You don't need copies of everything.

Thank you for your quick reply CR001!
Thank you for your advice, I will take out some unnecessary documents.
I was sending copies because I had read somewhere that the ECO can keep your originals if you don't send copies? And we will need the originals again to apply for the spouse visa later.

YOUR documents, except for payslips and bank statements, can be copies, ie title register etc. ECO don't expect the BC partner to submit everything original. Most people scan their documents to their partners. ECO's have absolutely no reason to keep original documents.

Okay, thank you very much for the clarification!
There's a lot of information out there, sometimes it can get a little confusing (:
