The Claims Problem Every Letting Agent Knows
A tenant calls at 8am. Water is pouring through the kitchen ceiling. By 9am your property manager is on the phone to the landlord. By lunchtime they're chasing the insurance company, trying to find a contractor, and fielding panicked texts from the tenant asking when someone is coming.
Meanwhile, the rest of the portfolio sits untouched. Viewings get rescheduled. Compliance tasks slip. The property manager is doing a job they were never hired to do — and nobody is paying them for it.
This is the reality of property damage claims in managed lettings. Escape of water, burst pipes, storm damage, fire — these events don't just damage buildings. They consume your team's capacity for weeks, sometimes months, and they generate zero revenue for your agency.
With the Renters' Rights Act 2025 now in force and the Decent Homes Standard coming for private rentals, the pressure on letting agents to demonstrate responsive, professional property care has never been higher. Tenants have more power, longer security, and less patience for slow resolutions.
What Your Agency Gains
Time Back for Your Team
Property managers spend an average of 6–10 hours per claim on admin that generates no fee income. We eliminate that entirely.
A New Revenue Stream
Every referred claim that settles generates a referral commission for your agency. Revenue from work you were previously doing for free.
Better Tenant Retention
Professional, responsive claims handling builds tenant trust. Under the Renters' Rights Act, keeping good tenants matters more than ever.
Landlord Confidence
Landlords want to know their property is being looked after. A dedicated claims partner reassures them that damage will be handled swiftly and properly.
Zero Cost, Zero Risk
There is no fee, no subscription, and no contract lock-in. We provide free onboarding and portal access. If a claim doesn't meet our criteria, you're no worse off.
Compliance Support
With the Decent Homes Standard approaching and stricter obligations on property condition, demonstrating a proactive claims management process strengthens your compliance position.
The Renters' Rights Act and Why It Matters for Claims
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 changes the game for letting agents in several critical ways. Section 21 "no-fault" evictions are abolished. All private tenancies convert to rolling periodic agreements. Tenants can leave with two months' notice. Rent increases are limited to once per year. The Decent Homes Standard will be extended to the private rented sector.
What does this mean for claims? Tenants are staying longer, expecting more, and have clearer routes to escalate when things go wrong. A burst pipe that leaves a tenant in a damaged property for weeks gives them grounds to complain through formal channels that can damage your agency's reputation.
Having a professional claims management partner in place demonstrates duty of care, speeds up property restoration, and protects your agency against complaint escalations. Under the new regulatory framework, it's becoming essential infrastructure for any serious lettings operation.

Every partner agency receives access to the Home Claims Assist client portal. From there, you can log new claims, track the status of existing claims in real time, and view your referral commission balance. We also send weekly status updates directly to you and your client.
