Property licensing compliance inside SME Professional.

How Kamma connects to SME Professional
Three steps, and none of them change your CRM.
Add Kamma to your browser
Kamma's connector runs as a browser extension that sits alongside SME Professional. Your team installs it once. SME Professional itself is not modified, and there is no migration of your data.
Kamma reads the fields it needs
With the connector active, Kamma reads the property and tenancy fields required for a licensing determination out of SME Professional: the address, the property type and the occupancy. Nobody re-keys anything into a second system.
Get the answer where the work happens
The licensing position shows on the property record you have open, and the app's home screen gives your branch's overall compliance position without leaving SME Professional. Every property also syncs into Kamma Suite, so the full portfolio view and the reporting are there when you want them.
What Kamma reads from SME Professional
Kamma reads the fields a licensing determination depends on. It does not alter your records.
Answer both licensing questions without leaving SME Professional.
Open Kamma on a property in SME Professional and you get two tabs. One tells you what a property would need at a given occupancy. The other tells you where it stands today.
What would this property need?
Enter the number of occupants and households, and you get the answer for that address with the reasoning shown. It's the tab for valuations and appraisals, including properties that aren't on your books yet.
Where does this property stand today?
The licensing position Kamma holds for the property, worked out from the tenancies synced from SME Professional. There's nothing to type, because nothing here is hypothetical.
What the SME Professional integration unlocks in Kamma Suite
An independent agency gets the same portfolio-wide monitoring and renewal planning a national one has.
Compliance monitoring across the whole portfolio
Every property that syncs from SME Professional is monitored against the schemes in force where it sits. Kamma flags what needs a licence, what is in breach, what is expiring, and what will need a licence when an upcoming scheme starts.
A dashboard that says what to do next
Compliance status and the priority actions summarised in one view, so the team knows where the time is best spent rather than working down a list of everything.
Email alerts without logging in
A portfolio compliance snapshot by email, so whoever owns lettings compliance sees the position and the priority actions without opening Kamma at all.
Schemes before they start
Kamma tracks newly announced schemes and works out which of your properties will need a licence when one begins. That is the window in which applications are calm and cheap rather than urgent.
Filters that match how the work is actually done
Filter your SME Professional portfolio by compliance status, licence type required, licence expiry, local authority, branch, the property manager responsible, or properties caught by an upcoming scheme. Action Required surfaces applications in progress and incomplete or unrecognised addresses.
Article 4 and HMO planning constraints
See whether a property sits in an Article 4 direction area, where permitted development rights are restricted and planning permission may be needed before a conversion to an HMO. London properties are also flagged where room sizes may fall below the minimum standards.
Licence conditions tracked as work, not paperwork
Fire safety works, electrical inspections and the other conditions a council attaches to a licence can be logged and tracked to completion, with a property marked non-compliant if a task falls overdue.
Tenancy changes that change the answer
Concurrent tenancies at one property are aggregated so occupants and households produce the correct licence requirement, which is what room-by-room HMO letting needs. More than one licence can sit against a property, so a renewal can be tracked while the existing licence stays in place.
An audit trail you can show a council
A full history of changes to a property and its licensing information, with the timestamp and the person who made each change.
Getting started with Kamma and SME Professional
Your onboarding contact sets the SME Professional connection up with your operations lead and walks the team through it. Most agencies are looking at their own portfolio position within 30 minutes.
SME Professional and Kamma, common questions
Does Kamma work with SME Professional?
Yes. Kamma reads the property and tenancy fields it needs from SME Professional and shows each property's UK licensing position alongside the record.
Does Kamma change anything in SME Professional?
No. Kamma reads from SME Professional and displays the licensing position alongside your records. Your data is not altered.
How much of the UK does the licensing coverage extend to?
All 350+ mandatory HMO, additional and selective schemes in force across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, tracked daily.
What does it cost to add Kamma?
Kamma is priced by portfolio size and the tier you need. CRM connectivity is part of the product rather than a separate integration fee. The pricing page has the current tiers.
A property isn't showing in Kamma. What's happened?
Either it hasn't synced yet, which newly added properties often haven't, or the address couldn't be matched to a real property. Check whether it appears in Kamma Suite: if it does, the next sync will pick it up; if it doesn't, correcting the address in your CRM will fix it.
What does "Unknown" mean on a property?
That Kamma couldn't determine the position, usually because it doesn't hold the occupancy information yet. It isn't the same as "No licence required", which means Kamma has checked and nothing is needed.
What is property licensing, and why does it sit with the agent?
Most UK councils require a licence to let certain properties, either because the property is a house in multiple occupation or because the council has designated an additional or selective licensing scheme covering the area. Letting an unlicensed property that needs a licence can attract a civil penalty of up to 30,000 pounds and a rent repayment order of up to twelve months' rent. Agents are usually the party expected to know.
What does the integration cost?
CRM connectivity is part of Kamma rather than a separately priced integration. What you pay depends on portfolio size and the tier you need. The pricing page carries the current tiers.
