Lettings software shaped around your branch.

Your team juggles landlords, applicants, contractors and a rulebook that changed on 1 May 2026. We build letting agents one system for the whole lettings journey, from the advert to move-out, with compliance and landlord updates built in rather than bolted on.

Built around the Renters' Rights Act Landlord and tenant portals included Every managed home's paperwork on one board
Illustration with sample data. Your own records, brand and web address in the real thing.

Good agents carry a lot of plates.

The agents we speak to know their landlords, their tenants and their patch. What slows them down is the number of places the work lives, and how much of it has to be chased by hand.

Ten tabs open at once

Applicants everywhere

Enquiries from the portals, your website, phone calls and walk-ins, each needing a reply, a viewing and a record of what was said.

The landlord's third email

Landlords chasing updates

Owners want to know about rent, repairs and certificates, and every answer means searching the system, the inbox and the shared drive.

Hundreds of dates

Compliance at scale

Gas, electrical, energy, alarms, deposits and licences for every managed home, with the agency's name on the line if one slips.

New rules from 1 May

A new way to let

Advertised rents, no bidding, one month's rent in advance, periodic tenancies and new notices. Processes and templates all needed rethinking.

Every managed home, one board.

Certificates, licences and deposits for every home you manage, worked out against today's date and shared with the landlords who own them.

Landlords kept in the loop

Owners get reminders and can upload their own certificates, so your team stops chasing by email.

Contractors upload directly

Engineers send certificates through a simple link, filed against the right home with no retyping.

Proof for every move-in

Certificates sent to tenants and deposit protection recorded for each let, with the dates kept.

Ready for the register

Gas, electrical and energy evidence held and dated for every home, ready as registration opens region by region.

The rules you are letting under now.

The Renters' Rights Act changed how homes are advertised, agreed and ended in England, and agents carry much of the paperwork. Here is what matters for a lettings team, and where software takes the strain.

In force since 1 May 2026In force

Renters' Rights Act: the new tenancy system

Most private tenancies in England became assured periodic tenancies with no fixed end date, new and existing alike. Section 21 no-fault evictions ended, possession now uses section 8 grounds and Form 3A, and new tenants must get the key terms in writing.

England
Tenancy dates, the written terms and every notice served are recorded against each home and tenant.

In force since 1 May 2026In force

One advertised rent, no bidding

Every written advert must show a single rent, and landlords and agents cannot invite or accept offers above it. No rent can be taken before signing, and usually no more than one month's rent between signing and moving in.

England
Listings carry one advertised rent, offers above it are set aside, and payments before move-in are checked against the cap.

No blanket bans on children or benefits

Landlords and agents cannot refuse, discourage or block viewings for people because they have children or receive benefits, with fines of up to £7,000. Affordability checks and referencing are still allowed. Wales and Scotland have their own versions of the ban.

EnglandWalesScotland
Listings and applicant screening are built around fair, recorded criteria rather than blanket rules.

Rent increases once a year, on Form 4A

Rent can rise only once a year, and not in the first year, using Form 4A with at least two months' notice. Tenants can ask the First-tier Tribunal to decide, and rent review clauses no longer work.

England
Each tenancy's last increase and the earliest date for the next Form 4A are worked out for you.

Tenant Fees Act caps

Holding deposits are capped at one week's rent, and tenancy deposits at five weeks' rent where the annual rent is under £50,000 (six weeks at £50,000 or more). Most other fees to tenants are banned.

England
Deposit and holding deposit caps are worked out from the advertised rent, so nobody does the sums by hand.

Redress and client money protection for agents

Anyone doing lettings or property management work for landlords in England must belong to a government-approved redress scheme, and agents who hold clients' money must be in a client money protection scheme. Estate agents dealing in homes must belong to a redress scheme too.

England
Complaints, client money and each landlord's instructions are recorded, ready for a scheme or an audit.

£10,000 threshold since 30 Jun 2026In force

Anti-money laundering checks for agents

Estate agency businesses, including property finders, must register with HMRC for money laundering supervision before trading and check buyers and sellers. Letting agents are covered for homes let at £10,000 a month or more, a threshold that changed from euros to pounds on 30 June 2026.

UK-wide
ID and source of funds checks are recorded against each sale or let, with the evidence kept.

Planned from 15 Dec 2026Coming

Private Rented Sector Database

Landlords will register themselves and every let home, with gas, electrical and energy certificate evidence. Regions are planned to open in turn, from the West Midlands on 15 December 2026, with London from 15 July to 14 October 2027. The regulations still need Parliament's approval, and the government's planned fee is £65 per property per year. The landlord starts each registration, and an appointed letting agent can supply the property details.

England
Certificates are held and dated for every home, so registering each one is quick and nothing is missing.

Duty in force, new guidance dueIn force

Material information in listings

Adverts must not leave out information buyers or tenants need to decide, such as price, tenure, council tax and known risks. The old Trading Standards guidance was withdrawn in 2025 after the DMCC Act took over, and the government has promised new guidance for sales listings.

UK-wide
Every listing carries the same checklist of details, so gaps show before it goes live.

Agree and reference

Offers recorded at the advertised rent, holding deposit within the cap, referencing and Right to Rent tracked.

Move in

Written terms, certificates and deposit details sent and logged before the keys change hands.

Manage

Rent, repairs, inspections and certificate renewals handled on schedule, with the landlord kept informed.

Review and end

Rent reviews by formal notice once a year, and notices and move-outs recorded properly.

Questions letting agents ask us.

Anything else, ask us on the call.

Can it work alongside our existing CRM?
Yes. Many agents keep their main CRM and add what it does not do well, such as a landlord portal, a compliance board or a better website. We connect to your CRM through its official data feed or API where it offers one. If you would rather replace it, we bring your records across.
Can landlords see their own statements and certificates?
Yes. Each landlord gets a login showing their homes, rent, statements, certificates and repairs, so fewer calls and emails land on your team, and landlords can upload certificates themselves.
How does it handle the ban on rental bidding?
Every listing carries its advertised rent and offers are recorded against it. Offers above the advertised rent are set aside rather than accepted, and the record shows what was advertised and what was agreed, which is what you need if a let is ever questioned.
Will it work out holding deposits and deposit caps?
Yes. The holding deposit is capped at one week's rent and the tenancy deposit at five weeks' rent where the annual rent is under £50,000, and the system works both out from the advertised rent, so nobody does the sums by hand.
Can our team do inventories and inspections on their phones?
Yes. Inventories, check-ins, check-outs and mid-tenancy inspections can be done room by room on a phone, with photos, notes and signatures, and the report is filed against the property and shared with the landlord.
Do you hold client money or rent?
No. Rent and deposits go through your own client account and the deposit protection schemes, as they do today. The software records what has been received and paid out, but money never passes through us.
Can it help our landlords get ready for the PRS Database?
Yes. Each managed home's gas, electrical and energy evidence is held and dated, so the details landlords need to register are in one place. As registration opens in each region, we add the steps to the system as part of looking after it.
We have more than one branch. Does that work?
Yes. Applicants, homes and staff can be split by branch, with a group view for directors. If you run several branches or brands, our page for agency groups goes into more detail.
