What is a property inspection report?
We produce property inspection reports for the purposes of immigration in the Wakefield area. This document 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, fiance, 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.
​
Property inspection reports may also be referred to as:
​
- Accommodation Certificate
- 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 property inspection report 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.
