Compliance and the whole let · UK landlords · 2026
Score every property 0–100 and get email and SMS reminders before Gas Safety, EICR or EPC lapse. Then advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent and prepare your SA105 tax, all from one login instead of three separate tools. Free for one property, no card.
The stakes are real: a missed Gas Safety cert can cost £6,000 and criminal liability, a lapsed EICR up to £30,000. We sell LetCompliance and show where we’re strong, and where a spreadsheet or a good agent is still reasonable. Not legal advice.

A quick, sped-up screen tour of the whole let, end to end. No sign-up, no sales call. Just press play.
UK landlord compliance software tracks the statutory deadlines and evidence every private landlord in England must keep current: Gas Safety (every 12 months), EICR (every 5 years), EPC (minimum rating E), tenancy deposit protection (within 30 days) and Right to Rent checks. LetCompliance is a UK-built tool that scores every property 0–100 across these six areas, sends email + SMS reminders 90/30/14/7/1 days before expiry, and exports a court-ready PDF pack. It is free forever for a single property (no card), with paid plans from £14.99/mo and a 14-day full trial. Beyond compliance, the same login also advertises the property, captures applicant details, tracks rent and prepares your landlord tax (SA105), so a self-managing landlord can run the whole let in one place.
Built for the UK private rented sector — Renters’ Rights Act 2025 and Awaab’s Law ready. Start free.
Where LetCompliance fits — honestly
Works for one disciplined let. Breaks quietly after a few properties — version drift, no automatic reminders, attachments scattered across email.
Our take: Fine for 1 property, risky from 2+
Agents can absorb operational load, but you usually remain legally liable. You should still hold your own Gas Safety, EICR and EPC copies.
Our take: Yes — keep your own evidence trail
Proactive reminders, a 0-100 score per property and an encrypted certificate vault. Recommended from two units upwards — or if compliance isn’t your day job.
Our take: Recommended from 2 units upwards
No tool replaces professionals. You still need Gas Safe registered engineers, competent electricians for EICR, and qualified advisers for possession or deposit disputes. LetCompliance reduces the chance that a renewal date is the reason you failed an inspection or court test.
Email + SMS at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before any certificate expires. No calendar entry required, per-property, per-certificate.
Each property gets a live score that drops automatically when certificates lapse. Red / amber / green at a glance across the whole portfolio.
Upload Gas Safety, EICR, EPC PDFs once. AES-256 encrypted at rest, linked to the property, downloadable any time. Ready for council or insurer.
Not a single-trick compliance tracker. From advertising the property to collecting the rent, serving notices and filing your tax — here is everything the same account runs.
Legal duties are identical whichever tool you pick — only the workflow and the risk of missing a date change.
| UK compliance topic | Spreadsheet / Excel | Letting agent | LetComplianceRecommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas Safety, EICR, EPC, LOLER, Legionella, PAT & deposit dates in one place | Possible if you build a perfect sheet; easy to fragment across tabs and inboxes. | Yes if they operate a strict diary — quality varies by branch and turnover. | Track every statutory date — Gas, EICR, EPC, LOLER (lifts), Legionella risk assessments, PAT testing, deposit protection — per property in one compliance view. |
| Reminders before certificates expire | Manual calendar entries; easy to miss at 90/30/7 days when busy. | Depends on their process; you may still get caught out if communication slips. | Email + SMS ladder at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day on paid plans. Configurable per item. |
| Encrypted storage for PDF certificates | Usually email or Drive folders — not built for tenancy evidence discipline. | Often held on your behalf; ask for export rights and retention on exit. | Vault per property (AES-256 at rest) with downloads under your control. |
| 0-100 style compliance visibility | You would need to formula-build scoring yourself. | Some agencies report status; rarely a single score across all duties. | LetCompliance scores six areas per property so red/amber/green is instant. |
| Scales from 1 to many properties without chaos | Breaks quietly after a handful of lets — version drift and staff handovers hurt. | Strong if you pay for full management; costly for large self-managed portfolios. | Same workflow for one flat or dozens; plans scale by property count. |
| Audit trail if negotiator or accountant changes | History lives in whoever remembers the file path. | Good agencies keep files; still request your own copy of Gas/EICR/EPC PDFs. | Dates and documents stay tied to the property in your account. |
| Renters’ Rights Act 2025 readiness | No automatic awareness of the pet-request response window or the Information Sheet duty (existing-tenant deadline was 31 May 2026). | Depends on how quickly the branch trains around the post-RRA rules. | Section 13 rent notices, pet-request timers, Section 8 drafts and the Information Sheet deadline tracked per tenancy. |
| Who is legally liable for compliance (England) | Usually the landlord — software or a sheet does not transfer liability. | Landlord often remains liable; check your terms of business for delegated tasks. | You remain the duty holder — LetCompliance helps you track and evidence, not outsource law. |
These are the situations our early users told us about before switching. No invented names, no stock photos — just the patterns we built the product to block.
You renewed the boiler service but never moved the certificate date forward. LetCompliance would have emailed + texted at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day — plus dropped the property score until it was fixed.
One day late is still 1-3× the deposit payable to the tenant. The 30-day clock starts the moment deposit money arrives — our tenancy form surfaces the deadline the second you add the tenant.
MEES says rentals must be rated E or above. Boilers change, insulation ages, the EPC rating drifts. Our score flags properties that are likely to fall out of band before the cert actually expires.

I let property myself, and I was tired of juggling an agent, a spreadsheet and a handful of reminder apps just to stay on the right side of the law. So we built the one login I actually wanted: advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent, and keep every certificate and notice in order, each taken straight from GOV.UK.
