For UK operators letting mixed space

Your site isn't just one thing. Your software shouldn't be either.

Containers, storage rooms, workshops, yard space — UnitLet runs all of them from one login. It's made for the laptop or PC in the office, where the leases, the rent reviews and the estate valuation actually get done, and the same account carries on to your tablet in a meeting and your phone out on the estate.

£39 a month per account 30 days free · no card needed

Founding offer: the first ten businesses pay £29 a month for their first 12 paid months, then £39 a month.

Start your free trial Look round the demo estate

The demo is a real account full of invented tenants. No signup, no email address.

The estate map on a laptop: 116 units laid out in blocks called Bellhurst Yard, The Arches, Container Compound and Storage Barn — three terraces of workshops with an access road between them, two spans of arches and a full container compound — each tile named after its tenant and coloured green for paid, outlined amber for due soon and red for overdue, with vacant units white, one reserved, one out of service, unit 4 ringed in red dashes as cannot be let on its EPC and unit 18 carrying a small amber square because it is let under a registered MEES exemption.
The same estate's dashboard on an Android phone: 90% let by area across 99 of 115 units, a rent roll of £1,231,955 a year, 15,860 square feet empty, six accounts in arrears, eight lease deadlines at risk and two statutory items overdue.
  • Every kind of unit on one login
  • Proper leases and monthly licences together
  • MEES built in: an F or G unit can't be listed
  • Holding over under the 1954 Act is recognised
How it works

Your whole estate, on the screen in the office.

These are real screens from the demo estate, on a laptop. Nothing is mocked up, and it looks the same on a PC or a tablet.

  1. See the whole estate at a glance

    Every unit on one plan, laid out in your own blocks: green is paid, amber is due soon, red is overdue, and vacant, reserved and out-of-service units are marked. Click a unit to see who's in it.

    • Units coming free are flagged before they are
    • A unit that can't lawfully be let says so on the map
    The estate map on a laptop: a key for paid, due soon, overdue, vacant, reserved, out of service and leaving soon, block buttons, and Bellhurst Yard and The Arches shown as terraces of coloured tiles with each tenant's name, 14 units empty now, 3 coming free inside three months, and a control to look six or twelve months ahead instead.

  2. Chase what's owed in a couple of clicks

    One list of everyone past their due date, with how late they are and what they owe. Send reminder opens the message already written, in your name, and notes on the record that you chased — so nobody gets asked twice by accident.

    • A firmer final notice for the ones who ignore the first
    • Copy the wording into a text or an email instead
    • Record the payment from the same screen when it arrives
    Overdue accounts on a laptop: Kestrel Motor Works 176 days late owing £18,142.50 across two quarters of rent, service charge and insurance rent, Dunmow Signs and Graphics 85 days owing £4,770.00, Two Rivers Upholstery 85 days owing £2,660.75 and Copperfield Antiques 31 days owing £275.00, each with its unit, the oldest date it fell due, a phone number, how the figure was worked out and the date it was last chased, and buttons to record a payment, send a reminder, send a final notice, log contact or copy the message.

  3. Everything about a tenant, in one place

    Contact details, the unit they're in, their lease or licence with its rent, term and deposit, the company and any guarantor, plus payments, documents and every note anyone has made.

    • Where notices under the lease have to be served
    • Insurance policies and their expiry, chased before they lapse
    A tenant's page on a laptop: Kestrel Motor Works with phone, email and address, their lease on Unit 3 at £7,687.50 quarterly by bank transfer, which began in July 2021 and is marked “lease expired 18/07/2026, holding over” because the term has run out and the tenant is still there under the 1954 Act, with the next rent date shown in red and the deposit held, and the company details recording the registered office where notices under the lease must be served.

  4. Let it nag you, not the other way round

    Open it in the morning and the dashboard has already worked out what needs you: what's let and what's empty, what's owed, which lease deadlines have gone past their notice date, which statutory inspections are overdue, and anything that can't lawfully be let.

    The dashboard on a laptop: 90% let by area, a £1,231,955 rent roll across 99 agreements, 15,860 square feet empty, six accounts in arrears, eight deadlines at risk, two statutory items overdue, one unit that cannot be let on its EPC with one more let under an exemption, and one tenant holding over under the 1954 Act, above a list of lease deadlines that have already passed.
The estate value report on a laptop: passing rent of £1,231,955 a year at £8.73 a square foot let, £1,117,307.31 actually banked over twelve months, 90% let by area, a reversion of £188,857.50 not being earned, and the weighted average unexpired lease term quoted at 4.59 years to expiry and 3.94 years to break, with a chart of when the income falls in.
The desk work

Made for a proper screen.

The jobs that want a keyboard and room to see — a rent review, a service charge reconciliation, the report your lender asks for — are all there, laid out for a laptop or PC.

  • What the estate is worth: passing rent against what was actually banked, and the reversion you aren't earning
  • WAULT quoted twice, to expiry and to break — the second is the one a lender uses
  • Service charge budgets, on-account demands and a year-end reconciliation per unit
  • Exports your bookkeeper can bring into Xero or QuickBooks
  • Up to five logins, with settings, billing and exports kept to owners and admins
Tablet and phone

The same work, picked up wherever you are.

