The UK landlord & lettings software map, one chart

What it does: Run the whole let from one dashboard: tenancy, rent, compliance, maintenance and reporting. Who for: Self-managing landlords and small-to-mid letting agencies.

LetCompliance: This is our category. LetCompliance is built to run the entire let end to end for UK landlords and small/mid agencies, with England-specific compliance and Renters’ Rights Act tooling built in.

What it does: List the property to Rightmove/Zoopla, take enquiries and applications. Who for: Landlords filling a void without a high-street agent.

LetCompliance: LetCompliance advertises, takes applications and manages viewings inside the same tool that then references, e-signs and runs the tenancy, with no separate advertising subscription.

What it does: Credit-check and reference a prospective tenant before you let. Who for: Every landlord, though usually sold as a separate per-check product.

LetCompliance: Referencing through a regulated UK credit check is built in: you screen, decide and store the result in the same place you run the tenancy, instead of paying a point tool per check.

What it does: Produce check-in / check-out reports and mid-tenancy inspection records. Who for: Landlords protecting against deposit disputes.

LetCompliance: Inventory, check-in/out and inspection records live with the tenancy, and there is a done-for-you inventory and inspection service where you want a clerk on site.

What it does: Hold a tenant’s deposit in a government-approved scheme. Who for: Legally required for every deposit-taking landlord.

LetCompliance: You still protect the deposit in an approved scheme (DPS, TDS or mydeposits). LetCompliance does not replace the scheme; it tracks the 30-day deadline, the Prescribed Information and the dispute-ready evidence around it.

What it does: Collect rent, reconcile it and pay landlords out. Who for: Landlords and agents automating rent.

LetCompliance: Rent is collected by Bacs Direct Debit and paid into your own account, with arrears chasing that feeds a Section 8 case if it ever comes to that, with no separate payments platform.

What it does: Log repair issues, dispatch contractors and track jobs. Who for: Landlords and agents managing reactive repairs.

LetCompliance: Maintenance runs as contractor work orders with AI repair triage inside the platform. A dedicated marketplace tool goes deeper on supplier sourcing, but for most landlords the built-in workflow is enough.

What it does: Track income and expenses, file Making Tax Digital, model portfolio finance. Who for: Landlords treating the portfolio as a business.

LetCompliance: LetCompliance does landlord tax: Making Tax Digital quarterly updates sent to HMRC as software recognised by HMRC for UK property income, an SA105 Tax Pack with property losses carried forward and company-owned properties left out, a Section 24 calculator, a Xero-compatible CSV and a read-only link for your accountant. A dedicated accounting tool wins on Open Banking bank-feed bookkeeping and on income beyond UK property; pair it if you need that, and let LetCompliance run everything else.

What it does: Point tools for a single compliance job, or tenant-facing credit-building and portals. Who for: Landlords bolting a single function onto a spreadsheet.

LetCompliance: A 0–100 compliance score, certificate and licence tracking, a tenant portal and rent-reporting-friendly records are part of the platform: the jobs these point tools each do separately.

What it does: Full estate-agency CRM: sales pipeline, branch management, portals, integrations. Who for: High-street estate and letting agencies at scale.

LetCompliance: LetCompliance is not a full estate-agency sales CRM. It serves landlords and small-to-mid lettings agencies who want the whole let organised, not a 50-branch sales operation. For that, these are the right tools.

What it does: Large-scale residential, block or commercial portfolio management and accounting. Who for: Institutional landlords, managing agents and build-to-rent operators.

LetCompliance: Enterprise and block management is a different job with different accounting depth. LetCompliance does not replace it: if you run thousands of units or commercial space, these platforms are built for you.

What it does: Manage Airbnb / holiday lets: channel manager, calendars, guest messaging. Who for: Short-term and holiday-let hosts.

LetCompliance: Short-let is a separate market with its own tooling (channel managers, dynamic pricing). LetCompliance is for assured tenancies (long-let landlords), so if you host on Airbnb, these are the tools, not us.
