Long-term arrears trends

Every month PayProp’s management reports will give you a snapshot of tenant payment data, letting you see how effective your team is at chasing arrears.

Dashboard arrears alerts

PayProp knows exactly when the rent is due for each of your tenants. If a tenant misses a payment, it is automatically highlighted on your PayProp dashboard so you can take action.

Tenant Assessment Report

PayProp’s Tenant Assessment Report gives agents more information to vet a tenant. Our report includes not only a traditional credit score, but a combined score based on rental payment data from previous tenancies managed by PayProp-powered agencies.

Letters of demand

If tenant arrears are not reduced as a result of PayProp’s friendly payment reminders, agents can send the tenant a letter of demand through the PayProp system. This letter is a formal legal instrument and can be used as a precursor to an eviction notice if the tenant still fails to settle their debt.

Since we implemented PayProp, by the third or fourth (of the month) we have 70-80% of our landlords paid out.

PayProp is by far the best investment we made for our business. It saved a lot of time and even a whole member of staff became freed up to come back into the frontline! The peace of mind it gives when a key accounts person is off is worth every penny. What used to take 4 to 6 hours manually takes 20 minutes.
