Check Every Property in Your Borough Against 15 Data Sources
Most councils have no way to systematically screen PRS properties for compliance. PRSCheck automates the process, checking every known rental property and producing actionable risk scores.
What gets checked
Each property is screened against 15 compliance requirements drawn from the Housing Act 2004, the Renters' Rights Act 2024, the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) Regulations 2015, and the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

| Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) | Minimum E rating (C by 2030) | MHCLG EPC Register |
| Gas safety certificate | Annual inspection by Gas Safe engineer | Gas Safe Register |
| Electrical safety (EICR) | 5-yearly inspection, satisfactory report | Landlord declaration / NICEIC |
| HMO licence | Mandatory for 5+ occupants, 2+ households | Council licensing database |

How bulk screening works
Upload or connect your data
Provide your council tax extract, licensing database, and any local inspection records. PRSCheck securely ingests and normalises the data against its existing property intelligence.
Automated cross-referencing
Every property identified as likely PRS is checked against all 15 data sources. Checks run in parallel, with results typically available within 24 hours for an entire borough.
Review and act
Results appear in your PRSCheck dashboard as compliance scores, risk flags, and prioritised enforcement lists. Filter by ward, risk level, offence type, or potential penalty value.
What you get
Compliance scores
Every property receives a score from 0 to 100 based on how many compliance checks it passes. Scores update automatically as new data becomes available.
Risk flags
High-severity issues (Category 1 hazards, missing gas safety, expired EPC below minimum) are flagged for immediate attention with clear action guidance.
Priority lists
Properties are ranked by enforcement priority, factoring in severity, number of failures, penalty potential, and tenant risk. Work through them in order for maximum impact.
Data sources
PRSCheck draws on publicly available government data, council-provided records, and commercial datasets to build a complete compliance picture.
