Latch alternatives for UK landlords (2026)

This page is about Latch, the UK landlord app at uselatch.co.uk made by USELATCH LTD, not the Latch smart lock. The main alternatives are LetCompliance and six other products: Arthur, August, Hammock, Landlord Studio, Landlord Vision and PaTMa. LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital for UK property income; Latch’s own Making Tax Digital page, read on 9 November 2026, says Latch is not on HMRC’s list of recognised software today. LetCompliance publishes this page and lists itself first; the others follow A to Z.

7, LetCompliance first
The short answer

The main alternatives to Latch for UK landlords in 2026 are LetCompliance, Arthur, August, Hammock, Landlord Studio, Landlord Vision and PaTMa. LetCompliance, which publishes this page, is listed first: it runs the whole let, from the advert to Making Tax Digital, from £7.99 a month. LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital for UK property income; Latch’s own Making Tax Digital page, read on 9 November 2026, says Latch is not on HMRC’s list of recognised software today.

The alternatives

The alternatives to Latch, with their records

LetCompliance first, as the publisher’s own software, then the others A to Z. Each one is described from its own site, with its cost a month at 1, 5 and 10 properties, its listing on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital finder and its company on Companies House.

01

LetCompliance

Listed first: the publisher’s own software
Get started
Best for
running the whole let, Making Tax Digital on paid plans, in one account
Pricing
Plans are one price for each size of portfolio, never a charge per property, a month: £7.99 for 1 property, £14.99 for up to 3, £19 for up to 10, £29 for up to 20 and £49 for any number. No VAT is added. Every new landlord account starts with a 3-day trial and no card.
Why it is first
LetCompliance publishes this page and lists itself first, as its own product. Every other product is described from its own site, with the date it was read, and they follow A to Z.

For a landlord leaving Latch, LetCompliance runs the whole let and sends the tax updates from the same records: adverts, applications and a credit-backed reference, the tenancy signed online, rent collected by Direct Debit into your own Stripe account with no commission, repairs, and, on every paid plan from £7.99 a month, Section 8 and Section 13 notices on Forms 3A and 4A and Making Tax Digital quarterly updates for UK property income sent to HMRC.

What it runs

  • Lettings in one place: adverts, applications and viewings, and a credit-backed reference ordered from the tenancy for £24.99, or £19.99 for a guarantor.
  • The tenancy agreement built for the rules since 1 May 2026 and signed online, with the move-in pack and the deposit’s Prescribed Information.
  • Rent collected by Direct Debit into your own Stripe account, on paid plans and the trial. No commission is taken on the rent. Stripe charges 1% of each Direct Debit payment with a 20p minimum and a £4 cap, and £5 for a disputed payment.
  • Repairs reported by tenants through a portal with no app and no password, each on a response clock, with inspections, and inventories on paid plans and the trial.
  • Section 8 and Section 13 notices on Forms 3A and 4A, and the possession tracker, on every paid plan.
  • Making Tax Digital quarterly updates for UK property income sent to HMRC, with the SA105 tax pack, on every paid plan.
  • Certificates tracked with reminders, and a 0 to 100 score for each property.

What it does not do

  • It has no Open Banking bank feed: bank statements are uploaded as a CSV and matched line by line.
  • It has no Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket feed: adverts are public on its own to-let pages or by link, with the text and photos ready to post elsewhere.
  • It has no App Store or Google Play app: it runs in the phone’s browser.
  • Its Making Tax Digital covers UK property income only, for the landlord’s own return, on paid plans, not the free plan or the trial.
  • Its Making Tax Digital tax return is sent from LetCompliance only when UK property is the only income you need to add yourself and you have no property loss from an earlier year, or capital allowance beyond a car, to claim, and no relief or charge to add.

Switching from Latch

Switching from Latch to LetCompliance

There is no automatic transfer from Latch: the move is a spreadsheet and your own files, and the steps below take it in order. The tenancies themselves carry on as they are.

