What Will the Inspector Look For During the Property Inspection?

During the inspection, the surveyor will assess whether the property provides suitable accommodation for the proposed occupants.

The inspection will consider whether the property:

• Is free from Category 1 hazards under the Housing Act 2004.
• Is in a reasonable state of repair.
• Provides sufficient rooms to accommodate the current occupants and any additional people who propose to live at the property.
• Provides suitable sleeping arrangements for the proposed occupants.
• Meets relevant housing and overcrowding standards.

The inspection is intended to establish whether the accommodation is suitable and whether the proposed occupancy would result in statutory overcrowding.

What Happens After the Property Inspection?

Once the property inspection and investigation have been completed, the report will contain relevant information about the property, the sponsor and the visa applicant.

Depending on the circumstances, the report can include:

• The address of the property inspected.
• The name and date of birth of the sponsor and visa applicant.
• The present and proposed sleeping arrangements.
• An assessment of whether the property is fit for human habitation under Section 604 of the Housing Act 1985, as amended.
• An assessment of whether the property would become statutorily overcrowded by the addition of the person or persons seeking entry to the UK.
• The name and contact details of the inspecting officer for further information.

The report provides evidence about the suitability of the accommodation and the proposed occupancy arrangements for use in a relevant UK immigration or visa application.

Receiving Your Accommodation Certificate

After the inspection has been completed, we will prepare the Property Inspection Report / Accommodation Certificate, stating whether the property meets the relevant accommodation standards and whether the proposed occupancy is suitable.

The report can be used as accommodation evidence for a UK visa or immigration application, where an applicant needs to demonstrate that suitable accommodation is available.

The report assesses whether the property provides a safe and healthy environment for the occupants and whether the proposed occupancy satisfies relevant overcrowding standards under the applicable housing legislation.
