Automate Your Lettings with PlanetRent
Buy-to-let landlords can now manage their rented homes remotely with PlanetRent. Our cloud-based, automated lettings platform makes the entire process simple and hassle-free.
Minimizing Contact, Maximizing Efficiency
PlanetRent reduces contact with agents, tenants, and contractors by automating key processes such as letting, re-letting, repairs, and marketing. Small landlords can access Rightmove and Zoopla and even create their own website to showcase properties effortlessly.
Ensuring Compliance with One Click
With PlanetRent, all legally required documents—including the How to Rent checklist, Deposit Protection Scheme details, EPCs, and gas safety certificates—are provided to tenants in just one click. Fully compliant contracts can be generated in seconds and e-signed remotely, helping landlords avoid fines of up to £20,000.
Deposit-Free Renting with Reposit
A partnership between PlanetRent and Reposit allows landlords to offer deposit-free rentals while receiving eight weeks’ rent cover. This makes renting more accessible to tenants while keeping landlords protected.
Streamlining Tenancy Renewals
PlanetRent simplifies tenancy renewals by prompting tenants to decide if they want to stay. If they choose to leave, the system automatically markets the property and triggers move-out checks, making re-letting seamless.
Enhancing the Tenant Experience
Renters benefit from an easy-to-use portal where they can view floorplans, utility references, inventory, and contracts. As documents get renewed, copies are automatically emailed, and tenants can request and monitor repairs through the platform.

Under Offer: This term applies to a property where the landlord is considering an offer but remains on the market. It implies that further offers may still be considered until the landlord formally accepts or declines the current offer.
Let Agreed: This term indicates that a landlord has provisionally agreed to enter into a rental agreement with a prospective tenant, pending additional checks and referencing. It doesn't require the prospective tenant to have paid a holding deposit.
Let: This term signifies an established binding rental agreement between the landlord and tenant.
For both lettings and sales, the guidance addresses additional terms:
New On The Market: This term is used for a property not advertised since its last sale or rental. It should only be used for a brief period.
New Instruction: It applies to a property assigned to an agent for marketing recently, even if it was previously listed with another agent without being sold or rented.
New and Exclusive: This term refers to a property that is either new on the market or a new instruction, exclusively available through a specific agent or portal.
New Method of Sale/Let: This term is used when a property is being marketed for sale or rent using an alternative approach to the original advertisement, such as transitioning to an auction or sealed bid.
Reduced: This term indicates that a property's price has recently been reduced. The reduction should be genuine and comply with the Chartered Trading Standards Institute's guidelines on pricing practices.
