The Problem

Council Housing Operations Are Broken

Councils face growing pressure to document, enforce, and evidence housing conditions — but the tools being used were designed for a different era of property management.

60%

of housing assessments still conducted on paper or basic spreadsheets

Days

to produce FOI evidence — but requests can arrive without warning

Growing

HMO licensing backlogs as manual workflows slow enforcement decisions

HHSRS Hazard Documentation

Category 1 and 2 assessments require structured, photographic evidence. Paper records can't reliably provide the audit trail needed to withstand legal challenge.

HMO Licensing Backlogs

Manual inspection workflows slow enforcement decisions and create compliance gaps in the private rented sector, frustrating both councils and applicants.

Public Accountability Gaps

Councillors and committees demand transparent, auditable records — but dispersed paper files and siloed spreadsheets can't deliver real-time portfolio oversight.

Large Portfolio Complexity

Condition tracking across thousands of homes with limited teams becomes unmanageable without structured digital workflows and centralised reporting.

Inspect360 solves every one of these challenges — out of the box, from day one.
