Let AI carry the evidence work.

ProperSorted brings tenant identity checks and quarterly tax readiness into one operational workflow, so the same facts do not need to be rebuilt at each stage.

Why this matters

The problem is not the lack of software. It is the lack of one disciplined sequence.

Deadlines are forcing landlords to tidy process, not just software.

Quarterly reporting expectations expose every weak spot in the record-keeping workflow. The pressure shows up months before filing day.

Identity checks still fail when teams treat every tenant the same.

The Home Office route depends on the evidence available. Process discipline matters more than speed theatre.

The expensive part is duplicating facts across disconnected admin steps.

Most landlord operations already have data. They do not have one calm sequence that carries it forward.

Right to Rent

Identity checks should feel procedural, not improvised.

The point is not to make compliance look futuristic. The point is to make the correct route, the evidence, and the reminder cycle easy to follow every time.

British and Irish passport holders may fit an IDSP route. Many other tenants need a share code check. Some scenarios still rely on prescribed documents. The product should make that choice clear instead of hiding it behind a generic “verify” button.

01

Use the correct checking path

Choose the route that actually fits the tenant: IDSP, share code, or document check.

02

Keep evidence attached to the tenancy context

Proof works properly only when the date, occupier, property, and check route stay together.

03

Trigger follow-up checks before risk accumulates

Time-limited permission should create reminders early enough for operational action.

01

Capture receipts and invoices close to the event

The closer the evidence is to the source, the less reconstruction is needed later.

02

Keep categorisation live through the quarter

A healthy quarter is continuously reviewable rather than rebuilt from bank exports.

03

Treat filing as review, not rescue

By quarter end, most of the administrative work should already be settled.

The ideal quarter is boring.

Filing should feel like a review checkpoint, not a month of reconstruction. The closer the books stay to the live operation, the calmer the deadline becomes.

Key dates

6 April 2026MTD for Income Tax begins for qualifying income above £50,000.
6 April 2027The current phased rollout drops the threshold to £30,000.

Unified workflow

One record should move forward through the whole lifecycle.

This is the actual product argument. Tenant onboarding, reminders, bookkeeping, and filing readiness should not feel like separate systems that happen to live on the same laptop.

ProperSorted is designed to remove repeated data entry. A landlord should not have to prove identity, rebuild the tenancy timeline, and then reassemble the same facts again when a quarterly tax workflow arrives.

Rendering workflow…

The commercial point is simple:

  • One capture event can feed later bookkeeping and filing steps.
  • The landlord sees both identity risk and tax readiness in one place.
  • A visible compliance score makes the outcome legible to non-specialists.

Access

Start with a measured early-access rollout.
