The problem

A property portfolio produces a steady flow of rent, expenses, documents and deadlines. Spread across spreadsheets and inboxes, it becomes hard to see how each property is performing or what needs attention next.

What was built

A single application for overseeing the whole portfolio: what each property earns and costs, the records that belong to it, and reminders that surface before dates are missed. It is written for the people who use it. Recording a rent payment takes an amount and a date, and expense categories are in plain language.

What the system does

  • Portfolio oversight

    Every property in one view, organised the way the portfolio is run.

  • Income tracking

    Rental income recorded against each property.

  • Expenses

    Costs captured alongside income for a true picture per property.

  • Record keeping

    Documents and history kept with the property they belong to.

  • Financial information

    Financial summaries at property and portfolio level.

  • Automated reminders

    Upcoming dates raised automatically.

  • Overdue rent flag

    A property is highlighted when no rent has arrived for over forty days. Vacant properties are left alone.

  • Tax-year view

    Every screen works in one April-to-April tax year at a time, and the tax sheet builds itself from the entries.

  • Portfolio costs

    Costs that belong to the business rather than one property are recorded once and split across the portfolio.

  • Nothing is lost

    Entries can be corrected or removed at any time, and removed entries are kept in a log.

  • Works on a phone

    The same application on a small screen, and it can be added to the home screen.

  • Live feed and automated collections

    Collections now run automatically from a live feed, alongside manual recording.

How it fits together

From property to portfolio

Each property carries its own records, and the portfolio view is built up from them.
