How do I view a property record?

Open a property from the list to see its summary header, sales pipeline tracker, and the Overview, Matching, Viewings, Offers, Progression, and Contact log tabs.

Opening a property record

From the Properties list, select any row to open that property's record. The record opens on the Overview tab and shows a summary of the property across the top, with tabbed sections beneath it.

To return to the list, select All properties at the top of the record.

The summary header

The header at the top of the record gives you the key facts about the property at a glance:

  • Photo - the property's featured image, or a placeholder tile when no image has been set, with a caption showing the photo and floor plan counts and a badge showing the total image count. Select it to open the media library - see "How do I view and reorder a property's photos and floor plans?".

  • Address - the building name or number and street shown as the title, with the town or area, postcode, and property reference beneath it.

  • Price - for a sales property, the marketing price is shown on the right, along with the agency type and fee where recorded (for example, Marketing price · Sole Agency 1.25% fee + VAT, or Marketing price · Sole Agency £10 fee for a fixed amount). If an agreement expiry date is recorded, it is added to the end of that line (for example Marketing price · Sole Agency £1,750 fee · Agreement expires on 6 Aug 2026). For a lettings property, the rent is shown instead, with its billing period on the figure itself (for example £2,150 pcm, £495 pw, or £26,000 pa) and just Rent underneath. If the recorded billing period isn't one Lighthouse recognises, the amount is shown on its own rather than guessing a period.

  • Status badges - the marketing mode and the current selling or letting status, shown as colour-coded badges.

  • Vendor/Landlord - the primary vendor (for a sales property) or landlord (for a letting), with a phone number or email shown beneath their name. If there's more than one owner, only the first is shown here - see "Ownership" below for the full list. On a letting, selecting the landlord's name opens their landlord record, where you can see every party who owns the property and the rest of their portfolio. A vendor's name isn't a link, because a sales vendor has no record page yet.

  • Agent - the negotiator assigned to the property. Hover over the name for their job title and contact details.

  • Next call - when a follow-up call is scheduled, a badge shows the next call date.

  • AI briefing - where the feature is switched on for your organisation, a one-line briefing sits at the bottom of the header, on every tab. See "AI briefing" below.

Select the pencil icon next to the address to edit the property's address, marketing price (or rent for a letting), sale or letting status, office, and negotiator. Changing a sales property's status to For sale (unavailable) (the Instructed stage of the pipeline tracker) records today as its Date instructed, unless a date is already set - see "Market appraisal" below to change it.

For a sales property, this sheet also carries how the sale is being run, plus the marketing fee and agency instruction:

  • Method of sale records how the property is being sold - Private treaty, Auction, Modern method of auction, Tender, Offers invited, Confidential, or Shared ownership.

  • Price qualifier adds context to the marketing price - for example Asking price, Guide price, Fixed price, Offers over, Offers in excess, Offers in region, Price on application, or Price reduced to.

  • Fee type and Fee amount record the fee agreed with the vendor - a percentage of the sale price or a fixed amount, chosen from the Fee type field next to it. Picking Percentage adds a % to the amount field; a percentage fee must be under 100. A VAT included switch beneath records whether that fee is VAT-inclusive - this is what drives the "+ VAT" shown next to the fee in the header (see "The summary header" above).

  • Agency type records the instruction type (for example Sole Agency, Sole Selling Rights, Multiple Agency, or Joint Sole Agency, each with a fee-available variant).

  • Agency agreement expiry records the date the agency agreement with the vendor runs out. Pick a day from the calendar, or type it into the box at the top (for example 06/08/2026). The field is optional; to remove a date, delete it from the box at the top of the calendar, or select the chosen day again. Once saved, the date shows in the header next to the agency type and fee (see "The summary header" above).

  • Choosing Joint Sole Agency (or its fee-available variant) reveals a Joint agent companies field so you can search for and select one or more other agencies named on the instruction; picking any other agency type clears them.

  • Choosing the fee-available variant of Joint Sole Agency also reveals the joint agents' own fee split, alongside a Fee split type field (percentage or fixed amount, same choice as the main fee above):

    • As a percentage, a Fee split choice of common ratios - Seller only, 50 : 50, 60 : 40, 2/3 : 1/3, or Custom - fills in the joint agent's percentage for you; only Custom lets you type it directly. Seller only is the default until you choose otherwise.

