Join Us at the Beginning
DMS Smart Monitor is a pre-seed PropTech company developing IoT solutions for UK housing compliance. We have SEIS approval from HMRC and are seeking investment to complete our product and launch paid pilot programmes.
The £8.8 Billion Problem
UK housing providers spent £8.8 billion on repairs and maintenance in 2023-24. Disrepair claims have increased 392% since 2020. Awaab's Law now mandates strict deadlines that most landlords cannot currently meet.
Awaab's Law
New regulations require 24-hour response to emergency hazards and strict timelines for investigations and repairs.
392% Claim Increase
Housing disrepair claims against councils rose dramatically. "No win, no fee" solicitors actively targeting landlords.
£2.54 Billion
Spent by just 40 councils defending claims over 5 years. Reactive maintenance is unsustainable.
Smart Monitoring for Smart Landlords
DMS provides simple, wireless sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and air quality in rental properties. Our system alerts landlords to problems before they become expensive repairs.
Patent applications will be filed for our hardware design and monitoring algorithms.
