  • File Name
     
  • Task Title

It will show the top 10 results for every item type so in total up to 140 results. If it finds a unique match it will go straight to it.

AUTOMATIC GROUND RENTS

Instead of setting up automatic Ground Rents for each Leaseholder, you can import them across multiple Blocks using a new Agency Import called Ground Rent. You can also import data over old records to amend them. This can be found in Settings/Agency Imports.

Upgrades

 

BLOCK NAME ON THE BANK ACCOUNT

Whenever you are selecting a bank account you will see a Block (and Estate if applicable)  next to it. This will mainly improve Global Reports such as Client Statement, Client Balance and Supplier Statement Report.
