Portfolio Audit

Check a portfolio without changing your systems first

Upload a real property list and get back a reviewed file with the licensing answer for each address. It is the simplest way to start the Portfolio plan on a real batch.

  • A property-by-property licensing answer
  • Scheme type and published council fees for applicable schemes

  • Freshness and review dates kept visible

Send the file you already have

If you can export a spreadsheet, you can start. Use the starter template or map your existing columns to the fields below.

Minimum CSV columns

  • Postcode * (postcode): Required for property-level matching and council routing.
  • Property reference (property_reference): Your internal ID or portfolio reference if you have one.
  • Address line 2 (address_line_2): Flat, unit, or building detail when needed.
  • Town or city (town_or_city): Useful when the export is messy or spans similar postcodes.
  • UPRN (uprn): Helps reconcile large portfolios if your system already stores it.
  • Workflow notes (workflow_notes): Optional context such as branch owner, portfolio segment, or urgency.

  • Council name (council_name): Council responsible for the licensing position.
