Property Inspection Report Halifax & Calderdale

Specialists in immigration Inspection
Accommodation Certificate Halifax

What is a property insepction report?

We offer property inspection reports also referred to as accommodation certificates for the purposes of immigration in Calderdale and Halifax. This document demonstrates your accommodation meets adequate housing standards stipulated by UKVI (United Kingdom Visa and Immigration).  

 

Accommodation certificates are typically used as a supporting document for UK entry clearance visa's which includes: spouse, fiancé, and family visas. It is the only document that highlights an independent assessment has taken place of your accommodation to the entry clearance officer and the accommodation is adequate.

Accommodation Certificates may also be referred to as:

- UKVI Property Inspection

- Housing Survey 

- Immigration Housing Report

- Immigration Housing Survey Report

A housing survey from Scientific Services Group LTD ensures your accommodation meets the required housing standards.  

The accommodation certificate is produced by surveying the house and looking at the below areas:

  • The number of rooms and occupants of the proposed accommodation.

  • Ensure the property is safe, in a good state of repair and doesn't pose a health and safety risk.

  • Checks whether the property would become overcrowded if more people move in.

Following the housing survey, we will provide a property inspection report which is valid for 12 weeks.
