Property rental income may be used for spouse/partner/fiancé visa applications for the UK if certain conditions from the UK immigration rules are met and specified evidence is provided. Any rental income from property, in the UK or overseas, must be from a property that is:
• owned by the person
• not their main residence and will not be so if the application is granted, except in the circumstances specified in paragraph 20(e)
• if ownership of the property is shared with a third party – only income received from their share of the property can be counted.
