HAD is the UKs leading providers in housing inspections for UKVI, we are currently working with over 100 solicitors, a number of local authorities and private housing associations (references are available at request) We have a 100% pass-rate for the property survey reports. If you are coming to live in the United Kingdom from abroad and apply for entry clearance to the British High Commission, you are asked to carry out a property inspection and obtain a report covering all requirements from the housing and overcrowding act. If satisfactory documentation will be provided that satisfies the High Commission's requirements.
At the time of inspection you will be asked to show the surveyor around the whole property, outlining who occupies the house and which rooms they sleep in. When the inspection is completed you will be supplied with a letter which will state:
• Your name and the name(s) of the person(s) seeking entry to the UK;
• The address of the property inspected;
•Who owns and who occupies the property;
• How the property is occupied and by whom;
Once the inspection has been carried out, the next working day you will be sent an email copy for confirmation, once confirmation is received the certificate/report will be posted out first class unless special delivery is requested. The whole process normally takes three working day. A PDF copy can be requested at no further charge.
