RunYourBlock

Features

Everything a volunteer board needs, by job

RunYourBlock is in development. Here's what we're building, grouped by the jobs directors actually do. 31 of the 32 features below are built for launch; the rest are planned, and labelled that way until they ship.
At launch
Built and being tested now; included when RunYourBlock opens.
Coming later
On the plan, not built yet. We'll update this page when it ships.

Take over

Get set up from the acquisition date, with every deadline in front of you.

  • Set up your company, building and flats

    At launch

    Record the company, the building, every flat, who owns it and each flat's share of the costs, with a check that the shares add up to 100%.

  • Takeover checklist

    At launch

    Enter your acquisition date and get a dated list of what to ask for and do: information and funds from the old manager, contracts, insurance, fire safety records, keys, and telling leaseholders where to pay.

    Included in the free plan

  • A to-do list, not a dashboard

    At launch

    Home shows what needs doing, by when and why it matters, for each director and each leaseholder.

  • Document vault

    At launch

    Leases, insurance schedules, certificates and letters in one place, stored so they can't be quietly changed.

    Included in the free plan

  • Import from a spreadsheet

    Coming later

    Bring flats, people and balances across from the spreadsheet you inherited.

Money

Budgets, bills to leaseholders and the bank, done the way the law expects.

  • Budgets

    At launch

    Build the year's budget by heading and split it between flats using the shares in each lease.

  • Bills to leaseholders (service-charge demands)

    At launch

    Demands that carry the information the law requires, with the summary of tenants' rights and your company's name and address.

  • “Why is my charge this much?”

    At launch

    Every leaseholder can see how their bill was worked out: the budget heading, their share and the lease clause behind it.

  • Bank statement import

    At launch

    Upload your bank statement and match payments to flats and invoices.

  • Arrears, step by step

    At launch

    Polite reminders first, then the pre-action steps, with the right waiting periods built in.

  • Year-end pack for your accountant

    At launch

    The figures, bank records and invoices your accountant asks for, in one download.

Compliance & safety

Fire safety, insurance and checks, with reminders before anything lapses.

  • Compliance register

    At launch

    Fire risk assessment, electrical and other safety checks, insurance and licences, each with its renewal date.

    Included in the free plan

  • Deadline calendar with a private feed

    At launch

    Every dated deadline in one calendar, with a private link that adds it to your phone's calendar.

  • Reminders before things fall due

    At launch

    Email reminders ahead of renewals and statutory deadlines, sent once, never missed.

  • Buildings insurance

    At launch

    Renewal dates, the schedule and answering leaseholders' requests for the insurance summary.

Company & meetings

Run the company properly: directors, members, notices and a record of every decision.

  • Two-step sign-in for directors

    At launch

    Passwordless sign-in by email, plus a code from an authenticator app for every director.

  • The right access for each role

    At launch

    Directors, members, leaseholders, tenants and your accountant each see only what they should.

  • Tamper-evident audit trail

    At launch

    Every change is recorded with who made it and when, in a chain that shows if anything was altered.

  • Notices served the valid way

    At launch

    Records who has agreed to receive company notices by email, and everyone's address for service. Lease notices go on paper unless the lease allows email.

  • AGMs and members' meetings

    At launch

    Notices with the right amount of warning, agendas, attendance and minutes.

  • Resolutions and votes

    At launch

    Board decisions and written resolutions, recorded with the votes cast.

  • Companies House deadlines

    At launch

    Confirmation statements, accounts and director changes, tracked to their due dates.

  • Your own letters, merged for each flat

    At launch

    Write a letter once and send it to the leaseholders you choose, each addressed to them by name at their own address, with every version kept.

  • Search the whole block

    At launch

    Find a flat, a person, a repair, a document, a bill or a meeting from any screen, showing only what you're allowed to see.

  • Download any table

    At launch

    Every list in the app downloads as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel), with just what's on your screen.

Repairs

From a reported leak to major works, with the lease saying who pays.

  • Report a repair

    At launch

    Leaseholders and tenants report problems with photos; directors see them in one list.

  • Who's responsible?

    At launch

    Each repair is checked against the lease: the company's job, or the flat owner's.

  • Major works and Section 20

    At launch

    The consultation stages, notices and waiting periods for major works and long-term contracts.

Residents

Everyone sees what's theirs: their flat, their lease, their actions.

  • Leaseholder directory

    At launch

    Every flat's owners, occupiers and contact details, with each person's address for service.

    Included in the free plan

  • Lease library with sources

    At launch

    Each lease's key terms with the clause and page they come from, and a check that shows where flats' leases differ.

  • Noticeboard

    At launch

    News and notices for everyone in the block, without a WhatsApp group.

    Included in the free plan

  • Statements for every leaseholder

    At launch

    What's been billed, what's been paid and what's due, for each flat.
