Simple software that takes the repetitive work off your desk.
Oakdesk builds simple, practical tools for offices that run on spreadsheets and email. The first is for Scottish letting agencies. Based in Glasgow.
No sign-up. The demo uses made-up data only.
Lettings Assistant
For Scottish letting agencies. Every morning it shows what needs doing first, and it writes the emails and letters for you to check and send.
Safety certificates
Gas safety, EICR and PAT, smoke and heat alarms, legionella and EPC for every property, with what has expired, what is missing and what is due soon.
Rent chasing
See who is late and by how much, and send a polite reminder that is already written.
Repairs
Paste what the tenant said. It sets the urgency and the trade, and drafts the contractor email and the reply to the tenant.
Damp and mould
Deadlines tracked step by step (Awaab's Law), with the letter to the tenant drafted from your notes.
Tenancy deadlines
Deposit protection, rent reviews and landlord registration renewals, with the dates worked out for you. Rent increases are checked before they go out, with the April 2027 rules built in. About Rent Check
Your own data
Start with the demo, then point it at your own Google Sheet or Excel file. No new system to move into.
It reads, sorts and drafts. You decide.
- Sorts a repair from the tenant's own words, and warns you if something sounds like an emergency.
- Reads a certificate and fills in the type, the result and the dates.
- Turns a few rough notes into a clear letter.
- Nothing is sent until someone has checked it.
The same app, made to fit.
Out at a property? Open the same link on your phone. The screens rearrange themselves, with bigger buttons and one thing at a time. Choose a light or dark screen, and it remembers.
