Marketing spend without a system is a discretionary cost. Marketing with the right partner is an instructed-listing pipeline.

Managing HMOs through spreadsheets, WhatsApp and standard lettings software was never designed for shared living. The result is missed compliance checks, slow maintenance responses and tenants who disengage before their tenancy even starts.
Each void triggers a round of copy-pasting listings to Rightmove, SpareRoom and other portals individually. For a portfolio above ten rooms, that overhead eats hours that should go into finding the right tenants.
Reference requests, right-to-rent checks, deposit receipts and tenancy agreements handled in different places with no single record of what was sent, signed or returned.
HMO licences, fire safety checks, electrical testing, gas safety certificates - each with its own renewal date across dozens of properties. A missed deadline is a civil penalty or, in the worst case, a prosecution.
Without a logged, trackable maintenance workflow, jobs get missed, evidence disappears and landlords face avoidable deposit deductions at tenancy end.
COHO is designed around how shared property portfolios actually work - multiple tenants per property, frequent room voids, complex compliance calendars and tenants who expect a modern digital experience from day one.
Set up a room once and COHO publishes it automatically to the letting portals you use. When a room is filled, the listing comes down. When another room becomes available, it goes back up - without manual re-entry every time.
Digital onboarding flows for each new tenant: referencing, right-to-rent verification, tenancy agreement signing and deposit registration - tracked in one place with a clear record of every step completed.
Every compliance deadline for every property in your portfolio tracked automatically: HMO licence renewals, fire risk assessments, electrical testing, gas safety - with alerts before deadlines, not after them.
Rent due dates, payment tracking and arrears management for every room across every property. Automated payment reminders to tenants so your team spends less time chasing and more time managing.
Tenants report maintenance issues through the COHO platform. Every issue is logged, timestamped and tracked through to resolution - with a full record of actions taken for any deposit dispute.
COHO's tenant-facing features include housemate profiles so prospective tenants can see who they will be living with. A better tenant experience means longer tenancies and fewer voids.
COHO is designed to get HMO and co-living portfolios live quickly. Most operators are managing actively within a working week of setup.
Add your properties and room configurations to COHO. The platform is designed for quick setup with no need to re-enter data you already hold.
Existing tenants are invited onto the platform. They gain access to their tenancy documents, maintenance reporting and messaging from day one.
Input your current compliance certificate dates and COHO builds your compliance calendar automatically - showing everything outstanding and everything due in the next six months.
Connect your portal accounts and set up your room listing templates. When the next void arises, COHO publishes automatically rather than requiring a fresh manual listing.
Rent tracking, maintenance, compliance and tenant communication run through a single dashboard. Your portfolio is visible in real time - not buried across multiple spreadsheets and inboxes.
