Hi forum
I have question regarding Accommodation requirement for ILR.
I am renting a room in a 3 bed shared house with two other people and paying £50 per week including all bills and council tax.
The Tenancy agreement is one person name living with us and he is paying to landlord rent.
Now my question is
1.What evidence do I need for accommodation? I got Tenancy Agreement and rent book only.Utility bills are on other name.
2.Do I need Property Inspection Report and Room Photo
Is this enough? What else do i need for accommodation?
Anyone with this experience please share with me.
I am a single person without any dependent.
Kind regards

I think as long as you have got Tenancy Agreement and rent book, you will be fine.

If your name isn't on the Tenancy agreement you will need a letter from the landlord confirming you have the right to live there.
Under what visa category of ILR are you applying under?

evidence of proof of accomodation surely is not a requirement for ILR via any of economic routes

Which is why I've queried the visa category.

This is access to child visa under paragraph 248D.There is a requirement for accommodation own or occupy exclusively.

What about council tax and other evidence?
Do I need property inspection report and house photographs?
Do I need house deeds to prove who owns house?

I dont think you need to show house deed as you dont own a house, but you may need a property inspction report from a qualified Surveyor. Last I checked they cost around £350 but that was 3 years back when I was required to produce them for applying for dependant visa for me wife. Plus it would help if you had a council tax statement with your name on it as additional proof.
I dont think it is necessary but I had the property inspection report verified by a solicitors letter as well, it makes your application rock solid.
To add to above, at that time even I was living in a shared accomodation, but it was not a issue as long as the number people living in the property are as per council guidlines and the house has all the safety features required for a HMO (that is if you tell the surveyor its a HMO). And most inportant, the room you are occupying is big enough for 2 people.
Call a surveyor company and they can tell you the requirements in detail. If you dont know any, ask your council, they should be able to recommend some to you.
