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.
What is included on property inspection report?
- Name, date of birth and passport number of visa application.

Check if your home is overcrowded by law
Your home may be legally overcrowded if there are not enough rooms or space for the number of people who live there. A household is overcrowded if it has fewer bedrooms than it needs to avoid sharing, based on the age, sex and relationship of household members.
Many people who contact us find that they are not legally overcrowded even though their living conditions are very cramped
Contact us if you think you may be living in an overcrowded property and may not suitable for your visa application. We will guide you and provide impartial advise.
How many people can occupy a room?
Under housing law, there are two ways to calculate if your home is overcrowded.
- The room standard: By the number of rooms for people to sleep in. Section 325 of Housing Act 1985 (PART X OVERCROWDING)
- The space standard: By the amount of space in the home and the number of people living in it. Section 326 of Housing Act 1985 (PART X OVERCROWDING)
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 |
| 5+ | 2 per extra room |
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.
Count how many people live in your home
- anyone aged 10 or over counts as 1 person
- children aged 1 to 9 only count as half a person
- babies under 1 year old do not count at all
FAQ: Statutory overcrowding and Bedrooms
Under the legal rules, these all count as rooms you can sleep in:
- bedrooms
- living rooms and dining rooms
- box rooms, studies or home offices
- bathrooms, toilets and corridors
- small kitchens and utility rooms
- any room that is less than 4.65 square metres (50 square feet)
2 people usually can share a room if they’re:
- a couple
- under 10 years old - it doesn’t matter if they’re girls or boys
- under 16 years old - if they’re both girls or both boys
A person who is 16 years old or over needs their own bedroom. i.e he / she can not sleep with anyone else unless they are couple.
