This important new legislation has left many landlords (and tenants) with more questions than answers because when it originally received Royal Assent on 27th October 2025 we were left with a huge number of changes about to happen but no clear dates as to when.
Good landlord tenant communication is the foundation of any successful tenancy. When both parties understand each other, rent payments are made on time, repair requests are handled quickly and everyone feels comfortable raising concerns before they snowball.
Property management has changed more in the past decade than it did in the previous fifty years. Where landlords once relied on paper ledgers or creaky spreadsheets, most now manage their rental businesses entirely online. That shift has been powered by cloud-based property management software – tools designed to simplify life for landlords, agents, property […]
Commercial property management isn’t just “residential at scale.” Office blocks, retail parades and industrial parks bring multi-tenant leases, service charges, rent reviews and escalations, plus break clauses that trigger time-sensitive tasks – a lot going on all at once. It’s easy to get a bit lost with it all.
As the Renters Right bill finally passes into law there are a lot of nervous landlords and agents in England. Unfortunately, this has been made worse by all the misinformation that has been published around this legislation –
If you’ve ever tried to keep track of tenants, rent payments, and maintenance jobs using spreadsheets, you’ll know it’s only a matter of time before things start slipping through the cracks. Accommodation management comes with hundreds of small moving parts – from compliance checks and rent reminders to simple things like logging repairs.
If you’ve ever tried running social housing from a spreadsheet, you’ll know how quickly things spiral. One late repair, one missing compliance certificate, one resident who can’t get through on the phone – and suddenly you’re firefighting all day.
If you’ve ever spent a Sunday afternoon buried under receipts, rent schedules, and half-finished spreadsheets, you’ll know that managing property finances is rarely straightforward. Even small landlords quickly realise that ordinary accounting tools don’t quite fit the job. Tracking rent payments, recording expenses, filing taxes, and staying compliant with Making Tax Digital all take time […]
Managing social housing is no small task. Between rent collection, compliance checks, maintenance requests and tenant communication, the admin can quickly take over your week. That’s where the right housing association management software earns its keep – helping you stay organised, meet regulations, and deliver better outcomes for residents.
Managing student housing isn’t the same as letting out a single buy-to-let. Students tend to move in groups, rents are often split between individuals, and the academic calendar creates a predictable but intense cycle of move-ins and move-outs.
Managing property has never been a simple task. Between rent payments, tenancy agreements, safety certificates, and the endless paper trail that comes with being a landlord, it’s no wonder so many of us turn to software to lighten the load.
Arthur Online has become one of the better-known names in the UK’s property management software market. Its appeal lies in flexibility: landlords and agents can create custom workflows, automate tasks, and give access to different stakeholders via dedicated portals. For larger agencies or landlords with complex property portfolios, those tools can be a big advantage.
Rentila has become a familiar name among UK landlords, especially for those who want an affordable way to manage their rental properties. With features like digital rent receipts, expense tracking, and basic communication tools, it ticks plenty of boxes for landlords who just want a simple platform to get organised.
For most UK landlords, when they first go in search of property management software, they often come across Property Hawk. It has become a go-to tool for landlords starting out for one critical reason – it is one of the few genuinely free pieces of property management software on the market.
