How it works

Four steps, and most of it happens on its own.

1

Add your property

Name, address and postcode. Your EPC is found automatically from the public register, no upload needed.

2

Upload your certificates

Gas safety, EICR, fire risk, insurance and more. The expiry date, and for Gas Safety your boiler's make and model, are read for you.

3

Get nudged before anything lapses

Reminder emails land at 60, 30 and 7 days before a renewal is due, so nothing depends on you remembering to check.

4

Share proof in one link

Send an insurer, agent or inspector a secure, no-login page showing exactly where things stand, no digging through old emails.

What it does

Built for the paperwork a folder and a calendar reminder always let slip.

Everything a UK short-term-let host has to keep on top of, in one place, read automatically wherever it can be.

📄

Every certificate covered

Gas Safety, EICR, EPC, Fire Risk, Insurance, PAT, hot tub and legionella, all in one checklist per property, not one you have to remember to build yourself.

⏱

Read automatically

Upload the document and the expiry date, and your boiler's make and model, are picked up on their own. EPC is pulled straight from the public register.

Share proof in one link

Send an insurer, agent or inspector a secure, no-login page showing exactly where things stand, and see the moment they've opened it.

Trusted trades, on hand

A small, personally vetted list of trades and cleaners for when something needs renewing, not an open marketplace. Coming soon.

Coming regulation

Ready before it’s law?

No confirmed start date yet

England is introducing a registration scheme for short-term and holiday lets, with penalties of up to £5,000 for hosts who aren’t registered once it’s live. It’s been delayed more than once, so nobody can tell you exactly when it lands, including us.

What we can tell you is that gas safety, EICR, EPC and insurance renewals are already a legal requirement today, scheme or no scheme. Get those properly organised now with The Host Files, and when a registration number is finally required, it’s one more field in a property you’re already keeping in order, not a scramble.
