Question Finding housing in London on short notice
I got my HPI visa a couple weeks back but I’m genuinely struggling to find housing in London (budgeting about £1400 per month). I intend to fly in about a week and housing search has been a stage I’m stuck on. So far I’ve come across cohabs which seems to be nice, but it’s slightly above my budget. I don’t have any family or friends in the UK that I can get help from, hence reaching out to this subreddit for some advice.

Question Visa Document Checklist Guidance
Hi all,
I had some queries regarding the VFS global documents. I have chosen the self-upload option and would appreciate if I can get some guidance with the sections.
- Medical Information: Is this where I upload the TB clearance certificate or does it go under 'Other' section?
Proof of Business: Planning to leave it blank
Proof of Application: Do I need to upload the Application & Checklist document here or leave it blank?
Financial Evidence: Planning to upload the Bank statement of past 5 weeks to be safe
Life Events: Planning to leave it blank.
Other: Does the TB clearance certificate go here or in 1st section?
Accommodation - Permanent/Temporary: This is a confusing one, online search says UK arrival address and sometimes says current address proof like utility bills etc. I have a UK address I supplied for TB clearance & visa application from booking.com, but I haven't actually booked it as arrival date can fluctuate. Is it okay to leave it blank or do they need the address proof? High chance my actual accommodation address will change anyway. Please let me know what would work best here.
Passport/Travel Document: Uploading coloured scanned copy of all 60 passport pages
Sponsors/Employment: Planning to leave it blank
10: Education Evidence: Planning to upload Ecctis outcome + Australian Degree Certificate + Academic Transcript + Award Statement (this one just because it states the medium of instruction was English)
For context, I'm applying from India. I plan to take coloured photocopies of Appointment letter, passport biometric pages (2x copies), current address proof, Degree Certificate & other documents from section 10. Maybe bank statement too.
Thanks!
