The Home Office/UKVI has issued an information guide which states that an immigration inspection accommodation report can prove that the Sponsor satisfies the accomodation requirements of the Immigration Rules for all Entry Clearance and Settlement applications (the Home Office calls this document a ‘property inspection report’).

An immigration inspection accommodation report is a document in the Home Office/UKVI supporting documents information guide which can prove to the Entry Clearance Officer that you have ‘Obtain[ed] an independent assessment of the number of rooms and occupants of the proposed accommodation. A report from a suitably qualified body certifying that a personal inspection has been carried out and giving details of accommodation inspected is usually acceptable for this purpose. Above all, the Entry Clearance officer must be satisfied that the accommodation will not become overcrowded within the definition of the Housing Act 1985 or that it will not contravene public health regulations’.
Therefore under current Immigration Rules the Entry Clearance Officer has to be satisfied that an immigration inspection accommodation report has been obtained from an independent and suitably qualified professional to confirm the intended accommodation:
There is a significant risk that a UK entry clearance or settlement application will be refused by an Entry Clearance Officer if an immigration inspection accommodation report is not supplied with an initial application to show that the ‘accommodation requirement’ has been satisfied under HC395 of the Immigration Rules. We have come across a significant number of refusal letters because an immigration inspection accommodation report was not provided in an initial settlement application. Please visit our testimonials page for recent case studies.