    • As a fixed amount, a Joint agent's fixed fee field takes the flat amount instead.

Select Cancel to close the sheet without saving - any unsaved edits are discarded.

To change the address, type a postcode or address into the search field - once you've typed at least three characters, matching addresses appear in a dropdown on the field itself, which you can move through with the arrow keys and choose with Enter. Selecting a result that resolves to a single address fills in every address field automatically; selecting a broader result (for example a street covering several buildings) keeps the dropdown open and narrows the list, so you can drill down to the exact address. The number of matches is shown at the foot of the list. If the search doesn't find what you need, or you'd rather type it in yourself, select Enter address manually to fill in the building name/number, address lines, town, county, postcode and country by hand; select Look up address instead to switch back to searching. Address line 1 is required - you won't be able to save the change until it's filled in.

Maps of a property (on the property card and in the Diary) are drawn from the location saved on the property, so a property without one shows its photo or no map. Saving a changed address also updates where the property sits on the map, and which of your areas it belongs to. Nothing is asked of you: when you pick an address from the search, its exact location is taken from the lookup; when you type one in by hand, the postcode is used instead, which places the property at the centre of that postcode rather than on the building. Lighthouse then checks that location against your areas and, if the property doesn't have one yet, records the most specific area that covers it. A property that already has an area keeps it, so an area you've set deliberately is never overwritten - clear it in Reapit if you want it worked out again.

Your areas are what area-based reporting and applicant matching use, so a property with none is missing from both. Saving any change to a property is enough to fill in a blank area, not just an address change. If the property has no location on record and its address can't be located, its area is left blank and the rest of your changes still save as normal.

The price/rent field shows the £ symbol as you type and formats the amount with thousands separators once you move off the field; a sale price only accepts whole pounds, while rent accepts pence too.

The status list is ordered by where each status sits in the property's journey rather than alphabetically, so the statuses you're most likely to move to next sit closest to the current one. A sales property runs from Pre-appraisal and Valuation through For sale, Under offer, Exchanged and Completed, ending with Sold externally and Withdrawn. A letting runs from Valuation and To let through Under offer, Arranging tenancy, Tenancy current and Tenancy finished, ending with Let by other agent, Let privately, Sold and Withdrawn. Where a status has an unavailable variant, it's listed immediately before the status it belongs to, named the same way with "(unavailable)" added - for example For sale (unavailable).

Lighthouse has no separate "sold subject to contract" status. Under offer is what an accepted offer moves the property to: accepting an offer on a For sale property sets it automatically, and you can still change it by hand on this screen.

AI briefing

Where the feature is switched on for your organisation, the header ends with a one-line AI briefing: a short summary of where the property stands, so you're up to speed before you pick up the phone. It stays in the header as you move between tabs.

The line leads with anything that needs your attention (a watch-out, such as an agency agreement about to expire), then demand (for example the highest offer against the asking price), then the next contact. A long line is cut short with an ellipsis; on a phone it gets a row of its own.

Watch-outs aren't written by the AI. They're worked out from the record itself, so the same property always produces the same wording, and the most pressing one leads the line. Lighthouse checks for these, in this order:

  1. An expired gas safety certificate - for example Gas safety certificate expired on 14 Oct 2026, 19 days ago.

  2. An expired electrical safety report (EICR) - Electrical safety report (EICR) expired on 14 Oct 2026, 19 days ago.

  3. A gas safety certificate due to expire soon - Gas safety certificate expires on 14 Oct 2026, in 19 days.

  4. An expired agency agreement - Agency agreement expired on 14 Oct 2026, 19 days ago.

  5. An agency agreement due to expire soon - Agency agreement expires on 14 Oct 2026, in 19 days.

  6. An agreed sale that has stopped moving - No movement on the agreed sale since 14 Oct 2026, 19 days ago.

  7. No viewings in the diary for the next week - No viewings booked in the next 7 days; nothing since 14 Oct 2026.

The certificate checks apply to lettings properties only. At most three watch-outs are shown at once, so a property tripping several still reads as one short list. Any beyond the first three are counted on a final +N more line (for example +2 more), so you know there are others to check on the record. A property with none simply has no Watch-outs group.

