Applying For An Immigration Property Inspection 

When  you make an application to the UK Border Agency for entry clearance into the United Kingdom, you may be requested to obtain an independent assessment of the number of rooms and occupants for the proposed accommodation.

What is a Property Inspection?

People immigrating to the UK from outside the EEC must confirm that the housing they’re moving into will be suitable.

A property assessment is to ensure the property is safe, in a good state of repair and doesn’t pose a health and safety risk. It will also assess whether the property would become overcrowded if any more people were to move in. If the property meets the require standards then we will issue a confirmation letter which can be used as part of a visa application.

Housing Property Standards

When completing the property inspection the following standards are required:

  • the property is safe, in a good state of repair and doesn’t pose a health and safety risk;
  • the property does not share a bathroom or kitchen with another household – unless they are from the same family as the person(s) coming to the UK;
  • the property is owned or occupied exclusively by the sponsor / sponsor’s family (the property is not suitable, if it is shared with members of another family);
  • the property if rented has a copy of a current gas safety certificate (your landlord should provide a copy to you every 12 months);
  • the property has a sufficient number of rooms of adequate sizes so that an assessment can be made as to whether or not the property will become overcrowded if more people were to move in
