...driving for success
The immigration authorities may request a sponsor or applicant to provide evidence of the housing condition, of their proposed accommodation, to accompany their application.
This evidence must be from an independent body such as a qualified surveyor or an Environmental Health Officer.
The accommodation will be inspected and the officer must confirm that the property:
- Is free from Category 1 and 2 Hazards under the Housing Act 2004,
- Is in reasonable state of repair, and
- Has sufficient space to accommodate both the current occupiers and any additional people who propose to live there.
The following information will be required to support the inspection:
- Name, Date of Birth and Passport Number of the person seeking entry to the UK,
- Copy of a Tenancy Agreement or Proof of Ownership of the property, and
- Name and Date of Birth of other occupants in the property to be inspected
- Current Gas Safety Certificate for the property.
Should you wish us to carry out the inspection and produce a report please contact the Housing Renewal Team.