  • Show briefing opens the full briefing in place, grouped under Watch-outs, Status & instruction, Marketing performance and Activity & contact. Select Hide to close it again.

  • Hover over a statement to see the exact figures from the record it's based on.

  • Beneath the statements you'll see when the briefing was written (for example Generated 2 minutes ago from this record) and a reminder that it's advisory: always check a figure on the record itself before quoting it to a client. Select Regenerate to write a fresh one.

  • Use the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to tell us whether a briefing was helpful. You can rate each briefing once, and your rating helps us improve future briefings.

  • The briefing doesn't rewrite itself when the record changes. If something changes after it was written - a new offer, a price change, a logged call - the line fades and a Record changed badge appears, with Regenerate beside it.

  • Occasionally the summary is put together from the record's data without the AI, in which case it's labelled Record summary rather than AI briefing. A record summary has no rating buttons and no Regenerate, as the AI didn't write it.

  • While the AI is writing the briefing, any watch-out is shown straight away, ahead of a grey placeholder for the rest of the line.

  • If the AI can't write a briefing, the watch-outs stay on screen as a Record summary, with AI briefing unavailable and a Try again button beside them. With no watch-outs to show, the line reads Briefing unavailable right now. The record is unaffected. with a Try again button.

  • If the watch-outs themselves can't be checked, the Watch-outs group says Watch-outs couldn't be checked right now. rather than looking clear.

  • A briefing needs something to go on. Until the property has an instruction date plus at least one viewing, offer or contact note, no AI briefing is written. If the property has watch-outs, they're still shown, labelled Record summary; otherwise no line is shown at all.

The briefing is written only from what's already on the record - the listing, its offers, its viewings and viewing feedback, and its latest contact log entries. Contacts' names, email addresses and phone numbers aren't sent to write it, although viewing feedback and contact log notes are included as they were typed.

Sales pipeline tracker

For sales properties, a pipeline tracker beneath the header shows where the property sits in the selling journey. The stages are:

  1. Appraisal

  2. Instructed

  3. For Sale

  4. Sold STC

  5. Exchanged

  6. Completed

The tracker highlights the property's current stage so you can see how far it has progressed. Lettings properties do not show a pipeline tracker.

You can select any stage in the tracker to preview it without changing the property's actual progress. For example, selecting Appraisal brings back the Market appraisal card on the Overview tab even after the property has moved on to a later stage (see "Overview tab" below). The stage the tracker highlights as current always reflects the property's real progress - selecting a different stage only changes what's shown further down the page, not the property's status.

Record tabs

The property record is organised into tabs. Select a tab to move between sections:

  • Overview - key facts, ownership, market appraisal, the pre-listing checklist, and the latest logged contact.

  • Marketing - the property's marketing description, key features, and internet advertising setting. See "How do I edit a property's marketing details?" for the full walkthrough.

  • Matching - applicants matched against this property.

  • Viewings - upcoming and past viewings of the property, which you can open to reschedule or cancel. See "How do I see, reschedule or cancel an applicant's or property's viewings?" for details.

  • Offers - offers made on this property, with summary figures, a list, and a detail panel for accepting, increasing, rejecting, or withdrawing an offer. See "How do I record and manage an offer on a property?" for the full walkthrough.

  • Progression - shows the sale in three stages. Sale progression tells you whether the sale is part of a chain, and how many properties are in it, then opens the sale's chain view, showing every linked transaction in the chain and how it forks. See "How do I view the sale chain?" for details. Exchange and Completion show whether each has happened and what was recorded. See "How do I track a sale's exchange and completion?" for details.

  • Keys - the key sets your office holds for the property, with hand-over/return actions, history, and notes for each. See "How do I manage a property's keys?" for the full walkthrough.

  • Contact log - calls, emails, and notes logged against the property.

  • Documents - files and documents attached to the property.

  • Compliance: the property's legal safety certificates and whether each one is in date. Only shown for properties that are let, since these are landlord obligations. See "How do I check a property's safety certificates?" for the full walkthrough.

  • Maintenance: the property's open and closed maintenance jobs, with each job's status, priority and age. Only shown for properties that are let, like Compliance. Jobs can be logged and updated from here. See "How do I manage a property's maintenance jobs?" for the full walkthrough.

