Rising Demands for SaaS-based Property Management Software to Expand Market Penetration

Subscription-based SaaS solutions benefit companies of all sizes. Businesses increasingly use SaaS solutions to optimize operations by automating workflows and removing manual input. Businesses can also lower the cost and complexity of on-premises deployment by installing SaaS solutions. SaaS software assists large multifamily property management organizations integrate several technologies across their portfolio. In addition, the SaaS model is crucial for multi-vendor device compatibility with legacy systems.

For instance, Planon collaborated with AddOnn in March 2021 to combine AddOnn's SaaS solution with Planon's software platform for building and service digitalization to provide end-to-end solutions to end-users worldwide.

Employees in real estate organizations rely on up-to-date information to make vital decisions. SaaS systems allow users to access information from any location and device with internet connectivity. A SaaS platform can help property managers link their property solutions with sophisticated payment services for quick and easy transactions.

Evolving Trends of Workforce Mobility to Strengthen Market Share

Many employees nowadays prefer to work from home rather than in offices, corporate headquarters, or a global company branch. This contributes to the need for flexible access to office resources and data. Besides, organizations are using virtual workplaces to reduce their physical infrastructure requirements to a bare minimum, allowing them to be more flexible and use their office space better. Many businesses seek mobility, workplace, and other integrated facility management solutions. This enables property managers to retain productivity while working with a huge crew. These solutions can be used by associated real estate agents & property managers to maintain track of all the properties they manage and the routine maintenance that needs to be performed on them. As a result, the rising trend of workplace mobility is propelling the property management service industry forward.

For instance, Entrata Inc. reported the integration of Alexa with residential buildings in April 2021. This integration would enable property managers to monitor or set up Alexa-enabled devices in each unit, allowing them to create voice-controlled automated homes.

Market Dynamics of Property Management Service

Integration Complexity and Data Security Concerns to Limit Market Growth

One significant restraint property management software services face is the complexity of integrating with existing systems and databases. Many property management companies already have established tools for accounting, tenant communication, maintenance tracking, and more. Implementing new software solutions can lead to compatibility challenges and difficulties in transferring data seamlessly. Furthermore, as property management software handles sensitive information such as tenant details, financial records, and property documents, ensuring robust data security becomes critical. Any breaches or unauthorized access can lead to legal consequences, financial losses, and company reputation damage.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Property Management Service Market

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the property management service market, introducing shifts in tenant behavior, remote work trends, and economic uncertainties that prompted property managers to adapt their strategies. Lockdowns and travel restrictions decreased demand for short-term rentals, while remote work trends increased the significance of property amenities and flexible leasing options. Property managers incorporated virtual tours, contactless services, and enhanced sanitation measures to address safety concerns. Moreover, the pandemic accelerated the adoption of proptech solutions for remote property monitoring and digital communication, reshap...

The 10 largest mortgage lenders in the United Kingdom accounted for approximately 81 percent of the total market, with the top three alone accounting for 41 percent in 2023. Lloyds Banking Group had the largest market share of gross mortgage lending, with nearly 36.8 billion British pounds in lending in 2023. HSBC, which is the largest UK bank by total assets, ranked fourth. Development of the mortgage market In 2023, the value of outstanding in mortgage lending to individuals amounted to 1.6 trillion British pounds. Although this figure has continuously increased in the past, the UK mortgage market declined dramatically in 2023, registering the lowest value of mortgage lending since 2015. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the market to contract for the first time since 2012. The next two years saw mortgage lending soar due to pent-up demand, but as interest rates soared, the housing market cooled, leading to a decrease in new loans of about 100 billion British pounds. The end of low interest rates In 2021, mortgage rates saw some of their lowest levels since recording began by the Bank of England. For a long time, this was particularly good news for first-time homebuyers and those remortgaging their property. Nevertheless, due to the rising inflation, mortgage rates started to rise in the second half of the year, resulting in the 10-year rate doubling in 2022.

