For commercial property investors

Every building compliant. Every contract competitive.

Offices, retail and industrial property carry obligations a house never does. OwnBetter tracks your building warrants of fitness and specified systems, gets IQPs and contractors competing for the work, and keeps tenancies, outgoings, lending and insurance for the whole portfolio in one place.

Find my buildings
Personally held, company held and trust held.
Compliance, never missed
Every building’s warrant of fitness date, compliance schedule and specified systems in one calendar, with reminders well before anything lapses.
IQPs and contractors compete
Put IQP inspections and specified-system maintenance — fire, sprinklers, lifts, backflow, HVAC — out for quotes across the whole portfolio in one request.
Tenancies and OPEX recovery
Lease expiries, rent reviews and recoverable outgoings alongside what each building actually costs to run, so nothing recoverable is left on the table.
Lending across every entity
Commercial facilities, covenants, expiry dates and equity, held personally or through companies and trusts, in one finance-ready schedule.
Building compliance

A BWOF is a legal obligation, not a purchase

Miss a warrant of fitness and the owner is exposed — to council notices, to insurers, and to tenants who cannot legally occupy the building. Yet the IQP and maintenance contracts behind it are often rolled over for years without anyone checking the price.

We track the deadline first, and put the work to the market second. IQPs and contractors quote on a scope that is already assembled — your specified systems, inspection frequencies and history — so you compare like for like instead of chasing quotes one phone call at a time.

How compliance works

From compliance schedule to signed contract

  1. 01
    We find your buildings
    Search by name or company and we pull every title, plus the council record for each building.
  2. 02
    Load the compliance schedule
    Drop in the compliance schedule or last BWOF and we list the specified systems, inspection frequency and expiry.
  3. 03
    We watch the dates
    Warrant renewal, monthly and annual inspections, and 12A certificates — tracked and flagged before they are due.
  4. 04
    Providers quote
    Invite IQPs and maintenance contractors to quote on an assembled scope. You compare like for like and choose.

Beyond compliance

Make providers compete for the whole portfolio

Ten buildings’ worth of insurance, power and facilities work is a contract providers want. Ask once, choose which buildings and figures go with the request, and nothing is shared until you do.

Insurance
Material damage and business interruption renewals, sums insured checked against rebuild cost.
Electricity
Commercial time-of-use and half-hourly metered sites priced across retailers.
Refinancing
Facility expiries and covenant headroom watched, with lenders and brokers competing.
Facilities
Cleaning, security, grounds and waste contracts tendered across every building.

Stay compliant, and stop overpaying to do it

Free for property owners, however many buildings and however many entities. IQPs, contractors and providers fund the platform because an assembled, consented scope is worth more to them than a cold enquiry.
