Accommodation query

Its our plan to live with a friend in London prior to moving in to our own place. The friend has no problem with us living there. He privately rents his place(which i take it we need a letter from his landlord too?) His landlord lives in Barcelona so would it be OK for him to email a letter?

Also, i actually own my own home in Scotland. Even though we won't be living in that house does that go any further in helping our chances?

Thanks

I would imagine the letter from his landlord would need to be send via post, as anyone could forge an e-mail saying it was okay for you to live there. Remember also, you would need to show that the property your friend rents is a suitable accomodation for the additional person(s) without making it overcrowded.

If you're living in London, I wouldn't think your owning a property in Scotland would have anything to do with anything unless you were intending on living IN Scotland AT that property.

I have sent e-mails and faxes in support of accommodation...not great, but sometimes necessary.
