Property Inspection Report For Immigration - Oldham
What is a property inspection report?
We produce property inspection reports for the purposes of immigration in the Oldham area. The property inspection report demonstrates your accommodation meets adequate housing standards stipulated by UKVI (United Kingdom Visa and Immigration).
The property inspection report is typically used as a supporting document in settlement visa cases 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.
​

-
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.