The Marketing, Offers, Compliance, and Maintenance tabs are available now. The remaining sections above are being rolled out: where a tab's content is not yet available, it shows a short "coming soon" message describing what will appear there.

Overview tab

The Overview tab shows up to five cards:

  • Key facts - property type, style, age, locality, special features, bedrooms, bathrooms, receptions, parking spaces, internal and external area, EPC rating, council tax band, tenure (with ground rent and service charge for a leasehold or share of freehold) or letting term, decoration or furnishing, floor level, internal and total floor counts, parking provision, outdoor space, who's currently occupying the property, viewing arrangements, a list of rooms with their dimensions, and free-text notes. Select the pencil icon on the card to edit these, and Cancel to close the sheet without saving - any unsaved edits are discarded. Every field on this sheet is optional, so you can save with only some of a property's key facts known and come back to fill in the rest later - the only exception is rooms: once you've added a room row, its own name, description, and width/length become required before you can save. A row is only shown on the card if the property actually has a value recorded for it - it doesn't show as blank, it simply isn't there, regardless of whether your organisation's department supports that field; ground rent, service charge (and their comments), and viewing arrangements are recorded here but don't get a row of their own on the card at all - open the sheet to see them. If nothing at all has been recorded yet, the card reads No key facts recorded yet.

    • The card shows a headline strip of bedrooms, bathrooms, receptions, parking spaces, and internal area (whichever are recorded), followed by the most essential facts - type/style, age, locality, special features, EPC rating, council tax, and tenure or term. Everything else - external area, decoration or furnishing, floor level, internal and total floors, parking provision, outdoor space, rooms, and notes - sits behind a Show N more toggle beneath those, so the card only opens out to the full set of facts when you ask it to.

    • Notes - a free-text field for anything about the property that isn't captured by the other key facts fields - access instructions, a quirk worth flagging, or anything else worth recording against the property itself. It's a single field stored directly on the property record, edited from the same edit sheet as the rest of Key facts, and only shown (behind Show more) once something has been typed into it.

    • Property type, Style, Age, and Locality are each a single-select list of the options your organisation's department supports (for example house, bungalow, or flat/apartment for type; Victorian or detached for style; period or modern for age; town/city or village for locality) - unless the property already has two or more existing values recorded for one of them, in which case that field switches to a multi-select instead, so none of the existing values are lost.

    • Special features, Parking provision, and Outdoor space are each a multi-select list, with options coming from your department (for example Garden, Off-street parking for special features) - this is separate from the marketing bullet points on the Marketing tab, see "How do I edit a property's marketing details?"

    • Internal area is measured in square feet or square metres and external area in acres or hectares, each with its own unit picker. On the card, square feet and square metres are shown abbreviated (for example 80-95 sq ft); acres and hectares are shown in full.

    • Council tax is a single-select band: Band A to Band I, Not specified, or Not yet available for a property that has not been banded yet, such as a new build. The card shows the band using the same wording as the picker; the row doesn't appear at all while no band is recorded.

    • Tenure is only shown and editable for sales properties - choose Freehold, Leasehold, Share of freehold, Commonhold, or To be confirmed; picking Leasehold or Share of freehold can carry a lease expiry date, a ground rent type (Confirmed, Not applicable, Peppercorn, or To be confirmed), a ground rent amount, and a service charge amount, each with its own optional free-text comment. The ground rent and service charge fields show the £ symbol as you type and format the amount with thousands separators once you move off the field. The card itself shows only the tenure and, for a leasehold or share of freehold with one recorded, its lease expiry (for example Leasehold (expires 31st December 2099)) - the ground rent, service charge, and their comments are edit-sheet only.

    • For a letting, a Term field replaces Tenure - choose Any, Long, or Short.

    • Decoration (sales) or Furnishing (lettings) is a single-select field describing the property's condition - Unmodernised, Fair, Good, or Very good for a sale; Furnished, Part-furnished, or Unfurnished for a letting - and switches to a multi-select, same as type/style/age/locality above, once the property already has two or more existing values recorded.

    • Floor level, Internal floors, and Total floors are separate numeric fields, each shown only when your organisation's department supports it.

