How can we help?

Quick answers about setting up and running your agency on PropShield.

Getting started

How do I set up my agency?+

Sign in and follow the setup steps: add your agency details, then invite your staff. You can add branches later from Branches.

How do I invite staff?+

Go to Team, enter their email and choose a role. They join automatically when they sign up or sign in with that email.

Can I bring data from my old system?+

Yes. Open Import, upload a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel), match the columns and review. Each row is checked and duplicates are refused.

Properties & tenancies

How are properties organised?+

Each property can hold units and rooms, so houses, HMOs, blocks and commercial units all fit one structure.

How do landlords and tenants get access?+

Invite them from their record. They see only their own properties, tenancies, documents and repairs.

Repairs

How do tenants report a repair?+

From their portal. The report appears in Repairs for your team to triage and assign a contractor.

Can a quote be changed after it's sent?+

No. Submitted quotes are locked. Contractors send a revised quote instead, so you always see the history.

Compliance

How does PropShield work out what's due?+

From each certificate's expiry date and your reminder period. Items show as compliant, due soon, overdue or missing.

Can AI read certificates?+

AI can suggest dates and details from an uploaded certificate. A member of staff always checks and saves them.

Rent & accounts

How are arrears tracked?+

Rent charges and payments are kept separate. Arrears cases open and close automatically each day using your grace period and minimum balance.

Can mistakes in the accounts be deleted?+

No. Posted entries can't be deleted — you post a correction instead, so there's a full trail.

Why does a payout need a second person?+

Landlord payouts and bank-detail changes need approval from someone other than the person who requested them.