  1. Take your records out of Latch. Latch’s help centre says every report in Latch can be exported as a PDF or a CSV, the rent roll and the profit and loss among them (read 9 November 2026). Export them for this tax year and the last, and save the certificates and signed documents you keep in Latch to your own computer; ask Latch, or check its help pages, for how.
  2. Bring the portfolio in from one spreadsheet. Open Properties, choose Import and upload a spreadsheet saved as CSV: one row per tenant, or per room for an HMO, with the address, town and postcode. Rent, deposit, certificate, licence, insurance and mortgage details come in if the sheet has them. Columns it does not recognise are listed back to you by name, and importing the same sheet again updates what is there instead of adding it twice. The import guide lists every column.
  3. Add the certificates and documents. Drop the certificate files in as a batch and the dates are read from each one, for you to check. Upload signed agreements and other documents to each property.
  4. Move the rent to Direct Debit. Connect your own Stripe account and invite every tenant not yet asked to pay by Direct Debit, 20 at a time; each tenant authorises the mandate. No commission is taken on the rent. Stripe charges 1% of each Direct Debit payment with a 20p minimum and a £4 cap, and £5 for a disputed payment.
  5. Start or carry on Making Tax Digital from the same records. Latch is not on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital finder (read 9 November 2026). If you are in Making Tax Digital, LetCompliance sends the quarterly updates for UK property income from the records that run the let, on every paid plan, not the free plan or the trial. Each update covers the tax year so far, so bring this tax year’s bank statements in as CSV first. If you already send updates through other software, LetCompliance checks HMRC for the quarters already sent, and its next update covers the whole year so far. GOV.UK says a landlord cannot use more than one software product to send quarterly updates of property income. Switching software mid-year sets out what the new product has to do.
  6. Send your tenants their portal links. Send portal links to every tenant without one, 20 at a click. Each tenant gets a link of their own, with no app and no password, for rent, repairs, messages and documents. The tenancy itself carries on as it is.

What comes across

  • Properties, HMO rooms and tenants, from one CSV.
  • Tenancy dates, the rent and how often it is due, and the deposit details.
  • Certificate, licence, insurance and mortgage dates.
  • Certificates, signed agreements and other documents, uploaded to each property.
  • This tax year’s money, from bank statements saved as CSV, on paid plans and the trial.

What stays with Latch

  • Matt’s messages and the repair timelines in Latch: save what you need with your records before you leave.
  • The Android app: LetCompliance runs in the phone’s browser, and each tenant gets a portal link with no app to install.
  • Bank statements in Excel, OFX, QIF or PDF: LetCompliance reads bank statements saved as CSV.
  • Past rent payments: the import takes the current rent, not a ledger of past payments, so keep Latch’s export with your records.
  • Anything automatic: there is no transfer from Latch to LetCompliance, only your spreadsheet and your files.

Method

How these were compared

  1. Prices: each provider’s own pricing page, read on 24 October 2026 between 16:06 and 16:20 UK time, for the round-ups on this site. The cost at 1, 5 and 10 properties is worked out from the published price and the charge for each extra unit, tenancy or lease, counting one property as one of each, with VAT as each page states it.
  2. Making Tax Digital: HMRC’s software finder, the official list, each product’s own page read one by one on 9 November 2026. It gives the quarterly update status for UK property income in HMRC’s own labels; a product not on the finder is marked “Not listed”.
  3. Company: Companies House, the official UK register, for the company each provider names on its own pages, by name and number.
  4. What each product does: its own website, pricing and help pages, read on the date given under each entry for the comparisons and round-ups on this site. Only what its own pages say is written here; nothing was bought or tried, so this is a desk comparison, not a hands-on trial.
  5. LetCompliance publishes these pages and lists itself first. Its prices come from its own plan list and its listing from the same HMRC finder.
  6. For the Latch page, Latch’s own pricing, features, Making Tax Digital, tenant portal, bank statement, lease management, HMO, letting agents, brand facts and free plan terms pages, its changelog and its help page on exports, the six other products’ pricing pages, Companies House and HMRC’s finder were read again on 9 November 2026. At 1, 5 and 10 properties each monthly price matched the record of 24 October 2026, and so did each yearly price read that day; the notes under Latch’s and Landlord Vision’s prices and the costs at 15 properties are that day’s. HMRC’s finder was read one product page at a time, ids 3000 to 3999, and held 184 products. A product page gives no tax return status, so this page gives the quarterly updates alone.

FAQs

Questions about leaving Latch

What are the main alternatives to Latch?

The main alternatives to Latch for UK landlords in 2026 are LetCompliance, Arthur, August, Hammock, Landlord Studio, Landlord Vision and PaTMa. LetCompliance, which publishes this page, is listed first: it runs the whole let, from the advert to Making Tax Digital, from £7.99 a month. LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital for UK property income; Latch’s own Making Tax Digital page, read on 9 November 2026, says Latch is not on HMRC’s list of recognised software today. The others follow A to Z, each with its price at 1, 5 and 10 properties as its own pricing page gave it on 24 October 2026.

Is this page about the Latch smart lock?

No. It is about Latch, the UK landlord app at uselatch.co.uk, made by USELATCH LTD, a company registered in Scotland with the number SC879051. Latch smart locks are made by a different company, and uselatch.com is a domain offered for sale, not Latch’s site (both read on 9 November 2026).

Does Latch support Making Tax Digital filing yet?

