FAQs
Can I use PaTMa for sourcing and LetCompliance to run the let?
Yes — the two halves of the lifecycle. PaTMa is strongest at the deal-analysis stage (find the property, model the numbers, plan the refurb); LetCompliance takes over the moment the tenancy starts and runs the whole let — advertising, rent, compliance, Section 8 / 13 notices and SA105 tax — for the next 5+ years.
Does PaTMa generate Section 8 or Form 6A?
PaTMa ships basic letter templates inside the Property Manager. LetCompliance ships a full Section 8 drafter (all grounds with particulars), Section 13 rent-increase notice, Prescribed Information PDF, Right to Rent wizard and an Awaab’s Law SLA engine, the package designed for contested possessions and FTT scrutiny.
Does LetCompliance pull from Rightmove or Land Registry?
No, deliberately. We focus on the post-purchase legal and tax layer rather than deal sourcing. Pair us with PaTMa if sourcing is core to your workflow.
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 PaTMa?
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; PaTMa 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 PaTMa?
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 PaTMa comparisons independent and kept up to date?
They are written by the LetCompliance team, and we say so plainly — but each one names where PaTMa 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.
