Policy in Practice

Policy in practice is a great tool for the customer and landlord to use. It gives the customer help and suggestions with benefits that they may not realise that they could apply for. It gives the landlord a very comprehensive breakdown of their affordability and gives a percentage score for their affordability. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025
