Common questions about property inspection reports
What is a property inspection report for UK immigration?
It is an independent report describing the proposed accommodation, relevant rooms, occupants and observable condition information for use as accommodation evidence where appropriate.
Is it the same as a structural survey?
No. This is an immigration accommodation assessment, not a structural survey, valuation, electrical inspection or gas safety test.
Can rented accommodation be inspected?
Yes, subject to access. The report can describe rented accommodation and the proposed household arrangements.
Can shared accommodation be inspected?
Yes. Shared properties can be assessed where the relevant rooms, facilities and occupancy details can be confirmed.
How long does the inspection take?
The time depends on the property and household circumstances. We can explain the expected appointment and reporting timescale when you enquire.
Does the report guarantee a visa outcome?
No. The report is accommodation evidence only. Immigration decisions are made by the relevant authority.
