Prepared by qualified property professionals at Greengates — a Birmingham agency operating since 2004. Tested under the Housing Act 1985 and HHSRS. On letterhead, signed, ready to attach to your visa application.
Operating under the same regulators as a UK letting agency — not a one-person template service.
The Home Office requires evidence that the UK accommodation is not statutorily overcrowded and is fit for habitation. If the case file is light on that front, applications can be refused on grounds the applicant didn't even know existed.
Two formal tests under the Housing Act 1985 — the Room Standard and the Space Standard — plus an HHSRS hazard assessment under the Housing Act 2004.
Children under 1 = 0. Children 1–9 = ½. Anyone 10+ = 1. Bedrooms must be ≥ 50 sq ft. Get the maths wrong and the case looks weak before it's read.
Reports written by anyone other than a qualified property professional are routinely questioned. Tribunals are explicit about what good evidence looks like — that's what we deliver.
Most reports are completed remotely. For complex layouts or HMOs we send a qualified property professional out at a time that suits you.
Pick a package, pay securely, give us the basics on the property and the visa. Takes about 4 minutes.
Fill our structured intake form — occupants, room sizes, garden details, plus any docs you have (gas safety, EPC, EICR). Step-by-step measurement guide included.
Within 5 working days you receive your UKVI-ready report on Greengates letterhead, covering overcrowding, HHSRS, and a clear signed verdict.
Reports are UKVI-ready: clear, professional, on Greengates letterhead, with a signed declaration from the assessor. Suitable for direct attachment to your application or your solicitor's bundle.
Address, build year, type, sponsor name, tenure, full property details — formatted exactly as the Home Office expects.
Every current and proposed occupant counted under the rules — under 1, 1–9, and 10+ — with relationships to the sponsor recorded.
Every room measured (length × width × sq ft), use noted, and a clear flag on which rooms count toward the bedroom calculation.
Both Room Standard and Space Standard tests applied to your numbers, with a clear pass/fail and the workings shown.
Health & Safety Rating System review — damp, heating, electrical, gas, structural — with any Category 1 hazards flagged.
Clear written verdict on suitability, with a signed declaration from the qualified property professional who assessed the case.
