PropTech big-hitter Goodlord has launched a suite of partnerships and products to help letting agents prepare for Renters’ Rights Bill changes in 2025. 

The PropTech supplier’s platform upgrade, The Aspen Edition, allows agents to “unlock new revenue streams, and ensure landlords aren’t grappling with additional admin and compliance headaches”.

New features include integrations with other providers like Street.co.uk, product releases around rent reviews, rent protection Insurance, ID verification, plus managing inventories. 

Specifically it includes:

• Street partnership — Allows the transfer of data between the two platforms, avoiding the need for data double entry;

• Rent review tools — Helps agents cope with the Renters’ Rights Bill’s imminent abolition of fixed-term tenancies and the scrapping of Section 21. It also provides a guide to the Section 13 process, which will be the primary way for landlords to change rents once the measure passes;

• Rent Protection Insurance — featuring a new claims dashboard providing providing more transparency over each claim;

• ID verification — An upgraded package that allows agents to perform remote Right to Rent checks in the UK;

• Inventory management –- Collates all tenant responses and communication around inventories in one location.

Goodlord chief executive William Reeve says: “We are investing in and releasing such a wide range of updates, brokering new partnerships, and bolstering our team ahead of the Renters’ Rights Bill passing into law. We want to ensure agents and their landlords are prepared in advance, remain compliant throughout, and aren’t burdened with extra admin either now or in the long term.”
