Property Inspection Reports

I think you are correct. Upon close inspection I think this guy is trying to capitalise on unsuspecting applicants.

AKA a scam.

No it's not a scam.
There are situations, such as those I outlined, where a formal report would be a big help. Especially when the sponsor is a lodger, renting a room in a multiple occupancy residence, a static caravan or a boat etc.

But this is by no means needed by the vast majority of sponsors, and is certainly not incorporated into law.
