Choose LetCompliance when
- Court-ready evidence, Section 8 drafting and a full RRA toolkit are why you are buying software.
- You want Ground 8 arrears maths, Section 8 generation and Prescribed Information PDF in one place.
- You value SMS reminders and the 0-100 compliance score as decision aids.
Choose Latch when
- You are happy to evaluate a very new product on its own claims. We could not verify Latch independently, so if it appeals, ask for a live demo of the exact things you need — Section 8 drafting, Right to Rent, MTD — and watch them work before you commit. That is fair advice for any young product, ours included.
- You want the newest interface in the category and are comfortable being an early customer.
FAQs
Is LetCompliance or Latch more UK-specific?
Both are UK-focused. LetCompliance ships more UK-specific legal tooling (Section 8 drafter, arrears" class="border-b border-dotted border-emerald-300/60 font-medium text-emerald-800 hover:border-emerald-500 hover:text-emerald-950" data-glossary-link="ground-8-serious-rent-arrears">Ground 8, Prescribed Information, Right to Rent wizard, Awaab SLA). We update this page quarterly as each product ships new features.
Do either of you do MTD filing?
Neither of us is a primary MTD ITSA filing tool. For MTD use Hammock, Landlord Vision or your accountant, and keep LetCompliance for compliance and court-ready evidence.
Can I migrate from Latch?
Yes. Export properties and certificates from Latch, then upload via our setup guide. Our AI expiry detection will pre-fill renewal dates on scanned PDFs.
Is LetCompliance really an all-in-one platform, or mainly a compliance tool?
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 Latch?
The table above compares them feature by feature. 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 honestly above. LetCompliance is free for your first property, then from £14.99/mo.
Does LetCompliance handle Making Tax Digital and SA105 tax as well as Latch?
LetCompliance ships an SA105-shaped Tax Pack, a Section 24 personal-vs-limited-company calculator, MTD-dated quarterly summaries, a capital-gains calculator and a mileage log — the landlord tax layer most tools skip. It is not HMRC-recognised for the direct press-submit step, so above the £50,000 MTD threshold you pair it with a recognised filer or hand the pack to your accountant.
Are these Latch comparisons independent and kept up to date?
They are written by the LetCompliance team, and we say so plainly — but each one names where Latch is the better choice and the two things LetCompliance does not do (Open Banking bank-feed reconciliation and HMRC direct-submit filing). Pricing and feature rows are re-verified every quarter.
