How to add a property

Your portfolio starts with adding properties. Each property becomes the hub for tenancies, compliance, documents, and finance.

Step 1: Open the add property dialog

From the Dashboard, click Add property or go to Properties and click the add button in the top right.

Step 2: Enter the address

Fill in the property address. Proper Agent uses this to organise compliance, documents, and tenancies for that address.

Step 3: Choose the property type

Select whether the property is a single let or an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation). For HMOs, you can add individual rooms so each room can have its own tenancy.

Step 4: Set letting status

Choose whether the property is currently let, available, or under offer. This helps you see at a glance which properties need attention on your dashboard.

Step 5: Save and review

Once saved, the property appears in your Properties list. Open it to add compliance items, upload documents, or start an application window when you are ready to let.

Tips

• You can edit property details at any time from the property page.
• Add compliance certificates and deposit records as soon as you have them — Proper Agent will track renewal deadlines for you.
• For HMOs, add all rooms before creating tenancies so each tenant is linked to the correct room.
