Awaab's Law for repairs contractors.
If you deliver damp and mould works for housing associations or councils, Awaab's Law is now part of your contract whether it names you or not. The landlord carries the statutory duty — but the evidence that proves it was met is created at the property, by the person who attends. That's you. HousingSurvey Pro lets you capture that evidence to a defensible standard and drop it straight into your client's compliance chain.
Work inside your client's evidence chain
Your organisation is granted scoped access to a landlord's stock. Your operatives capture geo-stamped, tamper-evident records against those properties by UPRN — and each finalized record becomes part of the landlord's chain, visible to their compliance team in real time. No more emailing photos, no more "can you resend the report", no dispute about when the work was done.
Protect your contract and your reputation
- On time — the statutory clock is visible to you too, so you never unknowingly miss a landlord's deadline.
- To standard — structured capture means every job is evidenced the same defensible way.
- Provable — a contemporaneous, tamper-evident record that you attended and what you did, independent of the landlord's system.

Frequently asked questions
We're a repairs contractor, not the landlord — does Awaab's Law affect us?
The statutory duty sits with the landlord, but in practice the evidence is created by whoever attends the property — and that's usually you. If your inspection records aren't contemporaneous and defensible, the association can't demonstrate compliance, which puts your contract and your reputation at risk. Increasingly, associations require their contractors to capture evidence to a defined standard.
How does a contractor work inside a landlord's evidence chain?
Your organisation is granted scoped access to the landlord's properties. Your operatives capture geo-stamped, tamper-evident records against those properties by UPRN, and each finalized record becomes part of the landlord's chain — visible to them in their portal in real time. You demonstrate the work was done, on time, to standard, without emailing photos around.
Do we need a separate subscription per landlord we work for?
No. Your surveyors capture against whichever landlord has granted your organisation access; the evidence lands in the relevant landlord's chain automatically. It's the same field app and the same workflow whether you're on one association's stock or several.
What does this give us that the landlord's portal doesn't?
A contractor-side record that you attended, when, and what you found and did — provably unaltered — so that if a case is scrutinised later, your position is defensible independently of the landlord's system. It's the difference between 'we say we fixed it' and 'here is the contemporaneous, tamper-evident proof'.
