Yes my wife did. We gave a friends address for delivery of renunciation and it got delivered while we were away.

Whoever I've gotten to know and any potential referees have obviously only known me for a year and I purposely lost all touch with people who knew me before...

Isn't it just a number of documents plus the application form and a covering letter that we have to submit? Do I really need a solicitor for that or can I do it myself? Can someone please share their experience if they've done it themselves? In terms of documents for evidence, I've got 3 or 4 MARAC ...