    • Occupancy records who's currently at the property - Owner occupied, Rented, Vacant, Other, or left as Not specified - alongside a free-text Occupancy details field for anything the attending agent needs to know, such as tenant details or access arrangements. Occupancy details only appears once Rented or Other is chosen - there's nothing to describe for an owner-occupied or vacant property - and even then it's never required. The card's Current situation row combines the two, for example Rented - Tenant in place, 24 hours' notice needed. Viewing arrangements is a separate free-text field for any viewing-specific instructions, for example accompanied viewings only after a certain time - it's recorded here but has no row of its own on the card.

    • For rooms, add a name, a description, and a width/length for each one; a single unit picker for the whole list switches every room between metres (entered as a plain number, for example 4.5) and feet (entered directly as feet and inches, for example 10'6"). The list itself can stay empty, but once a room is added its name, description, and width/length all become required before you can save.

    EPC rating is shown as the score and energy band together (for example Band 72 (C)), Exempt from EPC if the property has been marked exempt, or Not provided if neither is recorded yet. If the recorded EPC's Valid until date has passed, an Expired badge appears alongside it - on both the read-only Key facts card and the EPC row of the edit sheet - unless the property is marked exempt. It isn't edited alongside the other key facts - instead, an Add (or Edit, once a rating is recorded or the property is marked exempt) button opens a separate Energy performance certificate drawer. This drawer can also be opened directly from the EPC row of the Pre-Listing Checklist card (see below), without going through Key facts first:

    • A status indicator at the top of the drawer shows No rating recorded, Rating recorded, or Exempt from EPC.

    • A This property is exempt from needing an EPC checkbox marks the property as exempt - some properties (for example listed buildings) don't legally need one. While it's checked, a warning explains that the Pre-Listing Checklist won't require a rating, and the current energy efficiency score, certificate reference, and date of certificate issue below no longer need to be filled in (or, for the score, be in range) - an optional Reason for exemption text field also appears to note why.

    • Select Retrieve certificate to search the national EPC register using the property's postcode. If exactly one certificate is found, its current and potential scores fill in automatically, along with the property's UPRN, the certificate reference, and its date of issue (see "Certificate details" below) - retrieving overwrites the UPRN even if one was already recorded. If more than one is found (the register can return every certificate registered for that postcode), pick the correct address from the list shown before it's applied.

    • You can also type the current and potential scores directly. The current energy efficiency score is required unless the property is exempt - saving is blocked without it. All four scores (current and potential energy efficiency, current and potential environmental impact) must be a whole number from 1 to 100 if entered, and the energy band (A-G) and the A-G chart update as you type, without needing to retrieve anything from the register.

    • A separate Environmental impact rating section holds the property's current and potential CO2 scores, on the same 1-100 scale, with the matching energy band shown as you type - but this section has no A-G chart, and neither of its scores is required.

    • A Certificate details section shows the property's UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number), the Certificate reference, and Date of certificate issue. The certificate reference and date of certificate issue are each required unless the property is exempt, the same as the current energy efficiency score above; UPRN is always optional, so a record can be saved without one. UPRN, the certificate reference, and the date of certificate issue are all filled in automatically once a certificate is retrieved from the register, but remain editable by hand for a certificate that isn't on the register (or to correct the UPRN); a UPRN, if given, must be a number of up to 12 digits, and saving it updates the property's address record, not the certificate itself. Clearing the UPRN and saving removes it from the address record. The certificate reference only needs digits typed in - the hyphens that split it into groups of four are added automatically as you type. The date of certificate issue starts empty if none has been saved; it's set either by retrieving a certificate or by picking a date by hand. Valid until is calculated automatically as ten years (minus a day) after the date of certificate issue - the standard UK EPC validity period - and shows Not provided until an issue date is set. First page document URL and Full document URL fields hold links to the certificate's pages on the register - filled in automatically when a certificate is retrieved, but also editable by hand.

    • Select Save ratings to save your changes back to the property, or Cancel to close the drawer without saving.

  • Ownership - the owner(s) recorded against the property (the vendor for a sale, or the landlord for a letting), each with a role badge (Main owner for the primary contact) and a contact channel. Select the pencil icon to add or remove owners: search for a contact by name and select Add. The search stays open afterwards, so you can add several people from the same search one after another - a contact you've just added shows as Already an owner rather than disappearing from the list. Select the trash icon next to an existing owner to remove them (you can't remove the only remaining owner). If no owner is recorded yet, the card shows a No owner recorded yet empty state with an Add owner button that opens the same search.

