Property Hawks FREE PM2 letting software sits at the heart of Property Hawk's website.
Need to save money on your landlord insurance - get discounted professional landlord rates
We are constantly looking at ways to improve the letting software to make it easier to use or bring in new and helpful functions. Over the next couple of months we want to bring in some upgrades that we think will make the software easier to use.
I've cobbled together a list of ideas that we have had from our users and put down some of our favourites. You see if you agree. Tell us which are the most important and even suggest ones that we haven't even thought of. It's your software so tell us. Post your comments below.
Here is a list of some of our ideas for proposed upgrades:
1. Multiple portfolios. We have gathered that many landlords have more than one portfolio often in partnership with other landlords. Also we see that our FREE software is quite popular with letting agents. So we are looking at allowing landlords to create more than one portfolio assigned to their account. Good idea?
2. Multiple rent payments. Numerous landlords have commented that they want to be able to make more than one rental payment to a single rent, for instance where a tenant receives housing benefit. We think this is essential, do you agree?
3. Editable tenancy agreement. Over the last couple of years we have had a number of landlords who want to customise their tenancy agreement. There are dangers in doing this in that landlords can end up with an unenforceable tenancy agreement, but we recognise the needs of landlords to personalise their tenancy agreement. Useful or unecessary?
4. Editing a tenancy. Do you find it confusing when you edit a tenancy or when you want to renew a fix term tenancy with the same tenant. Let us know about your experiences?
5. Taxation. We think that more info should be shown when it comes to calculating a landlords income tax. Do you want to see a break down of the calcs. Would it be useful to download the info to send to your accountant. Don't be shy - tell us.
6. Email forms. Would it be useful to be able to email forms to your tenants or is this just an unecessary "whistle and bell".

6. No .. The harder it is for the tenant to catch you the better. only makes it easier for them to get you to do what they should do.
I have an agent for serious things. Worth the cost.
