WHAT IS A PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT?
The property inspection report for immigration also known as an accommodation certificate is required for certain types of entry clearance applications. This is the only document that proves to the Entry Clearance Officer an independent assessment of the accommodation has taken place and the property is suitable for habitation.
The property must be safe, in a good state of repair and will not become overcrowded with the arrival of the applicant (s). In determining statutory overcrowding, the number of rooms, their size and the occupants are assessed.
The immigration property inspection report can be used to support the following types of applications:
- Spouse visa
- Fiance visa
- Visitor visa
- Child dependent visa
- Further leave to remain applications

Why Choose SSG for Your Manchester Immigration Housing Report?

Highly Skilled Environmental Health Surveyors: Unlike basic property professionals, our lead surveyor is an accomplished, university-trained Environmental Health Practitioner holding a Master’s degree in Environmental Health and full professional membership with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH).

-
Protection for Your Application: Reports or letters written by standard estate agents, letting agents, or basic domestic EPC assessors do not carry the necessary environmental health credentials and may severely jeopardise your visa application.
