Property software built around the repair clock

What this is

Reporting a problem now starts a timer

Property software used to be a filing cabinet with photos. For social landlords in England that changed on 27 October 2025, when fixed timescales replaced best efforts. The data model has to hold a clock.

Evidence beats recollection

A photo with a date on it ends an argument that a written note starts.

The case runs across visits

A damp report is a case that runs across several visits and trades. Modelling it as an inspection loses the thread.

Services

What we build for property teams

Property condition reports

Inventories, check-in and check-out, with photo evidence a deposit scheme will accept.

Repair cases with timers

A report that opens a case, starts the clock and escalates on its own.

Portfolio inspection rounds

Planned visits across many properties, with evidence captured per property.

Inspector and contractor apps

Offline first, because the void property has no broadband and often no signal.

Compliance and performance reporting

What is open, what is late, and what the regulator would see.

Integration with your housing system

The case has to live where the rest of the tenancy already lives.

Obligations

The timescales that now apply

Phase one applies to social landlords in England. The scope widens in 2026 and again in 2027.

In force 27 October 2025Fixed timescales replaced best efforts for emergency hazards and for significant damp and mould in social housing in England.
Emergency hazardsTo be investigated and made safe as soon as possible, and within 24 hours at the latest.
Damp and mouldInvestigated within 10 working days, with a written summary of findings issued within 3 working days of the investigation.
Widening scopePublished guidance describes the duty extending to more health hazards in 2026 and to the remaining hazards under the housing health and safety rating system in 2027.

FAQs

What buyers ask first

Can you integrate with our housing management system?

Usually yes, and it is normally the deciding factor. A repair case that does not reach the tenancy record creates a second version of the truth.

Can the system handle the new timescales?

That is the case for building in this sector right now. A clock that escalates on its own is different from a field holding a date.

What about properties with no signal?

The app writes to the device first and queues. Void properties and basements are exactly where inspections happen.

Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?

You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
