PropLink

PROPLINK BLOCK

The complete platform for block management

Service charges, arrears, supplier bills, bank reconciliation and statutory compliance in one system. Built for managing agents and RMCs who run UK residential blocks.

SERVICE CHARGES

From budget to balancing charge without a spreadsheet

Build the budget, allocate it across lease schedules and lock it on approval. Demands go out in annual, twice yearly, quarterly or monthly runs, each unit billed by the apportionment its lease actually says. At year end the balancing run compares demanded against actual spend and raises penny exact credits or charges per unit.

  • Schedule level fund accounting
  • Shares and percentage apportionment
  • Budget approval and lock with revisions
  • Unit budget certificates for every leaseholder
  • Budget versus actual per schedule
  • Guided eight step year end close

THE SERVICE CHARGE CYCLE

One cycle, fully joined up

Every stage posts to a full double entry ledger, so the numbers always agree with themselves.

Budget approved

Lines allocated across schedules, locked on approval, certificates generated for every unit.

Demands served

Statutory summaries attached, landlord details validated, posted copies for anyone without email consent.

Money collected

Direct Debit and card payments receipt themselves. The bank feed keeps reconciliation current.

Year balanced

The balancing run settles surplus or deficit per unit and the accounts lock in two stages.

COMPLIANCE

Compliance you can evidence

Statutory process lives in the product with its own clocks, prescribed forms and an audit trail a tribunal can follow.

Section 20 consultations, stage by stage

Draft

Scope the qualifying works and the schedules that fund them.

30 day window

Notice of Intention

The observation window runs on a live clock with observations logged.

30 day window

Notice of Proposals

A second observation window with the estimates attached.

Award

Written reasons recorded when the lowest estimate does not win.

Completed

Section 21B summaries

The prescribed Summary of Rights and Obligations rides with every demand, England and Wales forms included.

Sections 47 and 48

Landlord name and address for service are validated before a demand batch can be approved.

Section 166 notices

Ground rent demands generate with the prescribed notice and statutory timing windows enforced.

Section 20B time bar

An ageing report tracks costs against the 18 month bar and protective notices serve from the system.

The client money guard watches every commitment

Before you award works or approve a bill, PropLink measures the commitment against the client funds actually held for that site. Run it in warn mode or let it block overcommitment outright.

Built around RICS client money rules, with a per site live position.

  • Client funds held
  • Unpaid bills
  • Awaiting approval
  • Instructed not billed
  • Headroom

ARREARS

Credit control that runs itself

Every overdue unit gets an arrears case. Configurable workflows send reminders, formal demands and fees on the schedule you set, with amounts always taken from the lease. Payment plans track themselves against the ledger and a legal track records everything from Letter Before Action to tribunal.

  • Staged chase workflows you configure
  • Lease driven fees and contractual interest
  • Ledger tracked payment plans
  • Legal track including FTT referral
  • Pause, skip and block level holds
  • Full execution log on every case

THE FINANCE ENGINE

Money in, money out, fully accounted

Everything posts to a full double entry ledger underneath.

SUPPLIER BILLS

Bills that code themselves

Suppliers email invoices straight into your inbox address. AI extraction reads the bill, matches the vendor and codes the lines, with confidence scores and contract guards flagging anything above tolerance or already billed. You approve within your authorisation limit and pay through payment runs.

  • Email in supplier inbox with AI extraction
  • Contract guards and duplicate checks
  • Lease schedule assignment per line
  • Prepayments and accruals for year end
  • Payment runs with Bankline export
