Property inspection report needed for spouse visa extension?

[Suni2610]

Hi

We will be applying for my husbands extension soon and after reading through the forum an inspection is not needed if you are living with family. We are currently living with my parents where I am a co-owner, our 2 sons who are 3 and 19months and when we originally applied we did get one done and also my parents wrote a letter and signed it. Will that be sufficient with the deeds or should we get a inspection?
Many thanks

No harm in doing property inspection.

There are mixed opinions if a property report is required when living with family members, or which family members.

For my FLR(M) extension this year we obtained a new property inspection report from the Council for £60, we just didn’t want to risk a refusal for the sake of getting a new report.

We had a report for the initial entry visa 2.5 years ago but felt that was not recent enough to include for the FLR(M).

I live with my husband, his brother/wife/daughter.

Hi
Yeah I think it's best to get a inspection again. Thanks for the replies

Usually property inspection report is needed when someone is sharing the property with none-related adults. But in my opinion even you are living with related adults but if you will be 4/5/6 or so then to prove that there is really not overcrowding there then best would be to attach property inspection report.

According to my lawyer, the inspection report is specifically for situations of overcrowding, where there may be a suspicion that 1 more person living at the property is too many.

So you will need the property inspection only if the number of bedrooms/number of other rooms/number of occupants numbers indicates a potential overcrowding situation.
