What is a property inspection report?
The UK immigration necessitates a property inspection report for specific immigration applications. This report serves as the only document that verifies to the entry clearance officer at the Home Office that an unbiased assessment has been carried out, and the lodging is deemed sufficient. Our reports are widely used for various types of applications, including Spouse visa, Visitor visa, and Further Leave to Remain (FLRM). Our team of adequately qualified surveyors ensures that our reports are accepted by the Home Office, providing our clients with the required assurance and peace of mind.

Immigration Accommodation Report & Entry Clearance Reports
The UK Visas and Immigration office (UKVI) state that applications for a visa to the UK from outside the EEC contain evidence of the type of housing and its condition for the proposed accommodation.
We can inspect the accommodation and provide an Immigration Accommodation report that will fulfill the UKVI Immigration requirements.
We inspect the sponsors accommodation and write a report detailing the property layout, size of rooms, number of occupants, any defects etc. The accommodation inspection will involve our surveyor assessing that the property:
1) Is free from Category 1 and 2 Hazards under the Housing Act 2004,
2) Is in a reasonable state of repair,
3) Is not statutorily overcrowded under the Housing Act 1985, Part X and shall have sufficient space to accommodate both the current occupiers and the applicant.
4) Is free from conditions that may present a public health nuisance.
The following information will be required to support the inspection in order to process the Report:
1) Name, Sex, Date of Birth, Current address of the applicant
2) Name and address of the sponsor
3). Copy of a Tenancy Agreement or Proof of Ownership of the property
4) Name and Date of Birth of other occupants in the property to be inspected
We conduct property inspections for immigration purposes to assist in applications for spouse visas, temporary work permits, settlement, and residency in the UK. Our expertise lies in offering Immigration Accommodation Certificates that comply with all the requirements of the Home Office and UK Border Agency. Additionally, our fast-track service means reports can be with you 1-2 days from instruction.
