PROTECT YOUR
PROPERTIES.
PROVE COMPLIANCE.

Yes — as with any fixture or fitting added to a tenancy, you should inform your tenant. In practice, most tenants welcome the sensor as it demonstrates your commitment to their health and safety. The device is compact, unobtrusive, and requires no interaction from the tenant whatsoever. We provide a simple tenant information card you can share at installation.

No. PropertyShield operates on a rolling monthly subscription at £25 per property per month. You can add or remove properties at any time and cancel with one month's notice. There are no setup fees and no long-term tie-ins.

Neither. The Resi-IQ sensor is entirely self-contained — it runs on a long-life battery and transmits data via its own built-in Vodafone NB-IoT SIM card. This means it works in any room, in any property, regardless of whether Wi-Fi is available. It is also completely non-intrusive to install, requiring no drilling or wiring.

Scotland's Investigation and Commencement of Repair Regulations (2026) require private landlords to investigate and begin remedying damp and mould hazards within strict timeframes once they are reported. PropertyShield goes further — it identifies risk conditions before they become a reportable hazard, and generates a continuous, timestamped evidence record showing that you monitored conditions proactively. This evidence is invaluable if a dispute arises or a regulatory inspection takes place.

Awaab's Law was introduced in England following the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak from mould exposure in a social housing property. It requires landlords to investigate and fix damp and mould within defined timeframes. Scotland has introduced equivalent duties for private landlords through its own 2026 regulations. Both frameworks place the burden of proof on landlords to demonstrate they acted promptly and responsibly — which is precisely what PropertyShield's automated monitoring and reporting provides.

Absolutely — the service is designed to scale across portfolios of any size. Each property receives its own sensors (monitoring up to 1,000 sq ft) and its own suite of weekly compliance reports. You receive a consolidated portfolio report showing the status, each week, of all your properties at a glance. Landlords with larger portfolios (6 or more properties) may be eligible for a volume discount; please contact us to discuss.

Letting Solutions handles installation entirely. One of our team will visit the property at a time that suits you and your tenant, mount the sensor in the optimal location (typically a bedroom or living room), and complete the Q-Start registration process. The whole installation takes under 10 minutes and causes no disruption to the tenant.

You receive a weekly summary report covering your portfolio with individual property reports covering key areas which include internal temperature, relative internal humidity, indoor air quality, mould index and external weather data. Reports are delivered and analysed every Monday afternoon. A full archive of all reports is available on demand — providing a complete property monitoring trail for the lifetime of the tenancy and afterwards.

Yes. Older properties — including traditional Scottish tenements, stone-built houses, and listed buildings — are often more susceptible to damp and condensation issues due to their construction. The Resi-IQ sensor is particularly well-suited to these properties because it requires no modification to the fabric of the building and provides the kind of continuous environmental data that helps distinguish between structural damp and condensation caused by occupant behaviour.
