3. HO's interest is in the sponsor's bank statement not that of the applicant except where

Also remember that your sponsor must have arranged sufficient sized accomodation either with private landlord or with parents/friend/relative. Also you will need to attach proof of subsisting relations evidences such as whatsapp chat/call logs, travel tickets, exit/entry stamps, wedding pictures, money/gift sending receipts etc. Nikkah nama should be translated into English and usually if its issued from union council then it should have both version which will be sufficient.

It is not OK. This is one of the areas where HO needs to work on. The information provided is not adequate not to talk of exhaustive. If applicants go by whats they provide application will fail.

my question is regarding accommodation please.

1. do i have to get some special inspection report from some agency to prove that the house is not overcrowded
2. or simply a letter from our estate agent would be enough.

please advise what is the best option to follow in order to prove availability of suitable accommodation
thank you

Housing inspection report is usually needed when you are living with none-related adults. It can be prepared by any reasonably established surveyor.

we rented this house since july 2015.
it’s my brother (at the moment in Pakistan who is going to apply for his spouse visa) my wife ,our 2 daughters age 4 , 7 and 2 months old son living in this house.
do i still have to get inspection report if not would a letter from our estate agent be enough.
i would be very thank full if you suggest the best safest option in this scenario as refusal would cost us too much
thanks
