LetCompliance vs Lendlord
Lendlord combines property sourcing and deal analysis, buy-to-let mortgages and bridging finance, and portfolio management with compliance tracking, tenancy agreements, e-signatures and MTD quarterly updates, for investors in the UK, US and Canada. LetCompliance runs the operational side: the lettings funnel (advertise, applications, viewings, convert), rent and arrears, a 0-100 compliance score, Section 8 / Section 13 / Awaab’s Law / pet-request notice generators, RRA 2025 toolkit, a timestamped evidence pack with audit-logged tenant delivery, plus a UK landlord tax toolkit (SA105, Section 24, MTD ITSA, mileage). They overlap on tenancy agreements, compliance tracking and MTD; Lendlord adds deal sourcing, mortgages and bridging finance.
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.
Lendlord still leads on its specialism, and the breakdown below says where.

Switching: the questions that matter
What moving across involves, answered for LetCompliance. What Lendlord can hand over is theirs to answer, so ask them.
- Can I get my data out of Lendlord?
- Ask Lendlord 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 Lendlord 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
Can I run Lendlord and LetCompliance together?
Yes. They overlap on agreements, compliance tracking and MTD; Lendlord adds deal sourcing, mortgages and bridging finance, and LetCompliance adds the lettings, the Section 8 / RRA 2025 workflow and the SA105 prep. Lendlord documents a portfolio CSV upload, and LetCompliance exports property and finance CSVs (the columns may need matching).
Does LetCompliance model a refinance?
Not in depth. LetCompliance has a free Rental Yield calculator and a Section 24 personal-vs-Ltd calculator, but it does not model bridging loans, BTL refinances or base-rate stress tests. Lendlord offers a BRRR refinance analyser, ICR stress-test calculators and bridging finance.
Does Lendlord generate a Section 8 notice?
Section 8 notices are not listed on Lendlord’s UK pricing page, which covers tenancy agreements, e-signatures, a compliance hub and MTD. Section 8, Section 13, Awaab’s Law and Prescribed Information PDFs are the LetCompliance core.
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 Lendlord?
The page above sets what Lendlord'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; Lendlord 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 Lendlord?
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 Lendlord comparisons independent and kept up to date?
They are written by LetCompliance, which says so plainly. The Lendlord column shows only what Lendlord's own website says, with the date it was read, and every page names where Lendlord 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.
The whole let in one login, from £7.99 a month.
