Mortgage application documents

Options
Hi

Just want to check if this is a problem when applying for mortgages;

HSBC have asked for non bank account statements as proof of address. But because we're renting in flat (communal post area) my husband kept most of all his documents still at home address. Only proof of address will be utility bills & council tax I believe

Thanks

    I'd assume council tax bill/utilities bills/driving license would be fine?
