The Street.co.uk development team has been hard at work in April, implementing several enhancements and releases. These updates include adjustments to Material Information fields to align with changes on Rightmove, the introduction of new owner preferences for lettings, and the addition of new features aimed at facilitating BACS payments and invoice management.
We've put together a quick video demonstrating some of the key releases here:
However you can dive into all of the the details below…
Street.co.uk supports Rightmove’s listing changes to keep agents compliant with Material Information
Street.co.uk has introduced additional information fields to our property record page in preparation for portals surfacing more Material Information on listings. Each field is labelled to indicate which part of Material Information (A, B or C) it pertains to, helping you to ensure that your listings are compliant. Plus, with Street.co.uk's mobile Property Information Questionnaire workflow and integration with Street Insights, you can automate data population and simplify the onboarding process, making it easier than ever to publish accurate listings on portals.
For more information on adding Material Information into Street, see our Property Details help article
Owner Preferences for lettings*
Now on a landlord's profile, you can now add owner preferences to customise your service even more. You can set preferred contractors for each landlord, so that when maintenance requests come in, you’ll know which contractors the landlord prefers to work with. You can also set a float preference amount and a minimum job cost for instant approval. Additionally, you can edit and add statement recipients, allowing you to add more email addresses to receive copies of the statement.
Head to the owner page of a property and look for the Owner Preferences card on the right hand side.
*statements will only show if you handle your property management/accounting in Street.
Added Invoice Created date column to the Invoice table
We have added an Invoice Created date column to the invoice section, which allows for better visibility of payment windows and can be exported in CSV format.
Your invoice table can be found by clicking Invoices on the left side panel at the bottom.
Ability to export lettings invoices into Xero format
We have introduced a new feature that allows you to export invoices to Xero in addition to the existing ability to export them to QuickBooks. With this update, it is now easier to add invoices to your preferred accounting software to manage client accounting effectively.
Head to invoices > lettings invoices > click export (top right):
BACS file formats added for Lloyds & Barclays*
We’ve added new BACS file formats for Lloyds and Barclays. This now means agents on Street.co.uk can manage bulk payments for those alongside Natwest, RBS, Bank of Scotland, Virgin Money, Calmony, and HSBC. and more.
On Payments to Make, when exporting the payment file, if the bank to pay from is in the above list (now including Lloyds and Barclays), you will see the Create Bank Export option.
*applies only if you handle your property management/accounting in Street
Added additional fields into the deposit export*
Now, upon exporting the deposit table in accounting, you will be able to see the Reference Number, Tenant Names, and Registration Date along with the existing fields. This will provide you with a complete overview of all deposit details whenever you want to export information out of their Street.co.uk CRM.
Head to accounting > deposits > export to CSV.
*applies only if you handle your property management/accounting in Street
Added Tenancy Reference into tenancy export
You can now export a list of all tenancies, which includes a newly added tenancy reference column. This column complements the existing columns covering landlord and tenant details, status, service level, and rent amount.
Enter the payment reference on the tenancy details tab and this will show on the export file.
Set Maintenance Inbox for issues reported via the app
Now, you can specify an inbox email address to receive all incoming maintenance requests raised by tenants through the Street app or website. This setting overrides the company maintenance inbox setting, giving you better control and visibility over inbound maintenance requests.
Head to either Branch or Company settings (depending how you want to set this up) > Notification Preferences > Settings (top right) > look for the 'Lettings Maintenance Inbox' section and enter the inbox email you want to use.
Collapsable cards on the Property Page
We've revamped the Property Page to introduce collapsible cards, including the Property Information Questionnaire card, Checklist card, and Compliance card. This enhancement allows you to neatly organise your Property Page, making it easier to focus on essential information effortlessly. You can either collapse cards individually or click the 'collapse all' button.
