Owners & Portfolios
Owners & Portfolios
The Owners & Portfolios page at /dashboard/owners is the management hub for individual and company portfolio holders. It sits at the second level of the platform's five-level entity hierarchy: Agent → Owner → Block → Unit → Leaseholder.
Accessing the page
Navigate to Owners & Portfolios in the dashboard sidebar (briefcase icon), located after Agency Profile and before Units & Leaseholders.
Owner types
Each owner record is classified as one of two types:
| Type | Badge colour | Additional field |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Green | — |
| Company | Blue | Company Number |
The Company Number field is only shown when the owner type is set to company.
Creating an owner
-
Click New Owner from the owner list.
-
Fill in the required and optional fields:
Identity
- Name (required) — full name or company name
- Owner Type — Individual or Company
- Company Number (company type only)
Contact Details
- Phone
Address
- Address Line 1
- Address Line 2

Click Create Owner. The action is audit-logged via
owner.create.
Tip: Owners must exist before blocks can be assigned to them. If you try to assign a block and find no owners available, create the owner here first.
Searching and filtering
From the owner list you can:
- Search across name, email, company number, and city using the search box
- Filter by type — show all owners, individuals only, or companies only
Viewing an owner's portfolio
Click any owner row to open the detail view. The detail view shows:
- All owner fields (identity, contact, address, notes)
- Portfolio summary — total number of blocks and total unit count across all assigned blocks
- Assigned block list — each block with its address, scoped to this owner only
Editing an owner
- Open the owner detail view.
- Click Edit.
- Update any fields and click Update Owner.
Transferring block ownership
Ownership of a block can be transferred to a different owner without leaving the owner detail view.
- Open the detail view of the current owner.
- In the assigned block list, click Transfer on the relevant block.
- Select the new owner from the dropdown (the current owner is excluded from the list).
- Enter a reason for the transfer — this is recorded for audit purposes.
- Click Transfer Ownership.
Constraint: You cannot transfer a block to the owner it already belongs to.
Deleting an owner
- Open the owner detail view.
- Click Delete.
- Confirm the deletion in the inline dialog.
Constraint: An owner cannot be deleted while they have blocks assigned. Unassign or transfer all blocks first.
