Rent, repairs & certificates — tracked in one place.

Why landlords switch to us

Everything tracked. Nothing missed.

We'd rather be the agent that catches a gas safety certificate expiring three months early than the one that finds out the hard way. So we built our service around it.

  • Your own landlord portal — rent statements, inspections and repairs, any time
  • Tenants report repairs online, with photos, and can track them to completion
  • Every gas, electrical and EPC certificate tracked, with renewals flagged months ahead
  • Urgent jobs dispatched to vetted local trades — fast

Selective licensing

Does your rental need a licence?

Many councils require landlords to license privately rented homes, and letting without one can mean heavy fines. We check, apply and keep you compliant — so you don't have to. Letting in Birmingham? Check your postcode now.

★★★★★
I had a really positive experience with Dwellings from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole renting process. They made everything clear and straightforward, answered questions quickly, and were always approachable whenever I needed assistance. What stood out most was how smooth and stress-free they made the experience compared to other agencies I’ve dealt with before. The staff were friendly, organised, and seemed to genuinely care about both the tenants and the property standards. I would definitely recommend Dwellings to anyone looking for a reliable and professional lettings agency.

I was introduced to Dwellings when I ran into an issue with selective licensing, and I’m so glad I found them. From the outset, the service was excellent. I communicated via WhatsApp with a lovely lady called Sahara, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. Her communication was excellent, she was incredibly attentive, professional, and guided me through every step with patience and clarity. Nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend Dwellings to anyone needing help — truly a 5-star service all the way. Keep up the fantastic work!

I would like to say thank you to Ms Williams for visiting my rented property for the final inspection. She was very kind, friendly, and professional throughout the visit. I really appreciate her kindness and the way she made the final inspection easy and comfortable. Thank you, Ms Williams, for your help and support.
