An end-of-tenancy PropTech platform set up by a high profile agent has announced a major enhancement to its service.
The Depository was founded by Kristjan Byfield who also runs London agency Base Property Specialists, and the platform is integrated with a series of other PropTech services including the TDS Insured and Custodial schemes, PropertyCo, Please Connect Me, Inventory Hive, inventorybase and No Letting Go.
Now The depositary has introduced a 'batch merge and delete' function which enables agents to merge or group dilapidations as they see fit, ready for review by a landlord and then negotiation with the tenant.
Byfield says: “How an agent chooses to organise this is their choice entirely - they may wish to group all alike issues together such as blown light bulbs, cleanliness issues, wall scuffs, etc - or they may wish to group by category (cleaning, damage, gardening, redecoration, rent or other). Or they could group according to the contractor that will quote and resolve the issues.
“Once that has been done, they can quickly remove any irrelevant matters that fall under fair wear and tear or pre-existing issues using delete. These actions, even on the most dilapidated of tenancies, can now be performed by agents in a matter of seconds.”
Byfield adds: “We are on a mission to transform the working lives of letting agents across England and Wales by delivering an intuitive, automated, time-saving product. Focusing on the tenancy conclusion process - once notice has been served through to refund or dispute - we are working tirelessly to turn hours of work into minutes.”
He says over 400 refinements, updates and new features have been released by The depositary since it launched two years ago.
The Depositary, announcing its latest enhancement, also releases endorsements by two other PropTech firms.
Richard Abbots of Inventory Hive comments: “This update to our integration means that agents can drive efficiency and remove the emotion from communications with tenants in a seamless way potentially doing hours of work in seconds.”
And Steve Rad of InventoryBase states: “Cutting the time spent on deposit resolution has been a high priority for InventoryBase. As developers, we know how much work goes into enhancing an already powerful solution so the launch of the ‘batch merge and delete’ feature provides increased functionality, better protection and greater value to landlords, agents and inventory professionals.”
There is a demo of the enhancement on Wednesday August 3 at 12.30pm on the Kerfuffle site.

We estimate that our inventory partner integrations, enhanced by our new 'batch merge and/or delete' function, will enable our agents to 90 mins work in just 90 seconds!
If it looks like an advertorial, reads like an advertorial, it is an adevrtorial.
I was waiting for your ray of sunshine to brighten up my day FUL- so glad you didn't disappoint. Out of interest, how else would you suggest we make agents aware of our ongoing innovation and improvements.....smoke signal, morse code or maybe we just need to moan a bit more;-)
T was waiting for your snarky comment - you excel at them when you have no idea what I do. As I have told you before the second word is off.
I don’t know, I think I’ve got a pretty good idea what you do- you spend all day visiting every industry article posting the most pointless, miserable, whingey comments you can think of. Then get surprised when I call you out for it. Switch off the monitor and go and enjoy the sunshine! Why spend your life doing something which clearly brings you no joy!?!
Also if, as you have set out many times, you are the oracle of all things lettings (both agent & landlord) why not start posting under your real name so we know which deity to worship forthwith. Unless making bold statements and generally being vile might somehow backfire if everyone knew your real identity.
**** off Byfield. You are so totally up your own rear end. I enjoy my life, it is miserable knowalls like you that get my goat. Now do me a favour and keep your comments about me to youself in future.
I am in favour of good professional landlords, agents and tenants and those I praise so go suck it, byfield.
More classy and informed debate as usual FUL. If you don’t like being called out for being nasty then maybe just keep your thoughts to yourself!?! Or accept that putting them in a public forum opens you up to people like me calling you out. Still waiting for the day you grow a pair & post all this stuff under your own name- but trolls are notoriously scared of those around them discovering what they’re REALLY like.
JB- **** OFF. Unlike you I do0 not claim to be an oracle. I speak from my own experience and would not touch any business you were involved in with a 200 foot bargepole.
That’s the best news I’ve heard all year!
If only I could block you out of my life. II'd pay to never see your name or comments ever again.
There’s a super easy solution to your problem- stop posting nasty comments & ill stop calling you out for it.
**** OFF or you could stop commenting on my comments and keep your big fat nose and mouth OUT.
You’ve commented on an article about one of my companies….. maybe it’s you with the impulse issues!?! Trolls always look for someone else to blame though so I shouldn’t be surprised.
troll? Have you looked in the mirror. Hopefully people will see your comments and it will turn them of, not just you but any company you are involved in.
I actually commented on it being an advert. I have no objection to advertorials when they are clearly labelled as such. I do not blame you for that, but perhaps LAT could put ADVERTORIAL at the top of the page.
That's because it isn't an advertorial- it's a press release. As you so often say 'wrong again'. Troll hunter- out!
If it looks like an advertorial, reads like an advertorial, it is an advertorial.
bye bye troll.
God help anyone using your company. They can see here what is in store for them.
Letting agents already have good software
They couldn't exist without itt, especially since the government interfered in the market and cut agents fees in half.
Kristjan, l think the biggest issuer of press releases is the Government and are political propaganda,view selling the government line.You are trying to take money out of a market where none exists,bits already gone. Most landlords visit the property and try to fix things on the spot or summonns specialised support,ASAP. If l charged an economic price for my work l would be losing money hand over first.
Great to see move evolution from you guys, excited to benefit from it.
It's definitely an advertorial, and it's definitely a company to avoid.
