Housing Report -Spouse Visa

[asingh42]

Hi Guys,

My brother recently got married in India and he needs to apply for his wife's visa. At the current time we live jointly with our parents in 4 Bedroom house. I have read some rules regarding overcrowding and I think we are ok in this regard as a 4 bed house can have up to 7.5 people if all the bedrooms are above 50 sq ft and we will all be together 6.5 people.

Now I was wondering whether my brother will need a housing report done from a surveyor or can we do without?
