Landlord Software UK. Best Property Management software for UK Landlords

Yes. August has a genuinely free plan, not a trial that expires. You can manage your properties at no cost for as long as you like. Paid plans start at £8.99/month (Growth) for landlords who want additional features like advanced reporting and unlimited document storage. Portfolio (£14.99/month) and Portfolio+ (£29.99/month) are available for larger portfolios that need full control.

August is built for Making Tax Digital. It supports MTD for income tax. Track rental income and expenses digitally, generate quarterly reports, and submit to HMRC directly from the app. No bridging software or spreadsheet exports needed. MTD for Income Tax applies to landlords earning over £50,000 from April 2026, dropping to £30,000 in 2027. August keeps your records MTD-ready from day one so you're prepared when the deadline arrives.

August connects to your bank account via Open Banking (Plaid, FCA-regulated) and automatically matches incoming payments to the correct tenancy. It supports weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly schedules, handles pro-rata calculations for mid-month starts, and tracks partial payments, advance rent and management fee deductions. AI-powered matching learns each tenant's payment patterns and improves over time, showing confidence scores so you can see how certain each match is.

Yes. August's landlord expense tracking lets you categorise every cost using HMRC-aligned categories, attach receipts from your phone or desktop, set tax treatment (day-to-day or capital expenditure), add VAT details, and set up recurring expenses like insurance or management fees. Filter expenses by date range, property or tenancy, and export to Excel or CSV when your accountant needs them. Every expense is linked to a property so your records are always organised for tax season.

August provides step-by-step compliance checklists for every property and tenancy. These cover gas safety certificates, EPC ratings, EICR electrical safety, deposit protection, Right to Rent checks, smoke and CO alarms, and more. Each task includes pro tips from experienced landlords and built-in resources. Smart reminders notify you before certificates expire, and your landlord score shows compliance health at a glance. August also includes 8 ready-to-use templates: inventory sheets, check-in forms, inspection checklists and more.

Yes. August Intelligence is a built-in AI property assistant that answers landlord questions instantly. From deposit registration rules to allowable expenses to notice periods. Unlike generic AI tools, August Intelligence gives answers specific to your actual properties and tenancies. It can also scan tenancy contracts, extract key dates and terms, and auto-fill tenancy details to save you time on data entry. It's included in August at no extra cost.

August works on iOS, Android and any desktop web browser. Your data syncs automatically across all devices, so you can start on your phone and pick up on your computer. The desktop version supports drag-and-drop document uploads, larger screen layouts for managing bigger portfolios, and the same full feature set as mobile. There's nothing to install on desktop just sign in!

August is purpose-built for small UK landlords who self-manage their properties. Unlike enterprise property management tools designed for letting agents, August focuses on what independent landlords actually need: rent tracking, expense management, maintenance, compliance checklists, document storage, smart reminders and an AI property assistant. It works on iOS, Android and web, so you can manage your portfolio from anywhere. August is free to start with no credit card required, making it the most accessible landlord software UK landlords can try without commitment.
