Porchlights › Certificate and compliance reminders

Gas safety, EICR, EPC and licence reminders for landlords

Letting a property means keeping track of certificates and deadlines that each run on their own cycle. Porchlights puts them all on one calendar and reminds you well before anything expires.

Every deadline on one calendar

Record the date of each check and upload the certificate. Porchlights works out when it is next due and shows it alongside rent and inspections, for England, Wales and Scotland.

• Gas safety certificates
• Electrical installation condition reports (EICR)
• Energy performance certificates (EPC)
• Deposit protection and prescribed information
• HMO licences, Rent Smart Wales and Scottish landlord registration
• Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm checks

Reminders before anything expires

You are reminded by email, and by text if you choose, well before each deadline, so there is time to book an engineer rather than scrambling at the last minute.

Proof that tenants received their certificates

Send certificates to tenants straight from Porchlights. Each one is recorded with when, how and to whom it was sent, and whether it was delivered, giving you evidence of service if it is ever questioned.
