What it means

For the resident

Buying more of your home is a tracked process with a next step, not an exchange of emails.

For your Homeownership team

Valuations, offers and completions run through one workflow instead of a spreadsheet held by one person.

Staircasing without the spreadsheet

Valuation windows tracked

RICS valuations expire, and an expired valuation restarts the process. Validity is tracked so transactions do not stall at the last step.

Equity that stays accurate

Each transaction updates the equity split and the resulting rent, so the tenancy record reflects reality rather than the last time someone reconciled it.

Legal milestones visible

Solicitor instruction, memorandum of staircasing and completion tracked together, so nobody is waiting on someone who is waiting on them.

Rent recalculated automatically

Post-staircasing rent follows from the new equity share, removing the manual recalculation that most often introduces error.

  • RICS valuation instruction and validity tracking
  • Equity share and premium calculation
  • Lease terms and staircasing restrictions

  • Final staircasing and freehold transfer
  • Mortgagee consent and lender liaison
  • Staircasing pipeline and completion reporting

How it works

The path a case takes from the moment it arrives, and what happens automatically at each step.

  1. Enquiry and eligibility

    The enquiry is logged and checked against lease terms, including any restrictions on minimum share or final staircasing.

  2. Valuation instructed

    A RICS valuation is instructed with its validity period tracked, so the transaction cannot quietly expire mid-process.

  3. Legal progress

    Solicitors are instructed and milestones tracked, with both sides visible on one record.

  4. Completion

    Equity, rent and lease records update together on completion, and the memorandum is recorded against the property.

Before and after: staircasing

Every system demonstrates well. What matters is the difference in an ordinary working week — the steps that disappear, the chasing that stops, and the questions your team can answer on the spot instead of promising to look into it.

TodayWith Propsys360
Staircasing is handled in spreadsheets between finance and housing.One case from application to completion, with the record updated as it moves.
Rent is recalculated manually after a share change.Equity, rent and charges are recalculated against the tenancy.
Valuations and legal milestones are tracked separately.Valuation, mortgage and completion dates sit on the case.

What staircasing has to get right

Housing runs on specifics — statutory timescales, tenure types, the return that has to be filed next month. This is the detail that decides whether a system survives contact with your operation, and the reason a general-purpose platform usually cannot.

  • Application and eligibility checks
  • Valuation and share price calculation
  • Equity progression and rent recalculation
  • Mortgage lender and solicitor tracking
  • Exchange and completion milestones
  • Final staircase to full ownership
  • Service charge and ground rent impact
  • Reporting across the shared ownership portfolio

More of the platform

Each part of Propsys360 works from the same tenancy, property and person record, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing drifts out of step. Most providers start with one or two and add the rest as their existing contracts end.

“We realised that we had a gap around the golden thread of data, in terms of the availability and accessibility of the data we held in seventeen different systems… That meant colleagues could immediately see all non-compliant properties.”

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle final staircasing to 100%?

Yes, including freehold transfer where the lease provides for it, and the different treatment houses and flats receive.

What happens if a valuation expires?

Validity is tracked and flagged before expiry, since an expired valuation means re-instruction, additional cost and a frustrated leaseholder.

Does rent update automatically?

Yes. The revised rent follows from the new equity share on completion, which removes the most common source of post-staircasing error.

Can we see the pipeline?

Yes. Enquiries, valuations in progress and pending completions report as a pipeline, with stalled cases visible.

See a staircasing transaction end to end

Thirty minutes from enquiry to completion, including valuation tracking and how rent recalculates on the new equity share.
