All your evidence should be ideally dated before the application date. UKVI may not accept an evidence dated later

There is one at the end of your whole application.
do you mean question which says any other reasons for wanting to stay in UK?

There is nothing additional question on ILR form for extra comments?
Additional information section or you write a cover note if you think it's worth that.
thank you that is noted.

What date does the employer confirmation letter need to be done for (e.g. is it 28 days from date of application). Planning to submit online application in a couple of weeks. Is there a date for bank statements too, e.g. they need to be within 28 days date of submitting application online?
Specified evidence such as the above you asked needs to be within 28days of application submission.

Thanks to you and Zimba.

Is all evidence needed within 28 days prior to application? Yes, specified Evidence.

So say I submitted my application on 10th September, every single piece needs to be before?

What if any of evidence is obtained after 10th September like bank statements?
Evidence relevant to and in support of the application should be before or by submission date.

I am the homeowner of the property that my partner (applicant) stays in. I have paid of the mortgage.

I know as part of ILR I need to provide letter that my partner is living at my property etc.

Do I need proof to show I am homeowner? I do not have a mortgage statement anymore and title deeds are hard to get hold off.

All I have is a mortgage close letter but not sure this is clear enough I have paid it off.

There is a £7 OC1 form regards to title deeds? What is difference between £3 and £7 version?

The £7 title deeds are "official copies" which can be presented as proof, the £3 version is an extract, may not have all detail.
Note the disclaimer on the form:
"This is not an official copy. It does not take into account if there’s a pending application with HM Land Registry. If you need to prove property ownership, for example, for a court case, you’ll need to order an official copy of the register."

Thank you that makes sense.

How many declarations are there for ILR. On documents section, it is showing just 1 required declaration??

I recall for extension visa, there were like 4 declarations?

Thank you Zimba but I thought these consent forms were for spouse extension visa?

My spouse got extension visa in April 2021. We need to submit evidence of us living together, is the following ok?

2021: Letter to me x 1 (October), Letter to spouse x1 (October), Joint gas electric bill (December)
2022: Joint Council tax bill (Mar), Joint water bill (July) Joint home insurance letter (Aug),
2023: Joint Council tax bill (Mar), Joint Home insurance letter (Sept)

The 2 home insurance letters are from different companies.

Consent forms apply to EVERY application. There is no specific requirement for cohabitation documents so any document can be used. The advice is to provide at least 6 documents, covering the last two years from at least 3 sources

Thank you for your kind help.

can the same source be used 3 times?, e.g. council tax bill 2022 and council tax bill 2023.

Do you think the list I have given above is ok to cover?

Just to check - twice over 2 years? E.g. council tax bill for 2022 and 2023.

Can scans be made in colour as long as less than 6mb?

In the documents required for ILR, it states to provide All previous travel documents that have been used to travel to or remain in the UK.

What is travel documents?

Is this tickets etc? We had already sent back old BRP back as we got new BRP for spouse extension visa

Travel documents are passports.
Other people (whi can't get passports) may use travel documents instead, hence the name.

Thank you for confirming.

One more quick question, My husband is the homeowner with no mortgage for my accommodation. I have said this in the ''who provides you with accommodation'' question.

However, further down, there is a question which states ''do you currently live with parents, friends or family rent-free''? Should the answer be yes or no for this?

Just reading the question it appears the emphasis is on "rent free" - in your case I think it should be NO, spouse normally owns half of the property, if named on the deeds.
