Properties in SwiftlyBooks
The buildings you manage, your own and landlords', each with its units and who pays its running costs.
Add a property
- Press New property.
- Give its Name, Address and Kind. Under Whose, choose Ours or the landlord who owns it.
- Under Who pays what, say who pays each running cost, from council rates to security. The usual answers are chosen already.
- Press Save. The property's page opens.
Add its units
- On the property's page, press New unit.
- Give its Name, Kind and Floor area, m², then press Add unit.
- To let it, press New lease.
Bills to expect
- Each cost you pay shows under Bills to expect, with the day it falls due.
- Once its day passes unrecorded, press Record it. The bill is drafted for you to check against the supplier's and approve.
Good to know
- Add the landlord under Landlords first: only then can you choose them under Whose.
- What you pay for a landlord's property comes out of their money, never yours.
- Changing who pays a cost changes the next bill expected and the next lease charge. What is posted stays as it was.
