How do I apply post ILR if previous relationship has ended?

I have been a resident in the UK since 2006. I received my ILR in 2013 on the basis of being the unmarried partner of a british citizen as we were a couple since we met 2007. We were still living together as an unmarried couple till early 2015 but sadly the relationship had to end in early 2015 albeit on good terms. We have since then moved out of the apartment we shared as well.

Now I am really concerned as I would like to apply for naturalization sometime and I do not know how this will impact my application. Can I apply on the basis of my residence period here alone?. A lot of the documents like utilities, rental agreements, some bank statements etc are in joint names until early 2015 before we both moved out, does that mean these documents are no longer considered as viable supporting documents?. How do I proceed from here...

Your relationship break down should not have any effect on a naturalisation application if you are applying on the basis of 5 years residence.

None of these are required for naturalisation.

Please do read the links below for the requirements to qualify with 5 years residence and then if you have any questions, continue in this thread for advice.
