Accommodation certificates are sought by individuals requiring a visa application to enter the UK. One of the requirements for a successful application is that the person will have adequate accommodation which they own or occupy exclusively.
For a property to be considered adequate and a certificate granted it will need to:
- be structurally stable
- be free from serious disrepair
- be free from dampness prejudicial to the health of the occupants
- have adequate provision for lighting, heating and ventilation
- have adequate piped supply of wholesome water
- have satisfactory facilities in the dwelling for the preparation and cooking of food, including a sink with a satisfactory supply of hot and cold water
- have a suitably located water closet for the exclusive use of the occupants
- have a suitably located fixed bath or shower and a wash hand basin each of which is provided with a satisfactory supply of hot and cold water and is for the exclusive use of the occupants
- have an effective system for the draining of foul water and surface water
