Licensing targets rogue landlords. The complexity shouldn't punish good agents.
Licensing rules change constantly, boundaries can run through individual streets, and getting it wrong can cost £40,000 per property. Kamma was built to take that complexity away, giving letting agents one reliable answer for every property, and handling what comes next.
The rules change under your feet
New schemes. New boundaries. New licence conditions. New properties falling into scope. On average, something changes somewhere in UK property licensing every eight days. And when getting it wrong can mean a £40,000 penalty or up to 24 months' rent being repaid, “we didn't know” isn't much protection.
So we built the licensing system we thought agents should already have.
One place that knows which properties need a licence, spots changes before they become problems, helps your team explain them to landlords and, when a licence is needed, can take the application off your hands entirely.
See changes before they affect you
Now you can see a scheme coming before the rules bite, with the exact properties it will affect and time left to act.
Give landlords a straight answer
Plain-English templates for the conversation with the landlord, so the explaining is done for you.
Get applications off your desk
Our own applications team prepares the documents, deals with the council and chases it through to approval. You are not left holding a to-do list.
Never lose track of a condition
Every licence arrives with conditions attached. Kamma tracks all of them automatically, and the tasks each one spawns, for every licensed property in your book.
Never miss a renewal
Alerts when a licence is expiring, a tenancy changes shape, or a scheme renews, so nothing lapses quietly.
Keep licensing inside your CRM
Licensing status on the property record your negotiators and property managers open every day, not in a separate system nobody remembers.
Licensing status sits on the property record in the system your team already opens every day.
It all starts with getting the licensing answer right.
Licensing schemes don't neatly follow postcodes. They follow streets, property types and sometimes even individual sides of a road. That's why Kamma works address by address, and flags the properties where the answer needs a human check rather than pretending certainty where there isn't any.
The same postcode, two different licensing regimes. Kamma answers address by address.
64,484 postcodes sit across a scheme boundary
That is 1.4 million homes where a postcode-level answer has to guess.
Roughly 47 guesses in a 1,000-property book
The expensive mistake is the property wrongly given the all-clear. You find out when the council letter arrives.
Turn licensing from a risk into an advantage.
Protect your portfolio
One missed property can cost up to £40,000. Kamma costs a fraction of that for an entire year.
Cut licensing admin
Foxtons saved 268 hours a year, per agent, by replacing manual licensing checks and admin.
Make it a revenue line
Let Kamma handle applications while you give landlords a better service and create a revenue stream rather than another admin cost.
Technology finds the changes. People make sure they're right.
Kamma isn't a black box. Four permanent in-house teams stand behind every answer: Council Compliance, Engineering & Product, Customer Success and Licence Applications.
Monitored. Checked. Verified.
Every licensing change is reviewed and verified by a person before it reaches your portfolio.
Straight to the source
Our in-house team speaks directly to 300+ councils, rather than relying on websites being up to date.
From rule change to Kamma
Our compliance and product teams work side by side, so when licensing changes, Kamma changes with it.
