Inventory supplier No Letting Go is offering clients open access to its bespoke property reporting software, known as Kaptur.

The allows agents to perform various property reporting functions – for example inventory checks, mid-term inspections and fire door assessments – either in-house or outsourced to the No Letting Go network, depending on staffing and workload.

The chief executive of No Letting Go and Kaptur, Nick Lyons, says: “Our clients can access Kaptur under a straightforward licensing arrangement and use the software for any reports they might need to do. 

“All the data is centrally held and tracked, so you haven’t got data spilling out all over the place – protecting all parties from potential data leaks.”

Last week Lyons highlighted the possibility that the new Labour government would tighten up compliance across the private rental sector.

“Compliance rarely, if ever, goes backwards: legislation the same. Landlords and agents have to protect the people in their properties – keeping tenants in a safe environment.

“With extended tenancies, routine property visits are now more important than ever. Rising rents and the cost of living have meant that tenancies are becoming much longer – there are fewer check-ins and check-outs but there are many more mid-term inspections.

“I suspect that a number of additional legislative reforms will come through to protect tenants and evidence will be more critical than ever.”
