How do I add a property?
Use New property, pick the address from Google's suggestions or press Find from address, check the map pin, then set the type, bedrooms and furnishing status.
- From Properties or the map, choose New property.
- Start typing the address. Picking a suggestion fills the address lines, postcode and map position for you, and tells Tenarize which country the property is in.
- Or type the address in yourself and press Find from address — Tenarize looks it up within the postcode you gave it.
- Check the pin on the map, and drag it if it isn't on the right building. The label under the map says how the position was arrived at — matched to the address, to the street only, or to the centre of the postcode.
- Set the property type, number of bedrooms, and — importantly — the furnishing status.
- Add licensing details if the property needs an HMO or selective licence, and any notes.
Worth knowing: A property can't be saved without a location, and Tenarize refuses a pin that sits implausibly far from its own postcode. The pin drives your map view, and the tenant portal uses the coordinates to work out which council bills the address — so a pin in the wrong place is not only cosmetic.
Worth knowing: Furnishing status is required when you create a property because it decides whether the compliance checklist includes the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 item. Leaving it wrong quietly under-states a real legal duty.
Bedrooms matter too if you let the property room by room — see letting a property room by room.
