With regards to renting Private accommodation I am not entirely sure of the additional supporting documents you can provide, however, you can, in the first instance, provide:

-Tenancy agreement
-Letter from Landlady confirming your tenancy and that it is OK for your spouse to live there and that all bills/rent will remain unchanged.
-Utility Bills (Gas, Electricity, Phone etc)
-Council Tax Statement/Bill

Council rented accommodation:
-Tenancy agreement
-Letter from tenancy manager confirming your tenancy (they might not write that it is OK for your spouse to live there, not that it is not OK, it's just something I have found a lot of them do not do- there is no law stating your spouse cannot come and live with you in your rented council property, this only has an impact if you're in receipt of any housing/council related benefits).
-Rent account statement (if you don't receive this automatically, you can request this from them)
-Council Tax Statement/Bill
-Utility Bills (Gas, Electricity, Phone etc)

There maybe more that I have left off the list, especially regarding the private accommodation but hopefully others here maybe able to assist with that!

1. You could try but apparently (I am not sure if this has changed) but there is a limit for foreign/international purchases, so it might get declined.
2. It should be your bank rate unless your bank is called 'Black Market Bank'
3. There is not 'the best' it is the one that it is most convenient for the applicant to get to (people correct me please). Remember you have to go and submit your passport and do your biometrics etc.
4. Information that you wish to explain/clarify further, please use this space!

You still need the borough council to confirm the room meets the required standard.
The tenancy agreement is between you and your landlord.
As said earlier that you need the confirmation from the borough council that the room meets the uk embassy requirement.
Speaking from experience.

The thing is some Councils won't write this. They can confirm the number of rooms that are in the property and that you are the tenant. They even consider a living room as an additional room nowadays.

You will have to talk to your bank. Maybe because it's a large amount some banks do that. I was able to use mine to do both.

Definitely from your bank

House needs help on this, I submitted my documents today but was unable to pay for special delivery return of my documents. The post office guy said they can't do special return of my documents because of its quantity, he claimed that the service was meant for smaller-letter/documents.

My question is will they send my document back with the envelope I inserted into the package?

Text me the council name so that I can find out for you.

Hey Guys

I still haven't got my documents back from the HO. My husband got his visa since 10/11. I thought that the documents would have been back by now.
How long does it normally take?

Nonsense, your post office guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I included a paid special delivery envelope with mine and it was used to return the documents.

You can post up to 20kg with special delivery!

It's not unheard of. Another lady in this thread mentioned she had the same problem. My tenancy manager was pretty cool but he said he couldn't write that specifically as there isn't any law stating that my husband cannot come and join me.
