What you get on the free plan

Everything a one-property landlord needs to stay compliant and send Making Tax Digital updates. No trial countdown, free for good.

Live 0 to 100 compliance score

See exactly where your property stands across the six statutory areas, updated as you add certificates.

Gas, EICR and EPC tracking

Store every certificate with its expiry date so a lapsed Gas Safety check or EICR never slips past you.

Email reminder ladder

Automatic email nudges at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before any certificate expires.

Secure document storage

An encrypted vault for your certificates, the tenancy agreement and any tenancy paperwork.

Right to Rent checklist

A simple checklist so the legal right-to-rent check on your tenant is done and recorded.

Making Tax Digital

Log income and expenses, scan receipts, import bank statements and keep a mileage log, then send your quarterly updates for UK property income straight to HMRC. LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for it.

Free, with no catch

One property on the core compliance features and Making Tax Digital costs nothing, forever. We do not ask for a card, we do not expire your account, and your data is yours. The free plan exists so a first-time landlord is protected from day one, not priced out of it.

The 14-day trial on top lets you try the premium tools before deciding. When it ends you keep the free plan automatically.

The best free landlord software for a single property

Search “free landlord software” and you find three shapes: a spreadsheet (free, but it never reminds you of anything), a handful of basic free apps, and the free tiers of paid platforms. LetCompliance sits in the last group with the deepest free compliance layer for one property.

What makes a free tier genuinely useful for a UK landlord is whether it stops a fine, not how many empty features it lists. LetCompliance’s free plan tracks Gas Safety, EICR and EPC certificates with a 90 / 30 / 14 / 7 / 1-day reminder ladder and a live 0–100 compliance score: the exact things behind the biggest penalties (£6,000 for a missed Gas Safety check, up to £40,000 for a lapsed EICR). It stays free forever for a single property, with no card and no time limit, and it includes Making Tax Digital, so your quarterly updates go to HMRC from the same account.

See how it ranks against the other free options in our best free landlord software UK round-up, or compare the free and paid plans. When you are ready for more than one property, rent collection or the SA105 Tax Pack, upgrading takes one click and your data carries straight over.

Built by a landlord, for landlords.

I let property myself, so I know what it costs to juggle an agent, a spreadsheet and a handful of reminder apps just to stay on the right side of the law. LetCompliance puts all of it behind one login: advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent, and keep every certificate and notice in order, each taken straight from GOV.UK.

Free plan FAQs

Straight answers. No catch.

Is LetCompliance really free?
Yes. LetCompliance is free forever for a single property, with no card required and no time limit. The free plan keeps the core compliance on track: a live 0 to 100 compliance score, Gas Safety, EICR and EPC certificate tracking, the email reminder ladder, a Right to Rent checklist and secure document storage. It also includes Making Tax Digital: income and expenses, receipt scanning, bank statement import, the mileage log and quarterly updates sent to HMRC, as software recognised by HMRC. There is no catch and it does not expire.
What is the catch with free landlord software?
There is no catch on the free plan for one property. The way LetCompliance makes money is the paid plans: if you add a second property, or want automatic rent collection, the SA105 Tax Pack, e-signature, the Section 8/13 notice drafters or the lettings funnel, you upgrade to a paid plan from £7.99/mo. One rental stays free, with the core compliance features and Making Tax Digital.
How does the 14-day trial fit with the free plan?
Every new account starts with 14 days of the premium tools, with no card. A few need a paid plan from the start: the SA105 Tax Pack, the Section 24 calculator, the Section 8 and Section 13 drafters, the possession workflow and the evidence pack. When the 14 days end you are not locked out and you do not lose your data: the account simply settles onto the free plan for one property. You only pay if you choose to keep the premium tools or manage more than one property.
Is the free plan good for a landlord with one property?
Yes. A single missed Gas Safety check can mean an unlimited fine and a lapsed EICR can reach £40,000, so a free tool that tracks both with reminders is genuine protection for a one-property landlord. It also covers Making Tax Digital, and LetCompliance is recognised by HMRC for it, so you can send your quarterly updates to HMRC without paying. If you later want the tax pack, rent collection or to add more doors, you can upgrade in one click, but you are never forced to.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can create your account and use the free plan, and the 14-day trial, without entering any card details. A card is only needed if and when you choose a paid plan.
Can I add more than one property on the free plan?
The free plan covers one property. To manage more, upgrade to Solo (up to 3 properties, £14.99/mo), Portfolio (up to 10, £19/mo), Portfolio Plus (up to 20, £29/mo) or Professional (unlimited, £49/mo). If you have the one property and want rent collection, adverts, e-signing and the notices on it, Single is £7.99/mo. Your existing data carries straight over when you upgrade.
What is the best free landlord software in the UK?
For a landlord with a single property, LetCompliance is one of the strongest free options. Unlike a spreadsheet or a basic reminder app, the free plan gives you a live 0 to 100 compliance score, Gas Safety, EICR and EPC tracking with an automatic reminder ladder, a Right to Rent checklist and a secure document vault: the things that actually stop a fine. It also includes Making Tax Digital for one property, with quarterly updates sent to HMRC. Property Hawk, long a popular free choice, announced it was closing its free service at the end of July 2026, which makes an actively maintained free tier worth more.
Is there a free property management app for landlords?
Yes. LetCompliance is free property management software you can use on any device. There is no separate app to install: it runs in your browser and is mobile-friendly. The free plan manages one property: a compliance score, certificate tracking, reminders, Right to Rent, document storage and Making Tax Digital, with no card and no time limit.
Is free landlord software better than a spreadsheet?
For compliance, yes. A spreadsheet does not remind you before a Gas Safety certificate or EICR expires, does not compute a compliance score, and leaves you to remember every statutory date yourself. The moment you forget one, you are exposed to a fine of up to £40,000. LetCompliance automates the reminders and the score for free, so nothing depends on you remembering.
Does the free plan help with tax and Making Tax Digital?
Yes. Making Tax Digital is included free for one property. You log rent and expenses, scan receipts, import bank statements and keep a mileage log, and LetCompliance sends your quarterly updates for UK property income straight to HMRC. You can finalise your year here too when UK property is the only income you need to add yourself. The SA105 Tax Pack and Section 24 calculator are on the paid plans, from £7.99/mo. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies from April 2026 to landlords and sole traders with qualifying income over £50,000, and from April 2027 over £30,000.
