Are we qualified to carry out the property inspection report for UK visa purposes?
When an application is made to the British High Commission for Entry Clearance into the United Kingdom, they request that you:
"Obtain an independent assessment of the number of rooms and occupants of the proposed property. A report from a suitably qualified body certifying that a personal inspection has been carried out and giving details of property inspected is usually acceptable for this purpose. Above all, the Entry Clearance officer must be satisfied that the property will not become overcrowded within the definition of the Housing Act 1985 or that it will not contravene public health regulations."
We can confirm that we are a multi-award winning independent architectural surveying practice, we have been carrying out the property inspection reports for the home office for many years.
