LetCompliance vs Latch

Both are UK-focused. LetCompliance’s UK legal tooling includes a Section 8 drafter, Ground 8 arrears maths, Prescribed Information, a Right to Rent wizard and Awaab’s Law repair clocks. The date at the top of the table says when Latch’s side was last checked.

Not yet, by Latch’s own account: its Making Tax Digital page, read on 11 October 2026, says direct quarterly submissions to HMRC are coming soon, and that today Latch prepares quarterly summaries and reports for you or your accountant to file. LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital and sends quarterly updates for UK property income to HMRC on every paid plan from £7.99 a month (not the trial), and can submit the final declaration when UK property is the only income you need to add yourself.

Latch’s pricing page, read on 11 October 2026, lists a free Basic plan for 3 leases, Pro at £20 a month for 8 leases and Enterprise at £40 a month for 50, plus £1 for each extra lease, with a 30-day trial of Pro or Enterprise. LetCompliance is £7.99 a month for 1 property, £14.99 for up to 3, £19 for up to 10, £29 for up to 20 and £49 for any number, with a 3-day trial and no card. Latch counts leases, and its HMO answer describes a separate lease for each tenant; LetCompliance counts properties, so an HMO’s rooms, each with its own tenant and rent, sit inside one property: two six-room HMOs are two properties, on the £14.99 plan.

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.

The page above sets what Latch'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; Latch 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.

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.

They are written by LetCompliance, which says so plainly. The Latch column shows only what Latch's own website says, with the date it was read, and every page names where Latch 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.
