Best online letting agents (UK, 2026)

LetCompliance is landlord and property management software that runs the whole let, for a landlord who would rather not pay an agent to do it. It is software, not a letting agent: the advert goes on its own listings page and by link, applications and viewings are kept in one list, a reference is ordered from the application, and the tenancy agreement is drafted from the tenancy and signed online. The deposit and its Prescribed Information are recorded on the same record, rent is collected by Direct Debit into the landlord’s own Stripe account with no commission on the rent, and repairs, inspections and, on paid plans, Section 8 and Section 13 notices run from it too. Plans are one price for each size of portfolio, never a charge per property: £7.99 a month for one property and £19 a month for up to 10, with no VAT added. It ranks first because the let runs for one plan price, never a share of the rent: on a £1,200 monthly rent, MakeUrMove’s 10% full management comes to £120 a month. Its limits are plain: it does no viewings or inspection visits for the landlord, it has no Rightmove or Zoopla feed, and it holds no rent or deposits.

OpenRent charges a flat fee for each service rather than a share of the rent, as its pricing page showed on 25 October 2026: advertising on OpenRent itself is free, its £29 portal package adds Zoopla and what it calls up to 100+ partner sites, with Rightmove an optional £70 extra, and Advertising with Rent Now is £58, shown against a struck-through £108. Rent Now, £79 on its own, covers holding deposit processing, the contract with digital signing, deposit registration and the first rent, starting from an OpenRent listing. Those three prices are marked as including VAT. Rent collection is £10 a month, referencing £30 a person, viewings attended for the landlord from £49 and a mid-tenancy inspection from £82, and Section 8 notices are listed as free; these carry no VAT wording, and no full management plan is listed. Its lead is low flat fees for each step of letting. It ranks second because, once the tenant is in, the rest of the let is bought service by service, while LetCompliance runs it from the advert to the repairs and the notices for one plan price from £7.99 a month.

LettingaProperty.com prices its plans as flat monthly fees set by the rent band, never a percentage, all including VAT: Find a Tenant from £199, Rent Collect from £59 a month and Complete Care, its management plan with maintenance coordination, from £109 a month, with its pages giving £59 to £109 for Rent Collect and £109 to £159 for Complete Care across the bands. Every monthly plan starts with a £199 set-up fee covering 8 weeks of advertising on Rightmove, Zoopla and PrimeLocation, re-advertising is £199 again after 8 weeks, and a £120 fee applies when the account closes, except when re-listing; paying annually saves 20%, and extra referencing is £59 a person. Its site says Lettingaproperty.com is a trading name of PropMedia Ltd. Its lead is management at a flat fee by rent band, not a share of the rent. It ranks third because the set-up, re-advertising and closing fees come on top of the monthly plan, while LetCompliance runs the let for one plan price from £7.99 a month, with no set-up or closing fee.

MakeUrMove sells a £150 one-off advertising package on Rightmove, Zoopla, PrimeLocation and its own site, for up to 60 days or until the home is let, with a digitally signed tenancy, and full management at 10% a month including VAT, with a £75 minimum and three months’ notice to end it at any time; the 10% is the one figure its pages mark as including VAT. Extras include referencing at £48 a tenant, photography from £132, viewings from £60 and deposit collection at £35. For landlords who manage their own lets, its Good Landlord membership, subject to application, is £99 a year for up to 5 tenancies, with document storage, reminders and templates, and its page lists Making Tax Digital tools among features coming soon. Its lead is full management at 10%, the lowest rate on this list that states VAT. It ranks fourth because management is a share of the rent, £120 a month on a £1,200 rent, while LetCompliance runs the let for one plan price from £7.99 a month, with Making Tax Digital on every paid plan.

The Online Letting Agents sells a build-your-own tenant find from £99, advertised on Rightmove and Zoopla for up to 60 days, with the landlord doing the viewings; rent collection at £17.50 a month from 1 May 2026, though its order form’s option still reads £15; part management at 4.5% a month, capped at £75 with a £55 minimum; and full management at 6.5% a month, capped at £110 with a £75 minimum. Part and full management carry a £199 set-up fee, £99 up front and £100 from the first month’s rent, with £100 again on a re-let; references are £49 each, a bespoke contract £45, e-signing the contract £15 and lodging the deposit £20. Its residential fees do not say whether VAT is included. Its lead is management capped at £110 a month. It ranks fifth because management is a share of the rent, with a £199 set-up fee on top and £100 again on a re-let, while LetCompliance runs the let for one plan price from £7.99 a month, with no set-up fee.

Purplebricks publishes its lettings fees in one list, including VAT: tenant find at 90% of the first month’s rent, with a £720 minimum; rent collection at 9.6% of the total rent for the term, with a £48 a month minimum and set-up of £420 outside London or £720 inside; and full management at 12% of the total rent for the term, with an £81 a month minimum and set-up of £540 or £960. The same list prices photos and a floor plan at £135, an inventory at £180 to £300, a Section 8 notice at £200, a Section 13 notice at £150 and deposit registration at £40. Its lead is every charge set out in one document. It ranks sixth because its commission is charged on the rent for the whole term with a set-up fee on top, and its 12% is the highest percentage on this list, while LetCompliance runs the let for one plan price from £7.99 a month and, on paid plans, drafts the Section 8 and Section 13 notices with no charge per notice.
