What it does

Everything a rental business does, on one ledger.

Most landlords run the rent in a notebook or a spreadsheet and the accounts somewhere else, then spend the end of every month making the two agree. This is one system, so they never disagree in the first place.

Rent roll

Bills itself, once a month

Properties, units and tenancies in one place. Run the roll and every active lease is invoiced - pro-rated for a mid-month move-in, with the annual rent review applied on time, service charges and metered water on the same bill.

Getting paid

A link, not a phone call

Every rent invoice carries a payment link, so a tenant settles from their phone and the receipt posts itself. Overdue rent is chased automatically, and a late-payment charge can be applied on your terms.

Deposits

Held, not spent

A deposit is the tenant's money until the tenancy ends. It is held on trust, applied to arrears or damages only when it must be, and refunded with the whole history on record.

Repairs

Somebody has to pay for it

Log a job, record what it cost, and say who bears it: you, the landlord - recovered from their rent - or the tenant who caused it. The cost lands in the right place either way.

Utilities

Sub-meters, priced

Record a water or power reading and the consumption since the last one is priced at your tariff and added to that tenant's next rent bill. No second document to reconcile.

Tenant portal

They can see it themselves

Give a tenant a private link and they can see what they owe, pay it, check their deposit, and report a repair - without ringing the office.

For letting and managing agents

Their money is not your money.

The thing generic accounting software gets wrong about agency: rent you collect for a landlord is never your income. Only your fee is.

Held to their account

Every owner, always reconciled

Rent on a managed property is held to the landlord it belongs to from the moment it is billed, so your turnover is your fee - not the whole rent roll passing through.

Owner statements

A statement they can read

What was collected for them, what your fee came to, what repairs were recovered, and the balance paid over - issued for a period, and paid out in one step.

Client money

Prove it at any moment

Nominate the account that holds money belonging to other people, and every payout and deposit must move through it. The screen shows what you should be holding against what you are.

Landlord portal

They stop ringing you

Owners get a private link to their own properties, occupancy and statements - so the monthly "how are we doing" call becomes something they can answer themselves.

How it works

Set it up once, then it is a monthly click.

Nothing here asks you to be an accountant. You describe the property and the tenancy in the words you already use; the ledger entries happen behind it.

1

Add the property and its units

A block, an arcade, a plot. Each one becomes a reporting line, so you can see what each building earns and costs.

2

Record the tenancy

Rent, cycle, deposit, the annual review, the service charge - and whether it is residential or commercial, so the tax is right.

3

Run the roll

Once a month. Everything due is billed and sent; you approve it as you would any invoice.

4

Get paid, pay out

Tenants pay from the link. Owners are paid on a statement. Arrears chase themselves.

Selling, not just letting

Plots and units, sold on instalments.

If you also sell - plots, or units off-plan - the money a buyer pays before they get the keys is not a sale yet. It is held until handover, when the price is recognised and the real cost of what you built is released against it.

Payment plans

Plans that add up

A deposit and then instalments, at whatever interval you agree. The plan always totals the price exactly, and the schedule shows who is behind.

Handover

Recognised when it is real

At handover the sale is invoiced, what the buyer has already paid is applied to it, and the balance becomes an ordinary debt that chases itself.

Development cost

Know the actual margin

Record what the build costs as you go - land, structure, professionals. It is held on the balance sheet and released as each unit sells, so the profit is a fact rather than a guess.

Pricing

It comes with your books.
