How many hours is compliance admin taking?

Four questions about your book, and you will see how many hours a week your team spends getting certificates renewed. Every assumption is yours to change.

Your book

The mix matters more than the total. A student house is an HMO, so its tenancy paperwork resets per room rather than per property, and short lets carry a fire risk assessment that single lets do not.

A year

Across 200 properties that is 600 certificate renewals and 300 tenancy-change jobs a year, about 75 a month. At 4 contacts each, someone is making 300 calls and emails a month purely to get compliance work done, which is 8 working days.

For scale, an average branch manages 221 properties (ARLA Propertymark, average managed properties per branch in England). On the same assumptions that is 15.3 hours a week.

We will email the full breakdown: the job counts behind it, where your renewals stack up, and what the same book looks like with the chasing taken out. Useful whether or not you ever speak to us.

One email with your results. We will not add you to anything.

Where that time goes instead

SUCASA takes the whole job, not just the reminder. Our vetted engineers, electricians and inventory clerks attend, we arrange access and chase them, and the certificate files itself against the property. Your team is only involved if they want to be.

Job counts come from the statutory renewal cycles for each requirement, so they follow the rules rather than an estimate. Everything is worked out in your browser and nothing is sent to us. General guidance, not legal advice.
