I'm renting a flat with my girlfriend and we want to move out into a house with my sister. We are all in our early 20s.
I'm just a bit worried that landlords will not like this arrangement for some reason.
Is it possible to get a joint tenancy arangement thing for three people???
It is quite a posh area and there will be a lot of other people after this house, so do you think we are less likely to get chosen when there are rich, mature couples?

Yes you can get a joint tenancy with as many people as you want, normally between 2-4. I don't know why a landlord wouldn't mind a sibling and a partner/spouse? If I were reviewing applicants, I wouldn't mind.

Some Landlords may prefer 'mature' Tenants - since these are less likely to trash the place having a 'student' party - others prefer younger Tenants since these are less likely to make a fuss when eg. the boiler breaks down & is not fixed for 24 hrs .. needless to say, no Landlord wants pets or kids (both can totally trash the place much faster than any student).
HOWEVER when it comes down to it, they will choose the ones with the best References and best record on paying the Rent on time.

It's all to do with whether you can pay the rent and the bills, live a decent life and look after the place. If you are decent people, you will get a look in.

Landlords usually dont care as long as the rent is paid but you have to let your landlord know so you wont get evicted trust me I work in real estate

If all 3 of you have good references, good jobs to pay the rent and you present yourselves well, then I think you will have just as good a chance as anyone else.

You may have a problem! If your references are great, you have a chance.
