LetCompliance vs Landlord Vision
Landlord Vision is a UK-focused, accounting-strong platform with Open Banking and HMRC-recognised MTD for Income Tax filing. LetCompliance pairs a compliance score, Section 8 and RRA 2025 toolkit with its own Tax & HMRC layer: SA105 Tax Pack, Section 24 calculator, MTD quarterly updates sent to HMRC and a mileage log. Both are on HMRC’s list of recognised software; LetCompliance files UK property income only, while Landlord Vision also submits foreign property and self-employment income and adds Open Banking bookkeeping.
Recognised by HMRC for Making Tax DigitalThe bottom line
from the advert to the tax return
LetCompliance is landlord software for the whole let, in one login: lettings, rent and arrears, e-sign, compliance, Section 8 / 13 notices and landlord tax, including Making Tax Digital.
Landlord Vision still leads on its specialism, and the breakdown below says where.

Choose LetCompliance when
- You want lettings, rent, a compliance score, Section 8 / 13 notices and SA105 tax prep in one login.
- A live compliance score, Section 8 / RRA 2025 readiness and timestamped evidence matter as much as the tax numbers.
- Your tax return is mainly your UK lettings, and you want the records and the MTD filing in the same place that runs the let.
Choose Landlord Vision when
- Automatic Open Banking reconciliation of every rent payment is a must-have.
- You want full property accounts (balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, nominal ledger) alongside your MTD filing.
Switching: the questions that matter
What moving across involves, answered for LetCompliance. What Landlord Vision can hand over is theirs to answer, so ask them.
- Can I get my data out of Landlord Vision?
- Ask Landlord Vision before you cancel, and export while the account is still open: properties, tenants, rent history and the documents. Check what the export actually includes, because a list of properties is not the same as the certificates and agreements behind them.
- How do my properties and tenants get in?
- One CSV file, the format any spreadsheet saves as. It carries properties, rooms, tenants, rent, tenancy start dates, deposits and the gas, electrical and EPC expiry dates. Every row is checked and shown to you before anything is imported.
- Do I have to move everything at once?
- No. Move one property first, on Single at £7.99 a month with Making Tax Digital included, and keep Landlord Vision for the rest until you have seen enough.
- What about Making Tax Digital part-way through a tax year?
- Each quarterly update covers the tax year from its start, not just the last three months, so the year’s income and expenses so far need to be in LetCompliance before it sends your next one. A bank statement imports as a CSV. You can use more than one product in a year, but only one for each submission (GOV.UK).
- Do my tenants need to do anything?
- Not to start. Each tenant gets their own portal link, with no account or password to set up. If you collect rent by Direct Debit through LetCompliance, each tenant sets the Direct Debit up from that portal, because only the account holder can authorise one.
- What happens to the deposit?
- Changing software does not touch it. A protected deposit stays with the same scheme, whether the scheme holds the money or insures it. Record the scheme and its reference here.

FAQs
Should I use LetCompliance or Landlord Vision?
If you want Open Banking reconciliation, Landlord Vision is stronger. For a compliance score, Section 8 readiness, RRA 2025 workflow, a Section 24 / SA105-shaped Tax Pack and MTD quarterly updates for UK property income sent from the same records, LetCompliance is purpose-built.
Does LetCompliance do MTD ITSA filing?
Yes, for UK property income. LetCompliance sends your quarterly updates to HMRC and can submit the final declaration when UK property is the only income you need to add yourself. If you also have self-employment, foreign property, savings or dividend income, finalise the year with software that can add it, or with your accountant. It is on every plan from £7.99 a month, and LetCompliance is on HMRC’s list of recognised software.
Can I run them side-by-side without double entry?
Yes. Both store documents and dates and both can send MTD updates to HMRC; Landlord Vision leads on Open Banking reconciliation. HMRC takes one product for each submission, so choose which one files each quarter.
Is LetCompliance property management software, or mainly a compliance tool?
It is property management software for landlords and letting agents, and it runs the whole let, not just compliance. In one login you advertise, take applications and viewings, reference tenants, e-sign the tenancy, collect rent by Direct Debit and chase arrears, track a 0-100 compliance score, draft Section 8 and Section 13 notices, manage HMO rooms, book done-for-you property services and prepare your SA105 tax. The compliance score is one feature among many, not the whole product.
Which should a UK landlord choose: LetCompliance or Landlord Vision?
The page above sets what Landlord Vision's own website says it does beside LetCompliance, and lists everything else LetCompliance does. For most UK landlords and small-to-mid agencies who want the whole tenancy in one place, LetCompliance covers more of the let; Landlord Vision is the better pick for the specific areas it leads on, which are called out above. LetCompliance starts at £7.99 a month for one property, with a 3-day trial and no card.
Does LetCompliance handle Making Tax Digital and SA105 tax as well as Landlord Vision?
LetCompliance ships an SA105-shaped Tax Pack, a Section 24 personal-vs-limited-company calculator, a capital-gains calculator and a mileage log, and it sends Making Tax Digital quarterly updates for UK property income to HMRC on every paid plan from £7.99 a month (not the free plan or the trial). It is recognised by HMRC for UK property income, and if your return needs self-employment, savings or dividend income you finalise the year with software that can add it, or with your accountant.
Are these Landlord Vision comparisons independent and kept up to date?
They are written by LetCompliance, which says so plainly. The Landlord Vision column shows only what Landlord Vision's own website says, with the date it was read, and every page names where Landlord Vision is the better choice and the one thing LetCompliance does not do (Open Banking bank-feed reconciliation). Providers change their plans and prices without notice, so check theirs before you buy.
