Been accepted for a mortgage in principle, they want proof of address for last 3 years, 2 of the years I was in a rented room and wasn't on electrol roll. I had my bills sent to my parents address. On mortgage application I put my previous address as my rented accommodation so what could I use as proof of address? Would a letter off landlady be accepted?

Yes a signed letter from the LL would be acceptable, they might contact the LL for further proof.
You had nothing whatsoever sent to you? Council tax, bank statements etc?0 -
No nothing, my bank statements went to my mum. Wasn't driving at the time. The lady already paid full council tax so was no need to put me on that neither.0
