Goodlord has launched a raft of products and partnerships designed to prepare agents and landlords for the Renters’ Rights Bill.
According to the Goodlord & Vouch ‘State of the Lettings Industry’ report, almost half of landlords (47%) sold properties over the last year or are planning to do so over the next year.
56% of landlords said that incoming legislation, including the Renters’ Rights Bill, would be the reason they leave the market in the next 12 months.
To help agents support their customers, unlock new revenue streams, and help with admin and compliance headaches, Goodlord unveiled its latest platform upgrade, ‘The Aspen Edition’.
The upgrades were announced in a webinar led by Goodlord CEO William Reeve today (5th November).
They include integrations with providers, including Street.co.uk, and product releases around rent reviews, rent protection insurance, ID verification, and inventory management.
Goodlord also boosted the size of its compliance and engineering teams to ensure products stay ahead of legislative changes.
William Reeve, CEO of Goodlord, said: “In a market that’s constantly moving, against a backdrop of regulations that are forever changing, services for landlords and agents can’t rest on their laurels.
“That’s why we’re 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.
“At Goodlord, our role is to guide the industry through this intense period of change and ensure it comes out the other side unscathed.”
