About HomeDash
Built by a landlord, not a boardroom
HomeDash exists because its founder needed it. Paul McGough is a working UK landlord who self-manages his own portfolio of rented properties — and spent years watching certificates, deadlines and paperwork slip through the cracks between spreadsheets, folders, and reminder apps. HomeDash is the system he built to make that stop.

Why it works the way it does
Every feature in HomeDash earns its place by running a real portfolio, every day. The compliance calendar exists because a missed renewal is a real fine. The rent ledger exists because arrears cases are won and lost on records. The document vault exists because “can you produce the certificate?” is a question councils actually ask, with a deadline attached. If a feature doesn't survive contact with a real tenancy, it doesn't ship.
That's also why HomeDash is compliance-first. The 2026–2030 wave of regulation — the Renters' Rights Act, EPC 2030, Making Tax Digital, the coming PRS Database and Ombudsman — is the hardest part of being a self-managing landlord right now. The Renters' Rights Centre, the free tools, and the product itself all point at the same goal: nothing slips, nothing surprises you.
