It’s been a busy month behind the scenes at PaTMa, so this month’s update is a little shorter than usual. We’ve been putting a lot of work into our new Xero integration, alongside improvements to performance, speed and some of our existing features.

PaTMa and Xero
We’re excited to say that you can now link PaTMa with Xero.
There are a few steps involved in getting everything set up, so we’ve put together a dedicated video guide to walk you through the process.
Smaller improvements across PaTMa
While Xero has been the main focus, we’ve also been working on a number of smaller improvements across PaTMa.
We’ve continued to improve performance and speed across our products, refreshed our API documentation, and made some improvements to price history in the Browser Extension, making the most recent sold price much clearer.
We’ve also updated the menus in the Rent tab, making it easier to find the different options available, including recording existing rent changes, changing rent days and entering bulk historic payments.
A better way to manage rent reviews
We’ve also continued to build on the new Rent Review process introduced following the recent Renters’ Rights changes.
You can use PaTMa to review the market rent for a property, view comparable listings from Deal Finder and save up to five properties as evidence to support your proposed rent.
There’s also the option to have an informal discussion with your tenant before issuing a formal Section 13 notice. When you’re ready, PaTMa can generate the formal notice for you, with the option for it to be signed by either the landlord or, where appropriate, the managing agent.
There’s plenty more happening behind the scenes, and we’ll have more to share in future updates. For now, we hope these improvements make managing your properties a little easier.
