Your properties run on WhatsApp. Excel. Rent books.
  • Rent arrives with no referenceEveryone pays into one paybill and someone spends days working out who paid for which unit.
  • Leads die in WhatsApp groupsEnquiries from portals and the website reach an agent late, or not at all.
  • Repairs are chased by phoneTenants call, caretakers forget, and the landlord hears about it last.
  • Statements take daysRent, expenses and commission pulled together in Excel for every owner, every month.

Your portfolio deserves better.

The system

Let, sell and manage. One login.

Sixteen modules on one database, so a lead who books a viewing becomes a tenant with a lease, a rent schedule and an M-Pesa account number for their unit, and every shilling paid lands on the right landlord's statement. Developers add off-plan sales and site progress. Click around the dashboard below to see each part.

Try it: open a module from the menu, click a record, filter the list, or press Add property and save.

Letting

From listing to rent paid.

How a vacant unit becomes a paying tenancy in Pinch for Property, with every step recorded and every shilling on the right landlord's statement.

  1. 01

    List

    The vacant unit goes out to your website, the portals and WhatsApp from its own record.

  2. 02

    View

    Each enquiry goes to an agent, who books the viewing and records the feedback.

  3. 03

    Vet and offer

    The applicant is vetted and gets an offer with the rent, deposit and move-in date.

  4. 04

    Sign and move in

    The lease is signed online, the deposit paid and the move-in inspection signed off.

  5. 05

    Collect

    Rent is billed each month and paid by M-Pesa to the unit's own account number.

  6. 06

    Pay the owner

    The landlord gets a statement and a payout, less commission and costs.

Portals

Tenants, buyers and owners see their part.

Agents work the whole book, tenants and buyers pay and report problems from their phones, and landlords anywhere in the world see rent in, costs out and what is coming to them.

For tenants and buyers, agents and managers and landlords and investors.

Built for Kenya

Wired into how property works here.

M-Pesa per unit

A paybill account number for every unit, so each payment is matched to the right tenant and landlord on arrival.

Questions

Before you ask.

What is Pinch for Property?

A property management system built by Pinch Africa for Kenyan agents, managers and developers: listings, leads, leases, M-Pesa rent, arrears, service charge, repairs, landlord statements and off-plan sales.

How long does it take to get our portfolio live?

21 working days, from the first walk-through to go-live. Days 1 to 3 we map how you work, days 4 to 15 we build and you test, days 16 to 18 we move your data, and days 19 to 21 we train your team and switch on.

Can tenants keep paying the way they do now?

Yes. They pay by M-Pesa or bank as before. The difference is that each unit has its own account number, so every payment is matched to the tenant and the landlord automatically.

We are developers. Does it handle off-plan sales?

Yes. Units, reservations, sale agreements and instalment plans live in the same system, and buyers get site photos and progress updates in their app, which matters most to buyers in the diaspora.

Can landlords see their own statements?

Yes. Each landlord gets a login with their units, rent received, expenses, commission and payouts, plus a statement by email every month.

Can we bring in our existing tenants and balances?

Yes. We import units, tenants, leases, deposits and opening balances from your spreadsheets or current system, and check them with you before go-live.

What does it cost?

It depends on the modules and the number of units and users. After a free scoping call you get a fixed-scope proposal in writing, so you know the price before we start.

Let's map your portfolio.
