Spouse Visa Property Inspection Report
A property-specific accommodation assessment for spouse and partner applications where evidence about the proposed home may be relevant.
Accommodation information for spouse and partner applications
Where accommodation evidence is relevant to a spouse or partner application, an independent report may help describe the property and household arrangements. It can record the rooms available, room measurements, existing occupants and the proposed arrival of the applicant.
A report is not automatically required for every spouse or partner application. The applicant should check the current requirements and seek immigration advice where needed.

How statutory overcrowding is considered
The statutory room and space standards are set out in Part X of the Housing Act 1985. The assessment depends on room dimensions, the rooms that can be counted, the number of occupants and applicable age-related provisions.
We record the relevant property and household information within the agreed scope. If you need advice on how the rules apply to your visa application, please speak to an immigration adviser or solicitor.
Before you book
A property inspection report is accommodation evidence only. It does not guarantee that an application will be successful, does not confirm that all immigration requirements are met and does not replace advice from a regulated immigration adviser.
A physical inspection allows the inspector to view and measure the property directly. Any remote or photo-based service is subject to separate agreement and relies on information supplied by the client.
Frequently asked questions
Is a spouse visa property inspection report compulsory?
No. It is not automatically required for every spouse or partner application. Check the evidence needed for your own circumstances.
Can the report include the applicant before they arrive in the UK?
Yes. Proposed occupants and intended sleeping arrangements can be recorded where the information is supplied. The report should make clear that the applicant is a proposed occupant.
What if children or other relatives already live at the property?
Please provide the current household details, including ages where relevant, so the accommodation assessment can consider the proposed household as a whole.
