    Tenant referencing

    Credit, income, employer, previous landlord, Right to Rent, AML. Credit checks via TransUnion & CreditSafe. Results in 24–72 hours.

    Landlord PAYG account

    Use the same referencing engine as agents, pay by card per reference and see itemised billing by property and tenant. Agent-only controls stay out of sight.

    Agreements & e-signing

    Unlimited agreements built for the Renters' Rights Act — APT, Lodgers, NHA (company let), Holiday Let, Welsh Occupation. Signed in-app with full audit trail.

    Statutory notices

    Current prescribed Form 4A (05.26) and Form 3A (05.26) are filled and validated before service. Welsh RHW2 and RHW12 notices are supported too.

    Deposit registration

    Direct to your own TDS or MyDeposits landlord account in seconds. No duplicate data entry, no forms.

    Compliance, handled

    How to Rent guide and RRA information served on every tenancy. Gas, EPC and electrical records stay visible per property with clear expiry tracking.

    Automated tenancy setup

    Clause management, initial monies collection, compliance-pack delivery, utility switching — the whole tenancy setup in clicks, not days.

    Tenant communication

    Email individual tenants or every tenant in one shot. Serve compliance documents, send updates, chase rent — communication made effortless.

    HMO group management

    Group by HMO, email every tenant in the house in one shot, serve compliance docs to all rooms — and still manage each tenancy individually.

    End-of-tenancy automation

    Cleaning reminders, property care guides, move-out checklists, damage reporting, deposit returns. Tenants leave properties better.

    The Renters' Rights Act moment

    Can't serve a Section 8 for three months now.

    The Renters' Rights Act changed the rules — three months of arrears before you can even begin. Serve notices direct from PropertyGoose, included in your account, and cover the gap with rent & legal protection.

    FAQs

    Landlord questions.

    Is PropertyGoose compliant with the Renters' Rights Act?+
    PropertyGoose uses the current prescribed Form 4A (05.26) and Form 3A (05.26). It inserts the statutory grounds wording in full and validates the notice dates before service, including the two-month Form 4A minimum, four-month Grounds 1 and 1A periods, 52-week increase rule and rent-period alignment.
    Can I use referencing without a subscription?+
    Yes. Landlords can use the full referencing engine on pure pay as you go, pay by card per reference and view itemised billing by property and tenant. The account hides agent-only tools automatically.
    I don't have time to be my own managing agent.+
    That's exactly what the platform automates. Agreements generate themselves. Compliance packs are sent automatically. Deposits register in one click. Notices are a few taps. Most landlords spend under 20 minutes per tenancy per year.
    What if a tenant disputes a deposit deduction?+
    You registered directly with TDS or MyDeposits, so the dispute process is exactly the same as with an agent. We store your full evidence pack — inventories, inspection photos, correspondence — ready to submit.
    Can I still use an agent to find tenants?+
    Yes, and plenty of landlords do. Use an agent or Rightmove direct for marketing, then onboard the tenant through PropertyGoose for referencing, agreements, deposits and ongoing management. You keep the ~9% of rent that would have gone on management.
    What if I have 50 properties?+
    The Pro plan at £24.99/month covers unlimited properties, agreements and notices. Referencing is pay-as-you-go at £12.50 each on Pro — the cheapest rate available. Volume landlords save the most.
    How fast is referencing?+
    24–72 hours. Credit check (TransUnion & CreditSafe), income verification, employer reference, previous landlord reference, Right to Rent, AML and PEP screening — all in one report.
    Is my data secure?+
    Primarily hosted in the UK. Where sub-processors process data outside the UK, transfers are protected by UK GDPR safeguards (IDTA/SCCs/adequacy). Encrypted at rest, GDPR-registered. We never sell data and we never train third-party AI models on your tenancies.