The English Housing Survey (EHS) is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government (MHCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England. The EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures. The information obtained through the survey provides an accurate picture of people living in the dwelling, and their views on housing and their neighbourhoods. The survey is also used to inform the development and monitoring of the Ministry's housing policies. Results from the survey are also used by a wide range of other users including other government departments, local authorities, housing associations, landlords, academics, construction industry professionals, consultants, and the general public.

The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 12,000 households and a follow-up physical inspection. Some further elements are also periodically included in or derived from the EHS: for 2008 and 2009, a desk-based market valuation was conducted of a sub-sample of 8,000 dwellings (including vacant ones), but this was not carried out from 2010 onwards. A periodic follow-up survey of private landlords and agents (the Private Landlords Survey (PLS)) is conducted using information from the EHS interview survey. Fuel Poverty datasets are also available from 2003, created by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

The EHS interview survey sample formed part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) (available from the Archive under GN 33420) from April 2008 to April 2011. During this period the core questions from the IHS formed part of the EHS questionnaire.

End User Licence and Special Licence Versions:
From 2014 data onwards, the End User Licence (EUL) versions of the EHS will only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the new EUL datasets has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. New Special Licence versions of the EHS will be deposited later in the year, which will be of a similar nature to previous EHS EUL datasets and will include derived and raw datasets.

Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK English Housing Survey web pages.

The English Housing Survey, 2010: Housing Stock Data is available for all cases where a physical survey has been completed. For occupied cases the data comprises information from the household interview and from the physical survey. For vacant properties only, data from the physical survey are provided. The data are made available for a two year rolling sample i.e. approximately 16,000 cases together with the appropriate 2-year weights. For example, the EHS Housing Stock results presented here are for ‘2010’, but cover the period April 2009 to March 2011. The Housing Stock dataset should be used for any analysis requiring information relating to the physical characteristics and energy efficiency of the housing stock. Derived datasets provide key analytical variables compiled post-fieldwork including energy efficiency ratings, decent home indicators and equivalised income.

Latest edition information
For the sixth edition (March 2017), a new cavity wall insulation variable wins95x was added to the physical file. This variable was introduced for the latest EHS Headline Report. From the submission of the 2015 EHS, wins95x will replace wins90x; it has been added to EHS physical files from 2007/8 onwards.


Main Topics:

The EHS survey consists of a number of components.

Interview Survey
An interview is first conducted with the householder. The interview topics include: household characteristics, satisfaction with the home and the area, disability and adaptations to the home, work done to the property and income details.

Physical Survey
The interview is followed by a visual inspection of the property, both internally and externally, by a qualified surveyor. Data collected include the number and type of rooms and facilities contained in the property, the condition of a wide range of aspects of the physical structure, details of the heating systems, parking provision, and assessment of neighbourhood quality.

No Market Value Survey was conducted for the 2010 survey.

The English Housing Survey, 2014: Housing Stock Data: Special Licence Access is available for all cases where a physical survey has been completed. For occupied cases the data comprises information from the household interview and from the physical survey. For vacant properties only, data from the physical survey are provided. The Special Licence version includes raw interview and physical datasets and derived data, whereas the EUL version (SN 8010) only includes derived variables. Users are advised to obtain SN 8010 to see whether it is suitable for their needs before making an application for the Special Licence version.

The data are made available for a two-year rolling sample i.e. approximately 12,000 cases together with the appropriate two-year weights. For example, the EHS Housing Stock results presented here are for 2014, but cover the period April 2013 to March 2015. This means that if you use more than one housing stock dataset, you must use either odd or even years. For example, you need to use the Housing Stock Dataset for '2012' and '2014' or '2013' and '2015', but not the dataset for '2014' and '2013' as you would double-count the cases surveyed between April 2013 and March 2014. The Housing Stock dataset should be used for any analysis requiring information relating to the physical characteristics and energy efficiency of the housing stock. Derived datasets provide key analytical variables compiled post-fieldwork including energy efficiency ratings, decent home indicators and equivalised income.

