Hi Chris,
I just got a reply:
Several people who applied for a visa from Iran last year got these
'verbal' requirements from the UAE/Turkey embassies. These are based on the
information here
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/visiting/general/docume…
They were told that these requirements are designed to satisfy the
following clause from the same website:
"The person who is 'sponsoring' your visit cannot give a guarantee that you
will comply with the terms of your visa, or *that you will leave the UK at
the end of your visit*.
They can help you with your application and provide you with the relevant
supporting documents listed in our guidance, but you must provide these
documents to us yourself."

Hey Chris,
That was the information relayed to me, I will ask the person who asked
the question for the source. It maybe be at the UAE/Turkey embassy
website.

Hi Muhammad,
I was just looking on the UK Border Agency website and could not see any
mention of 10,000 USD requirements or property ownership. Do you have any
further info?
(I appreciate that it will still be difficult for Iranians to get a visa
even if that isn't the case...)
