Done well, cross sales pay for the marketing budget. Done badly, they cost you the customer.
Every time a tenancy changes, someone in your office is on hold with the council, the water company and the energy supplier. Helpthemove automates the entire notification process in about 30 seconds — and creates a new commission income stream for your agency. Free to use. No workflow change. Over a decade in the market.
Council tax. Water. Energy. Every move-in and move-out means contacting multiple providers, waiting on hold, sending emails into the void and hoping someone updates the account. Multiply that across your full managed book and your property managers are spending hours every week on admin that adds zero value to your clients.
Your property managers are calling councils and energy suppliers one by one, waiting in queues, repeating the same information. That time belongs on inspections, renewals and landlord calls.
A tenant disputes a bill. A landlord gets charged for energy during a void. Without timestamped records of every notification, you're exposed. Your team can't prove what was sent or when.
Every void property accumulates standing charges and energy costs. If those aren't managed and cleared, they land on your landlord's statement — and on your relationship with them.
When tenants switch to your energy partner through Helpthemove, your office earns commission. Most agencies are doing the notification work already without capturing any of that value.
Helpthemove is free to use. You set up an account, enter your change-of-tenancy details once, and the platform handles everything from there — council tax, water and energy notifications with a full timestamped audit trail for every property.
Change-of-tenancy details trigger automatic notification to the relevant local authority. No hold music, no duplicate data entry, no chasing.
Water account transfers handled automatically for every tenancy change. Accurate billing from day one for both outgoing and incoming tenants.
Energy accounts transferred and logged. Your team skips supplier switchboards and call queues entirely through Helpthemove's dedicated energy partner team.
Void standing charges cleared for up to 30 days. Up to £15 clearance per energy meter. Landlords avoid unnecessary costs between tenancies.
Every action logged with a timestamp. When a tenant disputes a bill or a landlord queries a void charge, you have a clear paper trail to hand immediately.
When tenants remain with Helpthemove's preferred energy partner, your agency earns commission. A revenue line from work your team was already doing for free.

Helpthemove isn't a startup asking you to take a chance. It's been handling UK tenancy utility notifications since 2014, scaled to a team of 55 and manages hundreds of thousands of properties nationwide.
PropTech That Pays Back is the Kerfuffle initiative that rewards estate agents with kredits when they actually use what they've bought — not just when they sign the contract. Helpthemove isn't on the platform presently. If you'd like to see Helpthemove added and arrange a demo as part of the rollout, register your interest below and we'll get back to you.
