PlanetRent: FREE lettings platform
We have been inviting our clients to use our PlanetRent app for free for a while now, but in Spring 2020 we will launch PlanetRent.co.uk to the market. PlanetRent is our revolutionary mobile portal that automates property lettings, marketing, advertising, repairs AND compliance. PlanetRent has already secured runners up places in the EG PropTech awards, reached the final in the Global PropTech awards and won a RESI award too.
Whether you use a letting agent or self-manage, PlanetRent brings a new level of transparency to lettings and delivers a corporate institutional welcome journey to tenants as well as automated reporting, so you can see and be part of your agent’s transactions. You can connect tenants directly with your favourite contractors, offer deposit-free renting - and we've automated most things in between. We will be running webinars to share lettings reimagined in 2020 - if you would like to be included please email leana@ringley.co.uk and she will be sure to invite you.
Our Residents App is coming in 2020 tooWe are also in the process of completing a residents’ app. This will enable:
- repairs tracking
- rating of repairs
- messaging site staff
- and bookings.... (community halls and other community spaces)
There will also be a module for sites with communal heating so we can better coordinate visits for heat interface unit servicing. And, to help build and promote community, we will be introducing 'neighbour to neighbour services' too. Look out for updates over the next few months.
Planetrent Properties
Under Offer: This term applies to a property where the landlord is considering an offer but remains on the market. It implies that further offers may still be considered until the landlord formally accepts or declines the current offer.
Let Agreed: This term indicates that a landlord has provisionally agreed to enter into a rental agreement with a prospective tenant, pending additional checks and referencing. It doesn't require the prospective tenant to have paid a holding deposit.
Let: This term signifies an established binding rental agreement between the landlord and tenant.
For both lettings and sales, the guidance addresses additional terms:
New On The Market: This term is used for a property not advertised since its last sale or rental. It should only be used for a brief period.
New Instruction: It applies to a property assigned to an agent for marketing recently, even if it was previously listed with another agent without being sold or rented.
New and Exclusive: This term refers to a property that is either new on the market or a new instruction, exclusively available through a specific agent or portal.
New Method of Sale/Let: This term is used when a property is being marketed for sale or rent using an alternative approach to the original advertisement, such as transitioning to an auction or sealed bid.
Reduced: This term indicates that a property's price has recently been reduced. The reduction should be genuine and comply with the Chartered Trading Standards Institute's guidelines on pricing practices.
