Landlord Level-Up

If you've not been living under a rock this week (or away on holiday like I am!) then you'll know that there is yet more inevitable pain coming for landlords.

So look - you (and they) can moan. Or you (and they) can get professional.

Here are four ideas - none of which are sponsored, they're just things I think great agents will be able to help their (more professional, for sure) landlords with.

1) Make compliance boring - efficient, automated, auditable. Use Goodlord for tenancy workflows. Automate maintenance, safety, and audit trails with Fixflo. Scale licensing oversight across properties with Kamma. Deploy The Depositary for an incredibly effective AI deposit haggling tool - genuinely awesome.

2) Give them an EPC-to-C roadmap they can act on. Plan retrofit and capex strategically using Cotality or Sava Intelligent Energy. Package and present EPC history and performance with Sprift or Bold Group.

3) Make them lender-ready - fast, clear, credible. Standardise property one-pagers showing rent roll, void gaps, arrears, ICR/stress outputs. Use Lendlord to build resilience modelling, and Hammock to generate P&L and tax-ready statements.

4) Be the bridge when landlords sell rather than stay. As costs, taxes, and regulation bite, many will exit. That’s opportunity for you to curate tenant-ready stock with clean compliance and EPC plans—then distribute it to expansion-minded pros via Portolio or the NRLA × Movewise Marketplace.

Productise these capabilities

Service Package	Contents & Tools
Quarterly Pro Landlord Pack	Dashboard access (via Hammock), compliance snapshot (Goodlord + Kamma), lender one-pager (Lendlord + P&L).
EPC-to-C Retrofit Plan	Baseline EPC, measures, cost estimate, scheduling across tenancies. Powered by Cotality / Sava + Sprift.
Tenant-Ready Certification	Audits, safety checks, referencing via Canopy, deposit option via Zero Deposit.

This is not a happy time in the PRS. The age of wide-eyed accidental landlords falling into your lap and generating you (and them) thousands is over.

You're dealing with a more professional class of landlord - so you need to professionalise your offerings much more too. This will win from less pro letting agents - and ensure that the landlords are more willing to listen when you suggest they snap up tenant-ready properties from those exiting the market ...
