A new online property maintenance platform aims to help landlords stay on top of repairs, raise standards and attract and retain good tenants.

Fiixit is targeted at self-managing landlords, especially those with HMOs, who want to streamline operations and communication and improve efficiency. Tenants create a Fiixit ticket on the platform which then reports a repair or maintenance issue to the landlord, who can choose whether to handle the repair personally or assign the job to a trusted tradesperson.

After a date and time for the job is agreed, everyone is notified, and calendars are updated, with every action recorded in the landlord, tenants’ and tradespersons’ activity feed and dashboard. This provides landlords with a comprehensive overview of all their property repairs activity so they can track the status and progress of every job.

Founder Tajinder Sohal (main image, right), who needed a solution to manage volumes of property repair requests, maintenance and compliance, explains that the organisation required and time spent going back and forth between tenants and tradespeople to fix issues can add up, especially with multiple properties.

Stark comparison

“Using the Fiixit platform provides a stark comparison to how I used to do it, managing multiple WhatsApp threads, compiling lists and hunting through mails to then transfer the same information to different people,” explains Sohal.

“Through Fiixit, we envision a future where property maintenance becomes a seamless and collaborative experience, enabling landlords, tradespeople and tenants to navigate their responsibilities with clarity and control.”

Managing up to ten properties on the platform costs £2.50 per property/month, with additional properties (up to six bedrooms) at £0.70 per property/month and seven to 10 bedrooms at £1 per property/month.
