Free landlord software for UK landlords
For years, many small landlords used Property Hawk because it was free. It closed its Property Manager software at the end of July 2026, leaving a lot of landlords looking for a new home for their records.
What free landlord software usually covers
- Basic property and tenant records
- Rent schedules and payment tracking
- Certificate reminders
- Simple maintenance logs
What to check before relying on a free tool
- Property limits: many free tiers stop at a few properties.
- UK compliance: does it know about the Renters' Rights Act and the landlord database?
- Exports: can you download all your data in a usable format? Property Hawk users who hadn't exported lost access.
- Long-term future: free products can close. Keep your own backups.

Frequently asked questions
Is there any free landlord software in the UK?

Is free landlord software good enough?
For one or two properties, a free tool can cover reminders and rent tracking. Check whether it handles UK rules, and whether you can export your data if it closes.
