PROOF OF ACCOMMODATION UK Fiance VISA

[GJM2017]

Hi - UK Citizen applying to bring fiancé to UK. Meet all the specified criteria but have run into one significant stumbling block. I have had different advice from 3 lawyers, 2 UK and 1 Russia about this issue so thought I would ask on here to try and get something definitive.

I have been subletting in a 3 bedroom flat in London for the last 2 years. All the payments have went to the lead tenant and I have an electronic record of all these payments that can be provided as evidence. I have never signed a tenancy agreement. The lead tenant has a tenancy agreement in his name only.

My landlord is refusing to provide me with a tenancy agreement without me committing to another 12 months tenancy. I do not want to do this. I have been told by 1 UK lawyer that I need a tenancy agreement. Another has told me that I can provide an agreement in another tenants name coupled with a letter from the landlord acknowledging the legitimacy of the sublet and confirming he has no objection to us living there as a couple when my partner arrives.

So if I had a house inspection done, provided a tenancy agreement in lead tenants name (not mine), letter from landlord confirming sublet and no objection, letter from lead tenant confirming the same, bank statements reflecting the payments and various other proof of address - drivers license, credit card, bank statements etc. Would this be accepted as proof of accommodation or would this be grounds for rejection?

The alternative is to provide my parent's accommodation address. Only issue is that this address is in northern Ireland. Would it be possible to provide this address?

Thanks in advance for your help.
