Every managed property generates renewal admin, and the volume only goes one way. For most agencies that work lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and somebody’s memory, and holding it together so nothing slips takes time property managers don’t have.
Never chase a certificate renewal again
Gas safety compliance software for letting agents that runs the full renewal on CP12, EICR, EPC and PAT, from detecting the expiry to filing the verified certificate against the property. Your property managers step in only when a decision is needed.

The reality today
Compliance workloads are growing. Your team hasn't.
Hours lost to manual monitoring
Tracking expiry dates across dozens of properties from a spreadsheet takes time you don't have.
One renewal, three parties, endless chasing
Repeated calls and emails to the supplier, the landlord, and the tenant. None of it recorded.
Compliance documents spread across branches
Every contractor sends something different, and in a multi-branch agency those documents end up in different places.
Missed renewals surface at the worst moment
You rarely find out a certificate has expired on a quiet Tuesday. It surfaces during an inspection or a dispute.
How AutoCert fixes this
The workflow runs automatically. Your team stays in control.
AutoCert runs the renewal end to end inside Alto, using the data and workflows you already have. No new platform, no new login, and nothing for your team to learn.
Expiry detected
Alto's reminder settings trigger AutoCert. No manual monitoring across the portfolio.
Supplier instructed
The right contractor is selected and instructed automatically, with the work order raised inside Alto.
Landlord notified, tenant access arranged
Structured communications go out through Alto. Every exchange is logged.
Certificate validated and uploaded
Documentation is checked, uploaded to the property record, and the date updated automatically.
Invoice scanned, charges raised
Invoices are processed and charges raised inside Alto without manual entry.
Next renewal scheduled
The cycle resets on its own. Every step stays visible inside Alto in real time.
Why AutoCert is different
Reminders tell you work needs to happen. AutoCert does the work.
Alto’s AutoCert runs the full operational workflow from detection to completion, with Alto as the system of record throughout.
Every step logged as it happens
Which contractor was instructed, when the landlord was notified, what the tenant said, which certificate came back.
Open it any time, or leave it alone
See exactly where a renewal has got to, or let it close itself. Your team steps in only on exceptions.
The history is there when you need it
When a landlord asks what happened, or a colleague picks up a property mid-renewal, the record is already in Alto.
Gas safety, EICR, EPC and PAT.
Every certificate your properties need, renewed automatically
Gas safety (CP12)
Annual renewals chased, booked and closed without a spreadsheet in sight.

Powered by Aguru
Aguru automates safety certificate renewals for residential property management. A single renewal runs 15 or more steps across the landlord, the tenant, the technician and the agency, from booking and chasing suppliers through to invoicing, certificate checks and compliance monitoring.
The integration is native, so your data stays in Alto. Every work order, certificate, charge and communication is logged against the property as usual, with nothing to reconcile between systems.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Alto and AutoCert
Compliance workload is increasing because each managed property now carries several certificates, and every one has its own renewal cycle, supplier and access arrangements. The admin grows with the portfolio unless the renewal process is automated.
AutoCert is gas safety compliance software that runs the full CP12 renewal for letting agents, from detecting the expiry date to filing the verified certificate against the property record.
No software can issue a gas safety certificate. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can. What AutoCert automates is everything around it: detecting the expiry, instructing the engineer, arranging tenant access, then validating and filing the certificate that comes back.
Yes. Alto flags upcoming and overdue certificate dates on the property management dashboard, and AutoCert goes further by instructing the renewal rather than only reminding you about it.
Compliance automation reduces landlord liability risk by removing the manual steps where renewals get missed. With AutoCert, every renewal is detected, instructed and logged automatically, so a certificate can’t lapse because someone was on leave or a spreadsheet went stale.
Multi-branch letting agencies manage compliance documents in Alto by holding every certificate against the property record, visible across every branch from one system. The same renewal workflow runs in each branch, with one audit trail behind it.
AutoCert covers gas safety (CP12), EICR, EPC and PAT renewals. Each follows the same workflow: expiry detected, contractor instructed, landlord and tenant coordinated, certificate validated and filed, next renewal scheduled.
Alto’s certificate reminders flag that a renewal is due, and the chasing, booking, filing and charging still sit with your property manager. AutoCert runs all of it and escalates only the exceptions.
