Why It Passes Inspection

Formatted The Way
Councils Expect It.

Most landlords produce a single-page Word document that fails on arrival. This template mirrors the structure that local authority housing officers and Environment Agency inspectors are trained to review.

Every field, every table, every signature block — positioned where they look for it. You edit your details in. You hand it over. That's it.
