Portal LoginHouse Tag offers a streamlined solution for managing compliance documentation across your housing portfolio, at point-of-need.
By simplifying compliance certification management, House Tag helps landlords save time, enhance efficiency, and maintain full oversight of essential documentation.
Enjoy the benefits of utilising your direct team and partner resources, to reduce and streamline workflow, whilst providing sight of certificates and documentation for home-users, at point-of-need.
Landlord Compliance
As a landlord there is an extensive list of requirements in relation to managing a property and tenancy. The original concept of House Tag was a solution to enable landlords to evidence compliance of property-specific requirements such as Electrical Safety, Gas Safety and EPC certificates. More detail about these area of compliance are detailed below.
More detail on House Tag can be found on the solutions page but through its implementation landlords benefit from a cloud serviced, document storage application that serves legally required documents immediately (upon approval) to home-users, with a full audit trail to evidence compliance.
“Homes are Static, People are Mobile.”
House Tag is different to traditional “tenant portals”, it is property-specific rather than linked to a tenancy. This means when a home-user moves on the documents stay with the property, eliminating additional administration, whilst remaining available to potential or future tenants.
