Why This Metric Matters
Understand Complexity
Helps you gauge the general compliance workload:
- 3-4 Average: Basic coverage (flats).
- 5-6 Average: Standard coverage (houses).
- 7+ Average: More complex properties (HMOs, specific requirements).
Spot Potential Gaps
A lower-than-expected average might indicate:
- Missing essential certificates on some properties.
- Inconsistent data entry across your portfolio.