Not yet, by Latch’s own account. Its Making Tax Digital page, read on 9 November 2026, says sending quarterly updates to HMRC is coming soon and that Latch is not on HMRC’s list of recognised MTD software today; it keeps digital records and exports them now, and it says a landlord who has to send updates needs HMRC-recognised software for them. No product named Latch was among the 184 products on HMRC’s finder that day. LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital and sends the quarterly updates for UK property income on every paid plan from £7.99 a month, not the free plan or the trial.

Is Latch cheaper than LetCompliance?

It depends on how many leases you have. Latch’s pricing page, read on 9 November 2026, gives Basic at £0 for up to 3 leases and Pro at £20 a month for 8, then £1 for each extra lease. For 1 to 3 single lets, Latch Basic is £0, for one user and without Matt or e-signatures, against £7.99 a month for 1 property on LetCompliance Single and £14.99 for up to 3 on Solo. For 5 and for 10, billed monthly, LetCompliance Portfolio at £19 costs less than Latch Pro at £20 and £22. For 15, billed monthly, Latch Pro at £27 costs less than LetCompliance Portfolio Plus at £29; for 20, Latch Pro is £32 against £29. Latch counts leases, and its HMO page says each room let on its own tenancy is a lease, so two six-room HMOs with every room let that way are 12 leases, Pro at £24 a month. LetCompliance counts an HMO as one property, so the same two houses are on Solo at £14.99.

What do Latch and its alternatives cost for 15 properties?

For 15 single lets, one lease, tenancy or unit each, a month, as each pricing page gave it on 9 November 2026 or as worked from its own figures: LetCompliance, Portfolio Plus at £29 for up to 20 properties, with no VAT added; Arthur, Standard from £82.50, billed annually, with 55 units included; August, Portfolio £14.99, for up to 20 tenancies; Hammock, Plus £25 +VAT for 11 to 20 properties, £30 with VAT at 20%; Landlord Studio, Pro £29.40 +VAT; Landlord Vision, Standard with 5 extra tenancies £41.22 +VAT, or Premium £44.97 +VAT for 15; PaTMa, Pro £30, VAT included. Latch itself: Pro at £27 (£20 plus 7 extra leases), or Enterprise at £40 for up to 50 leases. At 15, billed monthly, August and Latch cost less than LetCompliance, and so does Hammock before VAT is added. Hammock, Landlord Studio and Landlord Vision add VAT to the figures shown, and PaTMa’s figure includes it. Where the rooms of an HMO are let on their own tenancies, Latch counts each room as a lease, and LetCompliance counts the house as one property.

Can tenants pay rent through Latch?

Not yet: Latch’s tenant portal page, read on 9 November 2026, says online rent payments are coming soon, and its brand facts page lists online rent collection as not available yet. Its tenant portal comes with every plan, and tenants pay nothing to use it. LetCompliance collects rent by Direct Debit into your own Stripe account, on paid plans and the trial, and each tenant’s portal link shows the rent and takes repairs and messages, with no app to install. No commission is taken on the rent. Stripe charges 1% of each Direct Debit payment with a 20p minimum and a £4 cap, and £5 for a disputed payment.

Can a letting agency use Latch or LetCompliance?

Latch’s letting agents page, read on 9 November 2026, says each landlord gets a separate account with its own data under one login, with read-only access for the landlord, and that Enterprise is £40 a month per account for 50 leases, with up to 5 users. LetCompliance runs an agency in one workspace with every landlord client in it: agency plans run from £24 a month for up to 5 properties to £129 a month for unlimited properties, with unlimited branches and seats, landlord statements with the agency’s fees, and a 14-day agency trial. The two are priced on different units, a landlord account against a workspace, so the sum depends on how many landlords and properties the agency has. Making Tax Digital in LetCompliance is sent from a landlord’s own account, not from an agency workspace.

Which alternatives to Latch are on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital list?

On HMRC’s software finder, each product’s own page read on 9 November 2026, for UK property income: LetCompliance, quarterly updates “Ready now”; August, quarterly updates “Ready now”; Hammock, quarterly updates “Ready now”; Landlord Studio, quarterly updates “Ready now”; Landlord Vision, quarterly updates “Ready now”; PaTMa, quarterly updates “Ready now”. Arthur is not listed. Latch: not listed. Latch’s own Making Tax Digital page says Latch is not on HMRC’s list of recognised software today (read 9 November 2026). LetCompliance sends the tax return itself only when UK property is the only income you need to add yourself and you have no property loss from an earlier year, or capital allowance beyond a car, to claim, and no relief or charge to add.

From £7.99 a month for one property. Properties, rooms, tenants, rents and certificate dates come in from one CSV, and the let runs in one place from there: the advert and the applicants, the tenancy and its signatures, the rent and the arrears, the repairs, the notices and the tax figures.
