Common Questions
What if I’ve already accepted a property?
It’s best to ask before accepting where possible, but a functional review can still help you plan adaptations or highlight concerns to raise with the housing provider.
Do you visit properties in person?
Visits are quoted separately from the consultation itself.
Important to know
The service does not guarantee housing eligibility, allocation or approval. Decisions remain with the housing provider or local authority.
Property visits and travel are quoted separately. A particular property may still need to be visited before its suitability can be understood.
