EstateApp vs HCOMS Property Management System

EstateApp is a web-based property maintenance system for housing associations, bringing property data, condition information, repairs, and maintenance together. It visualizes structural-element condition and updates the building management plan from existing data. Users can organize repair projects, collect project information, and download a repair plan as a PDF. For tenders involving contractors, engineers, and inspectors, the system separates offers and unit prices into comparison tables. Project participants can share files and comments on ongoing work, while a maintenance calendar lets users assign building-level tasks to operators such as maintenance companies. EstateApp records ongoing project details in repair history, which users can update themselves. Listed integrations include Finland’s Housing Company Information System and the Hausvise property management system. The maker offers to digitize association data and says the association owns all its data. A free partner profile is available, and a free trial can be arranged through a demo account after submitting contact details; no trial length is stated. Housing associations cost €29.90 a month. A separate property-management-firm tier has no listed price.

HCOMS Property Management System is a multi-site platform for organizations managing property portfolios beyond spreadsheets. It brings tenancy records, inspections, repairs and compliance into one place, with access on Android, iOS and web. Tenancy records cover the path from advert and allocation through agreement, rent, reviews and exit; the system can send renewal reminders and export finance statements. It tracks eight compliance cycles, including gas, electrical, asbestos, fire, legionella and EPC, with reminders and escalation. Residents can report repairs through a portal, email or phone, and a branded app supports photo reports, emergency flags, status tracking and a help centre. Staff can triage jobs, assign contractors, record photos and sign-off, and report against SLAs. Contractors can schedule work and post on-site status from a phone, with certificates and invoices returned to the office. No-code workflows can chase delayed work and raise planned-maintenance orders. HCOMS describes finance-system links, ArcGIS map overlays, role-aware access and audit trails. It says production data is UK-hosted, with encryption, per-user authentication, optional multi-factor authentication and encrypted backups.
