What is a Property Inspection Report for Immigration

A Property Inspection Report is an independent report may be required by the Home Office for entry clearance or settlement to establish that after the arrival of the applicant the accommodation will not be overcrowded and is suitable for living under the UK Housing Act. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that the property meets the minimum statutory housing standards. This includes the general condition of the property as well as determining whether additional person(s) living in it will make it overcrowded.

Assessing adequate accommodation requirements, the ECO should be satisfied that the the property is capable of accommodating the visa applicant (s), and any children, without overcrowding as defined in the Housing Act 1985. A Housing Report is a suporting document to demonstrate that the adequate accommodation requirement is met.

“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.”
