Accomdation

Post by yaelhitch » Sun Jun 29, 2008 3:42 pm

I am applying for spouse visa for husband it was refused due to financees. I am moving out of my two bedroom flat so my rent is cheaper and working more hours to balance it all out.

I have looked into studio and 1 bedroom falts which are very small as rent cannot be over £400.

I am thinking about going into a shared house with 2 other girls. Its basicly a family home with the rooms let out for £320 a month. Me and my husband will have our own double bedroom but will share living room/Spam/bathroom. Its NOT a house converted into bedsits.
Do you think they will see this as adequate accomadtion

9.8 - Assessing adequate accommodation for couples wrote:You should be satisfied that the accommodation for a couple (or for fiancé(es)/proposed civil partners after they are married) complies with the following requirements:

* it is (or will be) owned or legally occupied for the exclusive use of the couple (see definition in section below); and
* it is capable of accommodating the couple, and any children, without overcrowding as defined in the Housing Act 1985 (see section below on overcrowding).

Depending on the circumstances of the case, there may be other relevant factors; for example, you should be satisfied that housing the couple in rented accommodation will not be in breach of any tenancy agreement as regards sub-letting (see below).

Yea i did have a read of that but some it is hard to understand.
I was worried at the part which said 'their exclusive use' but a bit further down it says

if the accommodation is not owned by the couple (or one of them), the Rules require that there be adequate accommodation which is for their exclusive use. This need not be as elaborate as a self-contained flat. It is acceptable for a couple to live in an existing household, e.g. that of a parent, uncle, aunt, sibling or friend, as long as they have at least a bedroom for their exclusive use.
