What is a Property Inspection Report for UK visa and Immigration?

A property inspection report is an independent report prepared by a competent professional that can be used for the Home Office for entry clearance or settlement visa application to establish that after the arrival of the visa applicant the accommodation will not be overcrowded and is suitable for living under the UK Housing Act.

Accommodation is not adequate if it is, or will be, overcrowded. Under paragraph 6 of the Immigration Rules, the meaning of overcrowded is the meaning in the Housing Act 1985, the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 or the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1988 (as appropriate).

The British High Commission or embassies require applicants to confirm their housing meets certain standards before they can move to the UK. This is to make sure that their living conditions are safe and not too crowded.

If you're unsure about the specific requirements for your visa application, please contact us to consult with our qualified surveyors. We can provide guidance on the necessary documentation and help you prepare a strong application.

Under housing law, there are two ways to calculate if your home is overcrowded.

 

Statutory overcrowding is when there are too many people living in your home using either of the calculations.

Room standard

No of rooms No of people allowed
1 2
2 3
3 5
4 7.5

This standard does not include children under 10.

Space standard

Floor area No of people allowed
10.2 square metres (110 square feet) 2
8.4-10.1 square metres (90-19 square feet) 1.5
6.5-8.3 square metres (70-89 square feet) 1
4.6-6.4 square metres (50-69 square feet) 0.5

The floor area should be measured per room and the total of occupiers totalled for the whole dwelling.
