Migrating to the new version of Landlord Vision

The new version of Landlord Vision is just that – a new version. It is an entirely new software solution, not a new upgrade for the existing software.

What are the Benefits of the New Version?
The benefits of the new version of Landlord Vision are that it has been re-imagined to make it more modern, more user friendly and easier to use across devices.

It has been built using a different framework so that it is using the latest technologies and the features have been streamlined following continuous user feedback. Everyone at Landlord Vision along with our customers are incredibly excited by this new version.

Does New Landlord Vision Have More Features Than the Legacy Version?
Not quite - Yet!

Don’t forget the legacy version has been around for over 10 years. Although we are not there yet with a functional match, we have developed the features that we know our customers most use/want and improved them for a greater user experience.

Rest assured that exciting new and improved existing features are going to be added rapidly in the coming weeks.

You have two options:

Wait for the migration tool
You can wait until we release our data migration tool. In the coming weeks we will build a migration tool that will help existing customers transfer as much of their data across as possible (please see more about this below).

Start Using new Landlord Vision Right Away
If you don’t want to wait for migration and you’d rather start using the new version when it launches you are more than welcome to do that, but if you want to move over and start using the new version you will have to move your data over manually until the migration tool is put in place.

Tell me more about the data migration tool
Unfortunately, it is not going to be possible to migrate all the data across from legacy Landlord Vision. This is because as part of the redesign, underlying data structures and processes have changed in order to improve the features and make new Landlord Vision better and easier to use. For example it will be possible to migrate contacts, properties, tenants and documents, but it will not be possible to migrate financial data.

Therefore, a suitable solution for existing users could be to start using new Landlord Vision from a new financial year, thus retaining their historical data on the legacy version.

Yes. If you want to continue managing your property portfolio using the new version while keeping access to your historical data on legacy Landlord Vision, please contact us and we will do the following:

1) Cancel the billing for your legacy Landlord Vision subscription.
2) Switch your legacy Landlord Vision subscription to Legacy mode.

In Legacy mode you will have read-only access to your data free of charge for as long as your subscription for the new version is active. For example, you will not be able to create or edit tenancies, invoices, tasks, etc. Also, any repeating invoices, recurring tasks and email notifications will be suspended.

It’s perfectly fine if you want to keep using the legacy version of Landlord Vision. While our plan is ultimately to replace it with the new version of Landlord Vision we don’t foresee that happening for a number of years. While we won’t be selling the legacy version anymore, we will provide ongoing support to existing customers of the legacy software.

Before we created Landlord Vision, we had Landlords Property Manager (LPM), when we created Landlord Vision, quite a few LPM customers moved to the new software, but some decided to stay where they were. The software is still up and running ten years after migration and it has many happy customers who are still supported and using the software without issues. We envisage a similar scenario for customers using the legacy version of Landlord Vision.