  • Market appraisal - only shown while Appraisal is the stage selected in the pipeline tracker above (see "Sales pipeline tracker"). The header always carries an edit pencil - hover it for a Edit details or add notes tooltip - except once the appraisal has been attended and its outcome isn't fully recorded yet, when it's replaced by the prominent Record appraisal outcome button described below. What the card body shows depends on the booked appointment's attendance status:

    • Not booked at all - a warning that the market appraisal hasn't been scheduled, with a Book market appraisal button inside it. It opens today's Diary with the add form already filled in: a market appraisal at this property, at the next half hour, with the seller as the attendee, booked to the vendor's negotiator (or the property's, if the vendor has none). The Diary shows everyone in the property's office, so you can see who is free. Change the time or the negotiator if you need to, and select Add. The edit pencil opens the same details sheet as below, but every field in it stays optional at this stage.

    • Booked, but attendance not yet recorded - no warning. The card shows a Market appraisal booked banner with the appointment's date and time - select it to open the full appointment details panel in a sheet, where you can reschedule, change participants, or cancel it (see How do I view, change or cancel an appointment?). Beneath the banner, a Negotiators section lists every negotiator assigned to the appointment - each shown with their name and avatar, or Not provided if none are assigned.

    • Marked as a no-show (in the appointment's Diary follow-up) - a warning that the market appraisal didn't take place, with a Reschedule market appraisal button inside it, which books a new one in the Diary the same way.

    • Marked as attended - a green Market appraisal attended banner showing the appointment's date and time, replacing the warning. A Market appraisal outcome section - with the Valuation Price, Vendor Estimate Price, the proposed fee (as a percentage or fixed amount, with whether VAT is included), and pricing strategy and appraisal notes - only appears once every one of those fields has actually been filled in; until then, any pricing strategy or appraisal notes already saved show in their own Notes section instead. A Record appraisal outcome button replaces the edit pencil and opens the same sheet, but now every outcome field is required (marked with *) before it can be saved. A Negotiators section, same as the booked state above, lists everyone assigned. Once the outcome has been fully recorded, and while the property's status is still Pre-appraisal, Valuation, or Paid valuation, the card also shows a Set as instructed button - selecting it moves the property into the Instructed stage of the sales pipeline tracker and records today as the Date instructed, unless a date is already set. It stays hidden until the outcome is complete, and once the property has moved on to For sale or a later stage, this button is no longer shown.

    Once a Date instructed is recorded, it shows on the card in the attended state. The edit pencil's sheet always has a Date instructed field, whatever stage the property is at, so you can set or correct it at any time - pick a day from the calendar, or type it into the box at the top. If it was set by mistake, delete it from the box and save.

    Whichever phase the appraisal is in, any pricing strategy or appraisal notes already saved (added via the edit pencil) show in their own Notes section on the card as soon as either one has content, rather than waiting for the full outcome to be recorded.

    Appraisal history - once the property has two or more market appraisal appointments, an Appraisal history section appears at the bottom of the card, with the number of appraisals on the right (for example "3 appraisals"). It lists every appraisal, newest first, cancelled ones included, each with its date and time, the negotiator, and an outcome: Booked (not yet marked as attended or a no-show), Attended, No-show or Cancelled. For example, a no-show that was rebooked shows the new Booked appointment at the top and the no-show kept below it. Select a row to open that appointment in the same sheet the Market appraisal booked banner opens. The first five appraisals show; if there are more, select Show all to see the rest. The valuation, fee and notes are recorded once for the property, in the Market appraisal outcome section above, rather than per appraisal. With only one appraisal, the section is not shown, because the banner already shows it.

    Attendance itself is set on the Diary's Follow-up tab for that appointment (reachable from the Diary/Tasks calendar, or from the Market appraisal booked banner above), not from this card. The appointment panel offers the same outcome sheet too - Record appraisal outcome once it's been marked attended, Edit market appraisal before then - so the write-up can be done from the Diary without coming back here. Once the property moves past the appraisal stage, this card is hidden - select Appraisal in the tracker to bring it back.