Users who only require data from the household interview should use the English Housing Survey, 2014-2015: Household Data EUL or Special Licence versions (SNs 8009 and 8067 respectively).

Latest Edition Information
For the third edition (March 2017), the physical data file has been updated; cavity wall insulation variables wallinsy and wins90x have been replaced and new cavity wall insulation variable wins95x added.

For the fourth edition (March 2020), the Market Value Survey (MVS) data have been added in a new file MVS_SL.sav. This file contains the additional market value variables (valout, valwith) and grosing factors to be used with these variables (aagpd1314_mvs, aagph1314_mvs). Full details on using MVS data are now provided in the accompanying documentation (8068_mvs_technical_report_2015.pdf, 8068_user_guide_mvs_sl.pdf).

Further information: In compliance with Building Regulations, an increasing proportion of dwellings built in 1991 or after with cavity walls had cavity wall insulation fitted at the time of construction (known as ’as built' insulation), although compliance could also be achieved through other techniques. The non-intrusive survey undertaken in the EHS would not always be able to identify as built insulation (though the surveyor might have found out from the occupant), so dwellings built in 1991 or after with cavity walls with no evidence of insulation in the survey have been assumed to be insulated. The category 'cavity walls with evidence of insulation' includes both dwellings with evidence of cavity wall insulation (e.g. drill holes or information from occupants) and those built in 2003 or after. A separate category identifies cavity walled dwellings built in 1991 or after where no evidence of cavity wall insulation was seen by the surveyors and where no assumptions have been made based on the construction date. This category therefore includes dwellings built in 1991 or after up to and including in 2002, with no evidence of CWI from the physical survey. In the original 2014-15 data the assumption had been changed from ‘2003 or after’ to properties built in ‘1996 or after’ (in alignment with rdSAP assumptions), but to preserve the time series, the EHS team have reverted back to the original assumption, hence the variable replacement. For this year’s Headline Report a new variable for cavity wall insulation was introduced (wins95x – this has been added to EHS physical files from 2007/8 (SN 6612) onwards). From the submission of the 2015 data wins95x will replace wins90x.

London is the most expensive city for office real estate in Europe. In 2023, the per square foot cost of office space in London was higher than in any other European city. In West End, a Grade A office cost about 90 British pounds per square foot in 2023. Prime offices were even more expensive, at 135 British pounds per square meter. Office yields Prime yields in Central London fluctuate depending on the district, but West End areas tend to have lower yields compared to other areas, such as Stratford or Canary Wharf. The prime office yield in Mayfair/St. James' in 2023 was the lowest among the major London office submarkets. In real estate, yields measure the potential return of a rental property and are calculated as the ratio of the property's rental income to the investment cost. Typically, prime office yields in London are lower than the rest of the UK, which is mostly due to the highly competitive market and high investment costs. Vacancy rates Despite the high office rental costs in England’s capital city, vacancy rates in many of London's main office markets were below seven percent in 2023. This is good news for the office sector, as during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the share of vacant office space across all Central London districts spiked dramatically. Compared to other European cities, London was in the middle of the ranking, alongside Frankfurt and Lisbon.

The English Housing Survey, 2011-2012: Household Data comprises the full interview data (plus associated derived variables) for all cases where an interview has been completed. Datasets are provided for single financial years together with annual weights. The survey consists of a detailed interview using a CAPI based program. An interview is first conducted with the householder. For 2011-12 a cost review of the EHS resulted in several changes such as a reduction to the EHS sample size, a reduction in the questionnaire content and the cessation of the desk based market valuation of sub-sampled properties.

This dataset should be used for any analysis where only information from the household interview is required. Users who also require data from the physical survey should use the English Housing Survey, 2011: Housing Stock Data (available from the Archive in September 2013).
