Roost
Built for UK private landlords

Your Gas Safety certificate is fine. Proving it in 30 seconds is the problem.

A council officer asks. A tenant asks. A buyer asks. Roost keeps every certificate, its expiry date and your tenant messages in one place, so you can answer straight away.

No credit card required  ·  Free for tenants  ·  £60 a year per property for landlords

UK GDPR compliant Hosted in the UK (AWS London) MFA on every account

Everything a landlord needs. Nothing they don't.

Six tools in one platform. All connected. No spreadsheets, no email chains, no chasing.

Property Dashboard

See the compliance status of every property at a glance. Green means you're covered. Amber or red means action is needed — with the exact document flagged.

  • Traffic light status per property
  • Expiring document warnings
  • Open issues surfaced in one view

Document Storage

Upload PDFs and images once. Landlords can access them any time; tenants get read-only access to their own documents. No more email attachments.

  • Secure cloud storage per property
  • Expiry date tracking per document
  • Retained for 6 years after tenancy

Compliance Tracking

Roost tracks the six UK baseline compliance documents for every property. Toggle off categories that don't apply — for example, no gas supply on an all-electric property.

  • AST, Gas Safety, EPC, EICR
  • Deposit protection & buildings insurance
  • Per-property toggles for your situation

Messaging

A private, logged message thread per property. Every conversation stays with the property — not lost in a personal inbox or WhatsApp chat that can't be retrieved.

  • Landlord ↔ tenant only
  • Persistent history per property
  • Email notification on new message

Issue Reporting

Tenants raise maintenance issues with a description, urgency level, and optional photo. Landlords track status — Open, In Progress, Resolved — with a full reply thread.

  • Urgency flagging (Normal / Urgent)
  • Photo uploads supported
  • Status drives property dashboard

Notifications

Automatic email alerts keep both parties informed without anyone needing to manually chase. Every key event triggers the right notification to the right person.

  • New message & issue alerts
  • Document upload notifications
  • In-app notification centre

Up and running in minutes

Three steps from sign-up to a green dashboard.

Add your property and invite your tenant

Enter the property address and send your tenant an email invite. They set up their account in minutes — free, always.

2

Upload your compliance documents

Upload your AST, Gas Safety, EPC, EICR, and deposit certificate. Set expiry dates so Roost can warn you before they run out.

3

Your dashboard turns green

All compliance documents in place. No outstanding issues. Dashboard goes green. That's your aha moment — everything under control, in one place.

Simple, transparent pricing

One price. No tiers. No surprises.

Who Roost is for, and who it isn't

We would rather you know now than find out after you sign up.

Roost is for you if

  • You let out one or more homes in the UK and plan to carry on.
  • You want your certificates, expiry dates and tenant messages in one place.
  • You want your tenant to see the paperwork that is theirs to see.

Roost is not for you if

  • You want something that collects rent or chases your tenant for it. Roost does not.
  • You want tenant referencing or an agent to find you tenants. Roost does not.
  • You are selling your only rental soon. It will cost you more than it saves.
  • You need a phone app. Roost is a website that works on your phone.

Roost is a place to keep your documents and talk to your tenant. It is not legal advice.
