What is a property inspection report?
A property/housing inspection report is a document required by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) to demonstrate to the Entry Clearance Officer that you have obtained an assessment of the proposed accommodation for the applicant.
The housing inspection report for immigration purposed will be required for all applications for the purpose of settlement.
Spouses and civil partners;
Fiancé(e)s and proposed civil partner;
Unmarried and same-sex partners;
Children; Parents, grandparents and other dependent relatives.
Why do foreign nationals need immigration accommodation assessments?
For the simple reason that not having the accommodation assessment can lead to your settlement visa application being refused on accommodation grounds. In July 2012 ancillary visa documentation became far more rigorous. From past experience, clients have chosen to side-step the report in order to cut costs, however the costs involved in obtaining the UKBA housing inspection report would be far less than a refusal of your application.

Are we qualified to carry out the accommodation inspection report for UK visa purposes?
When an application is made to the British High Commission for Entry Clearance into the United Kingdom, they request that you:
"Obtain an independent assessment of the number of rooms and occupants of the proposed accommodation. A report from a suitably qualified body certifying that a personal inspection has been carried out and giving details of accommodation inspected is usually acceptable for this purpose. Above all, the Entry Clearance officer must be satisfied that the accommodation will not become overcrowded within the definition of the Housing Act 1985 or that it will not contravene public health regulations."
We can confirm that we are an multi-award winning independent architectural surveying practice, we have been carrying out the housing inspection reports for the home office for over five years.

Why should I choose to use HAD rather than someone else?
We are the UK’s leading providers of UKBA property survey reports. Unfortunately there are companies, especially estate agents offering this service that are not qualified to undertake these inspections. Clients have come to us with their applications declined as the UKBA Entry Clearance Officer was not been satisfied.
We will guarantee that our report will be accepted in writing for you and that we are fully registered, please give us a call to discuss further. We have a 100% pass rate and more than happy for you to confirm this with the Home office.
