For landlords · Compliance-first · Per property
The EICR never quietly lapses again
Your world is a cycle, not a journey: certificates expire, tenancies renew, and every legal duty on a let property runs on its own clock. Mark a house as one you let and the app tracks every date across all of them, keeps the evidence in a private vault, and links the official guidance for each duty rather than paraphrasing it. Built for self-managing landlords with a spreadsheet that almost works.

Everything on the list is in date
Next to expire: EICR, in 74 days
| Duty we track | Cycle | Official guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Gas Safety (CP12) | Every 12 months | HSE: gas safety for landlords |
| Electrical safety (EICR) | Every 5 years | GOV.UK: electrical safety standards |
| Energy certificate (EPC) | Every 10 years | GOV.UK: minimum energy efficiency standard |
| Deposit protection | Each tenancy, within 30 days | GOV.UK: deposit protection for landlords |
| Smoke & CO alarms | Checked each tenancy | GOV.UK: alarm regulations guidance |
| Right to rent checks (England) | Before each tenancy | GOV.UK: check a tenant's right to rent |
| Legionella risk assessment | Reviewed ~2 years | HSE: legionella and landlords |
| Property licensing | Council schemes vary | GOV.UK: house in multiple occupation licence |
Each property shows its own status grid: in date, due within 60 days, overdue or missing. Certificates live in the vault next to the record. Expiry dates export to your calendar. What each duty requires, and what happens if it slips, is for the official guidance above: we link it, we do not paraphrase it. Requirements differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the app shows your nation's own list rather than a merged one. This is what HouseChapter tracks, not the whole of the law.
More than a compliance spreadsheet
Private document vault
Every certificate stored, tamper-evident, next to its expiry date. One place when the lender or council asks.
Quotes for trades
Gas engineers, electricians, cleaners compared side by side, with the accepted quote logged against the property.
Maintenance history
Every job recorded with cost and provider. A documented property is easier to remortgage and sell.
Landlord pricing
Landlords ask us
Does it support multiple properties?
Yes, and per-property is the whole design. Add each rental and every one gets its own compliance grid with its own expiry dates, its own certificates in the vault and its own maintenance history. One calendar shows what expires next across all of them.
Is this a landlord product or a moving product?
One product. Letting is a purpose a house carries, not a separate app, and your world is cyclical rather than a one-way journey: certificates expire, tenancies renew, and each duty comes round again for every property. The screens are built around that cycle. If you buy or sell a home of your own, the moving tools sit alongside under the same sign-in.
What about the Renters' Rights Act?
The tracker covers the duties HouseChapter lists for your nation, and it says plainly that its list is not the whole of the law. Renters' Rights Act readiness (the private rented sector database, the periodic tenancy changes) is on the roadmap so your compliance list updates as the rules roll out. For what the Act requires of you, we link the official guidance for your nation rather than paraphrase it.
What does it cost?
HouseChapter Move is £39, paid once, and it covers the whole move and the first six months after you complete. Letting is a purpose a property carries inside that one product rather than a separate plan, so there is nothing extra to buy. Whether a portfolio of let properties is eventually priced differently is an open decision, and it will be stated here plainly when it is made. Either way it is a business expense.