  • Pre-Listing Checklist - the fields to fill in before a property goes live. For a sales property this card only appears once the property reaches the Instructed stage in the pipeline tracker above; for a letting it is always shown, since lettings don't have a pipeline tracker yet. Each row is either Complete or Missing, and no row repeats a value already shown elsewhere on the page (for example the EPC band or tenure type, both already visible on the Key facts card) - a row only ever says whether it's done, not what was recorded. The tracked rows are Property address, Tenure type (sales only), Owner recorded, Key facts, Valuation, pricing & fee (or Valuation, rent & fee for a letting), Marketing content, and EPC rating, plus the pre-instruction checks your organisation has configured for the property - typically money laundering/ID checks, T&Cs signed, proof of ownership/title, and compliance being completed, plus, for lettings, licence and comparable rental evidence. The Marketing content row covers the description, long description, key features and the room details approval flag together, so it stays Missing until all four are in place. Selecting Complete next to a missing row opens the relevant edit sheet - or, for marketing content, takes you to the Marketing tab; for EPC rating, it opens the Energy performance certificate drawer directly rather than the Key facts sheet - see "How do I retrieve and record a property's EPC rating?" for the full walkthrough.

    The pre-instruction checks each show a status button reading Needed, Arranged, Completed, or Not Needed - select it to change the status from a dropdown. The button briefly shows a loading state while the change saves, then confirms with a message. A check counts towards the card as complete once it reads Completed or Not Needed; Needed and Arranged still count as outstanding. Money laundering/ID checks are tracked per owner rather than once for the whole property - select the row to expand it and see, and change, each owner's own status, alongside a running count of how many owners are done. On a sales property, the T&Cs signed check works differently: expanding it opens a signing panel that sends your Terms of Business to every vendor for electronic signature, and the row shows a count such as 1 of 2 signed while it is out. See "Signing the Terms of Business".

    The Proof of ownership/title and Comparable rental evidence rows also carry a paperclip button for attaching the evidence itself - a title deed, or a set of comparable rents, for example. Choosing it opens the same upload dialog used elsewhere in Lighthouse, naming the check at the top, with a Mark this check complete checkbox so filing the document and closing the check can be one action. Its state follows the check's current status: pre-ticked for a check that's Needed or Arranged, offered but left unticked for one already marked Not Needed or with no status recorded yet (so filing a document never quietly reverses a "not needed" ruling), and not offered at all once the check already reads Completed, since there's nothing left to close - untick it in any case where the file isn't the finished article. Once something is filed, a count appears beside the paperclip - select it to list those documents underneath the row, each with the same download and remove buttons as elsewhere in Lighthouse. Removing a document never changes the check's status by itself. If the attached documents themselves can't be loaded, a separate banner reads "Some attached documents could not be loaded. Please refresh to try again." - select Refresh now to retry; the checks' own statuses are unaffected, since only their attached evidence is missing.

    A badge in the card header reads Completed once every row is complete, or shows a running count (for example 5/7 complete) until then. If the pre-instruction checks can't be loaded, the badge and the "ready to publish" message are replaced with a banner reading "Some checks could not be loaded. Please refresh to try again." - select Refresh now on the banner to retry. The rest of the checklist (address, ownership, key facts, and so on) still shows as normal, since only the pre-instruction checks are affected; the card is deliberately never marked Completed while they're unreadable, even if every other row is done.

  • Latest Contact - the most recent contact log entries (up to three), each showing its type (call, email, letter, message, or offer note), a short preview, who logged it, and when. Select View log to open the full Contact log tab. This card only appears once there's something to show - if nothing has been logged against the property yet, it's left out of the overview entirely rather than showing an empty state.

If a property won't open

If a record shows Property not found, the property may have been removed or you may not have access to it. If it shows Couldn't load this property, wait a moment and try again.

Properties marketed as both selling and letting

A property whose marketing mode is set to both selling and letting cannot be opened as a record. Instead of the usual summary and tabs, it shows the property's address followed by is marked as both selling and letting, with a Back to all properties button.

This is a deliberate limit: a record here holds one marketing mode, so the sale and the let are kept as two separate properties - one marketed for sale, one marketed to let. To work with such a property, create the second record and set each one to a single marketing mode. The property still appears in the Properties list under both the For sale and To let filters, so opening it from either place shows this same message.

Changing an existing property's marketing mode is done in AgencyCloud, not here.

If you still can't open a property you expect to see, use Contact us in the Help centre menu, inside the profile menu.