A tablet gets the same full layout as a laptop, on the office desk or carried into a meeting with an agent. And the same account is on your phone when you're out on the estate — check who's in a unit, take a meter reading, record a payment at the gate, or log a job with a photo.

The estate map on a landscape Android tablet, with the same menu down the side as on a laptop and Bellhurst Yard and The Arches shown as full terraces of colour-coded unit tiles with their tenants' names.
The dashboard on an Android phone: 90% let by area, the rent roll for the year, square feet empty, accounts in arrears and statutory items overdue as stacked cards, with a bottom bar for Home, Estate, Tenants, Leases and Money.
Overdue accounts on an Android phone: six tenants between 31 and 176 days late, each with the unit, everything they owe across every unpaid period, the oldest date it fell due, how the figure breaks down and when they were last chased, and buttons to record a payment or send a reminder.
Everything in the box

Made for a mixed site, not a single trade.

Every feature is in every account. The ones marked optional use an account of your own with another provider, and stay off until you switch them on.

A site plan that matches the site

Lay your units out the way they actually sit, in your own blocks. Colour tells you paid, due, late, empty or out of service in one look.

Rent, chased on its own

Demands go out before the money is due and again when it's late, by email or text, in your name, with replies coming back to you. The same reminder is never sent twice.

The paperwork that bites

Fire risk assessments, EICRs, asbestos, legionella, LOLER, gas and EPCs. UnitLet knows the intervals, lists what has never been recorded at all, and emails you before anything lapses.

Deadlines you can't undo

Break clauses, rent reviews and lease expiries — warned by the notice date, not the event date. A break that isn't operated in time can't be operated at all.

Leases and licences together

English quarter days, service charge, upward-only and index-linked reviews and dilapidations on the units that need them — and plain monthly licences on the ones that don't. Same estate, same screen.

Maintenance and meters

Log a job from your phone with a photo. Record ingoing and outgoing readings so the next tenant's bill starts where it should.

Card and Direct Debit Optional

Connect your own Stripe or GoCardless. The money goes straight to you, and a cleared payment updates the tenant's record by itself.

Enquiries matched to units

Keep the people asking for space. When a unit comes free, UnitLet suggests who on the list it suits — by size, by rate and by what they asked for.

A message to the whole estate

The gate code changes on Monday? Email or text every tenant, just the current ones, or everyone in arrears, in one go. Marketing messages get an unsubscribe link automatically.

A diary for the estate

What the agent said, when the gate code changed, who promised to clear the yard by Friday. Tie a note to a tenant or a unit, and give it a follow-up date.

Your team, with roles

Up to five logins. Staff get the day-to-day screens; settings, billing, backups, exports and estate-wide messages stay with owners and admins.

It's your data

Backed up every night. Download spreadsheets and a full backup from Settings whenever you like — and still, if you stop paying.

Who's behind it

Why we built it.

UnitLet started as software for one caravan storage yard in Essex, because the alternative was a spreadsheet and a wall planner. Then the same site added containers. Then two workshop units on proper leases.

Nothing on the market handled all three. Self-storage software doesn't know what a rent review is. Commercial property software costs more per month than the containers earn and assumes you have a surveyor on staff. So we built the thing that does both, for the operator who is doing both — and who is, most days, also the person cutting the grass.

I build it, I support it, and if you email, you get me — not a ticket queue.

UnitLet is a product of Property Workflow Systems Ltd, a UK company, and is built in Essex. hello@unitlet.co.uk

Questions

What operators ask first.

I only let containers. Is this overkill?

No. The lease machinery — rent reviews, service charge, dilapidations — stays switched off until you have something that needs it. What you see is units, tenants, rent and maintenance. It's there the day you add a workshop, and not before.

I have proper FRI leases. Does it really handle those?

Yes, and this is the part most storage software has never heard of. English quarter days, service charge budgets and year-end reconciliation, upward-only and index-linked rent reviews, break notices warned by the notice deadline, dilapidations, and whether a lease is contracted out of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

What do I need to run it?

A laptop, PC, Mac or tablet with a web browser — there's nothing to install. It's designed for a proper screen in the office, and the same account works on your phone for when you're out on the estate; add it to your phone's home screen and it opens like an app. It needs an internet connection to save anything.

Can I get my data out?

Any time, in one click, as spreadsheets. There's also a nightly backup you can download or restore yourself. We think an export button you never need is the only honest way to sell software you keep somebody's business in.

What happens after the free trial?

It goes read-only, not away. You can still log in, look at everything and download your records — you just can't add or change anything until you subscribe. Nothing is deleted.

Do my tenants have to do anything?

No. Out of the box it's a tool for you and your staff; tenants just get well-timed demands and reminders from you. Card payments and Direct Debit are there if you want them, and off until you turn them on.

Do you take a cut of my rent?

No. One monthly subscription, that's the whole commercial relationship. If you take card payments we connect your own Stripe or GoCardless account and the money goes straight to you.

I run more than one estate. Two subscriptions?

A subscription covers one account, with its own web address and unlimited units. A property that needs its own name on its demands and letters is a second account, because an account has one.
