Awaab's Law puts fixed timescales on damp and mould. Investigate within a set window, provide a written summary, begin the work within another. The obligations are specific, which is what makes them auditable, and auditable is what makes them uncomfortable.
The data usually exists already
Ask a compliance team whether they know about their damp and mould cases and the answer is generally yes. Repairs systems hold the reports. Inspection records hold the findings. Correspondence holds the summaries.
What is harder is answering a different question: for this property, right now, how many days are left, and who is exposed if the answer is none.
That question spans systems, and spreadsheets built to answer it go stale between the moment they are built and the moment anyone reads them.
A clock per case, with the evidence attached
Tradelynx runs the statutory timescale as a live countdown per property, through the full lifecycle from report to investigation to summary to works, with the evidence trail attached at each stage.
It sits alongside the wider compliance areas in one calendar, so "where are we exposed" is a view rather than an exercise.
What it does not do
It does not do the repair, and it does not make a missed deadline disappear. A tool that quietly recategorised an overdue case would be worse than useless, because the value of a clock is that it is uncomfortable when it should be.
What it does is make the position visible early enough to act on, and evidenced enough to explain afterwards.
Happy to show it working against your own stock. In the meantime tradelynx.co.uk/demo/housing-association runs on sample data, says so on the page, and needs no sign-up.
