Property management

Show landlords, tenants, and insurers the full picture, without giving them a login.

Property compliance inspection software for block managers and lettings agents: gas safety, EICR, fire doors and Legionella, every renewal cycle. Hovermarks gives each landlord a branded portal showing their building's current compliance state, refreshed whenever they load it, with every record tied to the appliance, door or outlet it belongs to.

The challenges we hear most often

  • Compliance evidence scattered across drives and email
  • Annual safety reports that expire silently
  • Tenant and landlord queries that consume the back office
  • A freeholder or buyer asking for the evidence pack at short notice

Use case

How a managing agent would use it

A managing agent onboarding a residential portfolio can prove statutory compliance to the freeholder during handover. Each block gets a branded portal; insurers receive shareable links instead of zipped folders, and back-office time is freed up from chasing reports. When a certificate is about to lapse, the reminder goes to the person who books the engineer, and when the engineer's report arrives it is filed against the appliance or door it covers, so the portal is current the next time a landlord opens it.

Frequently asked questions

What does property compliance software do?
It gives each building a compliance dashboard fed by the checks done on its appliances, doors, lifts and outlets. Renewal reminders fire on the cycle each regulation sets, and the landlord's portal shows the current state from a shareable link, without a login.
Can landlords and insurers see the evidence without an account?
Yes. Each block gets a branded portal on a shareable link. Landlords, insurers and prospective buyers open it without a Hovermarks account and see the current compliance state and the reports behind it.
How much does it cost?
From £15 per user per month on Starter and £39 on Professional, with a 30-day free trial and no card required. Portal viewers are not users and do not take a seat.
