UK Landlord Forum / Life

Dear experts in the real estate industry. We, a team of 5 Hotelschool students are shortly in need of your expertise.
We are developing a convenient, easy-to-use platform for landlords and tenants to have an insight into an intermediary outsourced property management activity, and for intermediaries to keep good relationships with their customers.
With this platform landlords and tenants can have access to important documents, have insights on water/electricity and gas usage, have a better connection trough communication tool, have personal popups, and much more features that will be created.
Our questions to you: Is there a need for such platform within the real estate industry? Would you be interested in such platform, as tenants or landlord. If so, could you give us a brief explanation. If not, why doesn't it interest you and what would you like or see and change within the platform to become interested?
All feedback is welcome!

Thank you in advance!

God,have you lot swallowed the corporate-speak dictionary ?  What the hell is a connection trough communication tool? Whatever it is,I don't want one.

I don't even know what the hell you just wrote!

Real estate is more a US term for a start, I am more familiar with residential property market. Just saying. In an attempt to answer your question, since I manage my properties myself, my tenants and I share documents as and when required, we communicate as and when required, no more no less. I do not need to know their utility usage for example because that is their business - unless they vacate with outstanding bills of course then I would have to deal with that situation appropriately. So I would not require a platform to do what I already do, thanks.

I think the first thing to understand is your customers.  Most estate agents have their own systems setup. Landlords simply contact their tenants directly to keep them updated with any works going on and there are numerous systems for keeping documents visible to both parties.

I am an inventory clerk and the software I use has areas for documents to be shared.

I'm not sure what it is you are offering but from what I understand I do not believe it is required.
