How to set up Arthur for student properties when the primary objective is to set up as a single let, but later changes to multi let

Scenario

We market our student properties from November each year as a whole house for a single tenancy. Then we start to break up the house and market rooms individually around spring/summer if they haven’t let to a group.

Solution

Step 1

Create a single unit property with the unit ref House which is the preferred let

Once created ensure you edit the property and tick I manage the property and place all documents and certificates at property level NOT unit level as the nature of your product is changing

Step 2

If the preferred let is no longer an option, go to property>unit

Set the house unit status to unavailable

after edit and addition of units

For the following year reverse availability status on rooms and house to re-market as a house
