Accommodation Inspection Report
Independent property and accommodation assessments describing the rooms, dimensions, household arrangements and relevant observations within the agreed scope.
Property and accommodation assessment
An accommodation inspection report provides a structured description of a property and its proposed use by the household. It may be commissioned to help explain whether the accommodation is suitable for the intended occupants or to provide supporting property information for another purpose.
The report scope is agreed in advance and depends on the property, the information required and the type of service arranged.
Inspection details
- Property type and general description
- Room layout and room use

Physical and remote services
Physical property inspection
A physical visit allows the inspector to view the property directly, take relevant measurements and record observations about the accommodation within the agreed scope.
Access to the relevant rooms and facilities will normally be needed to complete the agreed assessment.
Remote or photo-based service
Where a remote service is agreed, the report relies on photographs, measurements and other information supplied by the client. The client is responsible for ensuring that the information provided is complete and accurate.
A remote report cannot independently verify details that have not been made available to the inspector. A physical inspection provides a more direct opportunity to check the property.
What the report is — and is not
The report is a property-specific accommodation assessment prepared for the agreed purpose. Unless separately commissioned, it is not a full building survey, structural survey, valuation, legal opinion or immigration assessment.
If the report is intended for a visa application, it provides accommodation information only. It does not guarantee UKVI acceptance or a successful visa outcome. For immigration advice, consult an appropriately qualified adviser or solicitor.
Information needed to arrange the service
- Full property address and postcode
- Property type and number of rooms
- Details of current and proposed occupants where relevant
- The purpose for which the report is being requested
- Access arrangements and preferred appointment times
- Any specific information the report is expected to address
Frequently asked questions
Do you inspect rented properties?
Yes, enquiries are welcome where the client can arrange access and provide the relevant property details.
Can a report be prepared from photographs?
A remote or photo-based service may be available by arrangement. It relies on information supplied by the client and has limitations compared with a physical inspection.
Is this a full building survey?
No. The report covers the accommodation matters agreed for the instruction. A full building or structural survey would need to be commissioned separately.
How long does the report take?
The timescale depends on the service arranged, the property and receipt of the required information. We will discuss the expected turnaround when confirming the booking.
