A North East council closes its audit in days, not weeks
How a shared property record replaced three reconciled spreadsheets — and what the housing team did with the time back.
A North East council’s housing team used to dread audit season. Three spreadsheets — one for condition, one for compliance, one for leases — each maintained by a different person, reconciled by hand under deadline.
On Baileo, those three became one shared property record. When the audit came, the evidence was already there, current, and exportable. What took weeks took days.
The audit stopped being an event. The record was just … right, so we exported it and got on with our jobs.
What changed
- One property record instead of three reconciled spreadsheets.
- Compliance evidence current and exportable on demand.
- Lease and condition data in the same place, for the same home.
The real win was not the audit. It was the time the team got back for the work that actually helps residents.
