We watch the rules
so you don't have to.
One missed certificate. One outdated notice. One lapsed licence. That's all it takes to turn a rental into a £30,000 fine — or worse. Ekko tracks every deadline, serves every document and absorbs every rule change, so your only job as a landlord is to cash the rent.
Every obligation.
Every penalty.
These are the live items we track for every Ekko-managed home. Hover-free, paperwork-free, and never late.
Every gas appliance, flue and pipework must be inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer each year. A copy of the certificate must be served on tenants within 28 days, and given to new tenants before they move in.
We book the engineer 30 days before expiry, serve the certificate digitally to tenants, log acknowledgement, and store the record in your Pulse vault.
Fixed electrical installations must be inspected by a qualified electrician at least every five years. Any C1 or C2 issues must be remedied within 28 days, with written confirmation supplied to the tenant and local authority on request.
We schedule inspections, project-manage remediation works with vetted contractors, and supply confirmation to tenants and councils.
You cannot let a property with an EPC rating below E. From 2028 the minimum is expected to rise to C for new tenancies and 2030 for all tenancies. Government enforcement is moving from fixed £5,000 caps to £30,000.
We benchmark the EPC, model the cheapest route to a C rating, sequence works around tenancies and apply for available grants on your behalf.
A working smoke alarm on every storey, and a CO alarm in every room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers). Defective alarms must be repaired or replaced as soon as reasonably practicable once notified.
Tested, photographed and signed off at every check-in. Tenants confirm receipt — we keep the audit trail.
Deposits must be held in a government-approved scheme (DPS, MyDeposits or TDS) within 30 days of receipt, with the prescribed information served on the tenant and anyone who paid the deposit on their behalf.
Deposits registered with DPS within 48 hours. Prescribed information served, acknowledged and version-controlled.
Landlords must verify that every adult occupier has the right to rent in England. Civil penalties for non-compliance rose sharply in 2024, and repeat breaches can carry criminal sanctions.
Home Office–compliant digital ID checks for every adult occupier, with follow-up reminders for time-limited visas.
The latest version of the How to Rent guide must be served at the start of every tenancy. Selective, Additional and Mandatory HMO licences apply across most East London boroughs — and the rules change frequently.
Latest guide served on day one. We map your portfolio against every borough's licensing scheme and lodge applications.
Landlords have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act to assess and manage the risk of Legionella, particularly in properties left vacant for long periods or with complex water systems.
Risk assessed at let, flushing protocols issued to tenants for vacant periods, and re-assessed on any system change.
Compliance,
in plain English.
