Not possible if the OP is out of the UK and doesn't have a valid visa as landlords are required to see evidence of the right to reside.geoeng wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 11:06 amOthers here are more knowledgeable on NOC letters than I. Since your partner is searching for flats rather than you joining him in a current one, you may be better off just asking to be included on the tenancy agreement, if possible, as I don't think you'd need an NOC letter in that case.
1. NOC letter must have been issued within 28 days before the submission of application. Don't secure such tenancy where you won't get that as many landlord/estate agency reluctant to issue that.Elle268 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 10:59 amHello
My partner is currently in the process of searching for flats, so we can meet the accommodation requirement for the spouse visa application and have ready for us to live in together for when/if the application is processed.
I understand the application requires us to provide the tenancy agreement and a NOC.
A few questions:
1) Before he proceeds with securing anything, I am keen he agrees the NOC with the letting/estate agent. I have read on some of the other threads in a few instances that this was agreed to and then later down the track they didn’t make good. Is it possible to have the NOC prepared and ready to go when the tenancy agreement is signed? Does it have to be dated within 28 days of the application? Our application won’t be submitted for another few months.
2) Can the letting/estate agent sign the NOC? Acting on behalf of the landlord? Or do they need to get permission from the landlord first, in which case the landlord should sign the NOC anyway? Letting/Estate Agent and Landlord seem to be used interchangeably on these forums, but the guidance seems to refer to ‘landlord’ only?
I would appreciate your help. Thank You.
It wholly depends on what type of arrangement the agent has with the Landlord, i.e. full managed property or letting/vetting only.Has anyone ever come across a situation where the Estate Agent has forwarded the request for an NOC to the landlord? I suppose this suggests the Estate Agent isn’t familiar with the NOC requirement and if the landlord agrees to it then everything should be okay? Any thoughts?
No requirement to add your name once a tenancy agreement is signed and active.Once the visa has been processed, would I be required to add my name to the tenancy agreement? Or since the NOC is in place I wouldn’t need to?
Initial Shorthold Tenancy Agreement is usually for a fixed term, i.e. 6 months or 12 months. They are never 'rolling contract' from the start.And finally, how long should a tenancy agreement be for? Would a rolling contract be acceptable for the visa application?
Your friend can't sublet his house to anyone without the landlord permission. You will still need the landlord's permission like noc letter and then either he get amended his existing tenancy agreement by adding your name on it as well or you agree separately with that landlord.Elle268 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:23 pmThank you CR001.
Another question – if a friend or relative rents and has a spare double bedroom (or living room?) in their property available for us, what documents would we need to provide for the visa application? Would it be their tenancy agreement and the NOC signed by their landlord?
Yes
It will not be counted
We applied for the initial spouse visa planning to live in a small property owned by my husband's mother and stepfather. It was an unusual place as it was a holiday cottage. If you do something similar feel free to DM me and I will explain all the documents we provided. It *was* tricky and it very briefly held up the application.Elle268 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:23 pmThank you CR001.
