What It Is

Our Homes is an intelligent property management platform for real estate investors and property portfolio managers. Its core positioning is not simply rent collection or lease management, but “control, compliance, auditing, and accountability.” The site repeatedly emphasizes that every action is timestamped and logged with user ID and IP address, making it suitable for UK property management scenarios where a complete audit trail is needed for investors, owners, or regulatory requirements.

Core Features and Collaboration Permissions

The product covers many types of records involved in property operations: compliance dashboards, certificates and key-date reminders, maintenance request approvals and completion records, fire safety logs, cleaning records, testing schedules for safety equipment such as smoke alarms and boilers, document storage and version history, contractor access, and invoice records. QR-code access is one of its standout features: each property can generate a unique QR code, allowing residents, visitors, workers, or team members to scan it to access relevant information, submit issues, or view self-service guides. Each scan can also be recorded. For permissions, the platform supports role-based access control, with different visible content for staff, contractors, and tenants; the Enterprise plan also includes multi-team access.

Pricing and Deployment

Pricing follows a free plan plus sales-quote model. Starter is free and supports unlimited properties, QR codes, basic self-service guides, and email support, making it suitable for private landlords with a small number of properties. Professional requires contacting sales and adds maintenance work orders, compliance registers, fire logs, cleaning records, custom branding, and priority support. Enterprise uses custom pricing and includes project management, worker logs, multi-team access, API access, a dedicated account manager, and SLA. The site presents it as an online SaaS platform and does not mention self-hosted deployment.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its clear positioning and its closed-loop approach to UK property investment and compliance auditing, especially for scenarios involving multiple properties, multiple roles, and multiple contractors. The free plan’s support for unlimited properties also lowers the barrier to trial. The drawbacks are that advanced pricing is not transparent, and information is missing on third-party integrations, mobile apps, rent collection, lease accounting, and related financial features. On security and compliance, it only describes access control and audit trails, without disclosing ISO, SOC, GDPR details, or data residency information.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to UK property investors, portfolio managers, corporate landlords, letting agents, and Block Managers. If a China-based team manages overseas UK assets, it may be worth evaluating as a compliance recordkeeping tool. If the use case is managing local properties in China, differences in regulations, payments, maintenance-request ecosystems, and integration with local systems may require alternative solutions. The site does not specify access from mainland China or supported payment methods, so actual availability is unknown.
