landlord in buying the appropriate licence because that cost of licence will arise due to your circumstances. If you have no friend/family who can assist you in fulfilling this accomodation requirement then better to rent elsewhere.

Hi Seagul,
Thank you so much for your comments. My wife has met the landlord and explained to him that we wont be living there permanently. She is the only one living at the property and the landlord is happy to let me stay there as we sort our own accommodation. He has consequently agreed to write me NOC letter and signed, however am not sure if we still need property inspection as My wife is the only tenant at the place ever since last September and he doesn't anticipate having any tenant. Part of the letter reads:

I, Landlord Name, can confirm that I am the landlord / Owner of the 4 bedroom property located at xxxxxx.

I can confirm there are 4 bedrooms, living room and two separate bathroom and toilet at this property.

I can confirm xxxx has lived in the property since January 2018 as a tenant and has never missed any rent payments...............................

Please advise your thoughts. Do we need inspection done or would this surface with a copy of the contract?
Thanks Seagul.

Previously you said that it is a shared accommodation but if not then property inspection wont be needed if your partner is not living with none-related adults. But also remember that UKVI can easily find out who else is living if someone is not supplying their name and assuming thats not in your case then you will only need tenancy agreement, landlord noc letter and if possible then a council tax bill.

Hi Seagul,

Yes i stated its shared as its designed as a shared accommodation, but only my wife occupies it at the moment as there has not been any other tenant since last September and with the housing slow down the landlord anticipates there wont be any other tenant soon.
I will talk to the landlord about property inspection as i think then its better be safe than sorry.

Thank you so much Seagul for your input. much appreciated.

Hi All,

We are planning to submit spouse visa early next month and one question is, if i send my Wife (sponsor) the link and password to my application, would she be able to pay the fees and IHS from UK?
Please advise if this would work.

Hi All,

My wife started her job with her employer back in 2005 and her pay rate per hour is indicated as £7.20/Hr but employer letter stated £8.7/Hr, would this create any confusion to the entry clearing officer? or should we ask employer to give a contract amendment letter?

Thank you all

Indicated where?

There is no requirement to submit an employment contract!!

Manugmedia · Post by **Manugmedia** » Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:00 pm

Sorry Korekt,

The contract states her per hour rate is £7.20 per hour, that was back in 2015, but she has been given a pay rise to £8.70 to date as indicted by the employer letter.

Should i do away with the employment contract then?

CR001 · Post by **CR001** » Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:03 pm

It isn't required.

You only need payslips, bank statements and en employer letter (single page) containing your key current employment details and how long you have been employed.

It shouldnt be a pay rise rather an annual rise towards national wage rate which will be £8.72 in April

Read page 38 of above as providing contract is not mandatory. Also a lot of employers now only issue a contract on very pages like a letter unlike in past where you receive bundle of pages.

Hi All,
Question:
What is their annual income before tax for this employment in GBP (£)?
How do we calculate annual income, is it simply adding up the 6 months and multiplying by 2 or do we go with last years P60 pay?

Also do we scan the whole of applicant passport even the blank pages without stamps?

Thank you all

Dont attach/follow P60 as the income showing on it is not relevant for visa purposes. If you have varying income then use following formula:
total of all income during the last 6 months /6*12=

There are mixed experienced/opinions but better to scan all.
