Evidence lives in certificates, inboxes and portals.
Auditable AI operations for England's private-rented sector.
From scattered documents and deadlines to source-linked, human-approved actions—with the evidence trail behind every decision.
The problem
Property operations break between evidence and action.
Rules change by date, jurisdiction and tenancy context.
Work crosses landlord, tenant, contractor and adviser.
When challenged, the timeline matters as much as the task.
Why now
A regulatory reset is raising the value of operational evidence.
1 May 2026
Section 21 ended for England's private rented sector; possession workflows now centre on the applicable Section 8 ground and evidence.

Product status
Built, validating, commercialising—clearly separated.
Available in private beta
Portfolio records, compliance evidence, document review, issue timelines and human-approved workflow surfaces.
Under production validation
Recurring automation, payment reliability, rule-version governance, audit completeness and production security.
Commercial coming soon

Why it can endure
The compounding asset is a governed decision system—not a chatbot.
Some governance and evaluation capabilities are on the roadmap and must be proven in production.
Market
A concentrated operating segment inside 4.7 million renting households.

Share of landlords with five or more properties who viewed landlording as a full- or part-time business in the 2024 survey.
Official source ↗The initial market model will be rebuilt from paid-cohort conversion, retained portfolio counts and observed revenue per account—not a top-down percentage presented as demand.
Business model
Recurring portfolio software, with guided onboarding at the wedge.
Control · target £49/month
10 active units included, then £4 per additional unit.
Team · target £99/month
30 active units included, then £3 per additional unit.
Scale · target from £249/month
75 active units, annual agreement; only after enterprise capabilities are delivered.
The first proposed paid cohort is £149 onboarding plus £49/month for up to 15 units and a 90-day commitment. At a £75–£90 blended monthly revenue per account, 100 portfolios would represent £90k–£108k ARR. These are pricing scenarios—not forecasts or current revenue.
Go to market

Before a wider financing process: verify the legal entity, IP ownership, cap table and SEIS eligibility; resolve billing, tenant-access, payment-webhook, automation and observability gaps; then share detailed financing materials privately with appropriate legal review.
