The gov.uk guidance says:

"If you do not have an address in the UK yet, you can:

• upload a statement from the person you will be living with and proof of their address"

Does the bit about "proof of their address" mean we have to provide one of the relative's utility bills or similar?

Yes.... mortgage/rental agreements, utility bills,deeds etc showing that the place exists and they live there.

I uploaded a letter from my sister (home owner) which said I was welcome to stay there, & she could provide proof of ownership if necessary, and a copy of a hotel booking (provisional and not paid for) for the first few days.
TOR granted almost straight away and with no requests for more info.

Yes, we did this recently for our daughter. I sent her a pdf of a recent utility bill to include in her ToR application. it worked fine.

Note also that she used the ToR approval to make more than 1 shipment. The bulk of her belongings are coming by sea but she shipped her musical instruments via FedEx and the the same ToR approval worked.
