How To Make Property Edits

Once your property has been added, it will be presented in a list, with its picture, name and address. You can make more advanced edits, such as adding Expenses, Mortgage Payments and EPC, when you view the property's display page.

  • To navigate, click Manger and select the Property Label you wish to edit.

You will be directed to a page displaying an overview of the property's information.

Adding A Tenancy

After you've created your first property, it's time to account for all your tenancy agreements and here's how to Get Started with creating a tenancy agreement.

Our tenancy checklist helps you to navigate the property management process from scratch.

PaTMa's Property Manager allows you to keep track of any payments and additional details relating to the agreements made with a specific tenant.

Recording An Expense & Mortgage Payments

Many property managers use PaTMa to keep track of their investment properties as a way of amplifying and gearing their returns by analysing expenses and income. PaTMa has the ability to record all mortgages and property values and display instant visual data of the information recorded. However, to make the most of this feature, you have to account for the expenses and any mortgage payments made on the property.

Learn more by completing this step-by-step guide on How to Record Expenses and this guide on recording mortgage payments.

Adding A Task

To keep track of any property management tasks that need to be completed in regards to the property, you can start to note these down using PaTMa's task management tool.

  • On the property display page, locate the Open Tasks section.
  • Click Add Task

Fill in the form with: 1. the Title of the task. 2. the Details of the task. 3. Select any Tenants who can view the task.

  • Once complete, click Save

Adding Safety Certificates

There are a number of documents that must be provided to tenants before they sign a new tenancy agreement and these include safety agreements. Failure to provide these essential documents to tenants can prevent the use of a Section 21 notice to end a tenancy and in severe cases financial penalties for the landlord.

If you have gone through the tenancy checklist, this step will be completed with the gas safety certification and an electrical safety certificate.

However, if you wish to add other certificates or start from scratch, here's a step-by-step guide on How To Add a Safety Certificate.

Add Valuation

With PaTMa, you can store as many valuations as you like against each property. It's easy to make changes or to add to your property's history for an accurate overview of how your investment value is performing.

PaTMa also offers visual representations of this data, showcasing the overall performance of your property and portfolio. This feature is perfect for spotting trends and offering a clear perspective of your future.

  • On the property display page, locate the Value section.
  • Click New Valuation.

Fill in the form with:

  1. the numerical monetary Value of the property.
  2. the Date of Valuation.
  3. name of the person valuing the property under Valuer.

Note: If this is not an accurate estimate of the property's value, click Approximate

  • Once completed, click Save

Add EPC

Amongst the required documents to be provided to tenants before they sign the contract is the EPC.

Note: If you have gone through the tenancy checklist, this step will be completed along with the gas safety certification and an electrical safety certificate.

  • On the property display page, click the navigation tab Certificates/Licenses.
  • Click Add EPC.

Fill in the form with:

  1. the Issue Date.
  2. a copy of the scanned Document.

  3. the Rating set for the EPC.

  4. Once complete, click Save
