Landlord Software: How to choose the right finance tracking system for you

15 things landlords need to know about making tax digital

"Landlord Studio started as a private tool for me to have better insight and clarity around my first major property investment, after moving back home to New Zealand from London about two years ago. I couldn't find anything that was specifically designed and built for someone like me, so I quickly put it together and put it up on the app store. Unexpected amounts of enquiry and feedback led me to take the product and develop it into a fully-fledged service."

"While there are small business accounting software tools out there, like Xero and Quickbooks, they're not designed for individuals managing the finances of their rental properties, and can feel clunky and overly complex. On the other side of the scale, simply tracking income and expenses via a spreadsheet or more analogue methods, is time consuming and rudimentary. Landlord Studio is the only SaaS of its kind."

Top three tips

1. Use software that allows you to connect your bank account and digitise receipts at the point of sale.
2. Keeping accurate up to date records is about more than just preparing for tax time, it is essential for gaining financial oversight of your portfolio to identify weaknesses and opportunities for growth.
3. With the recent Section 24 tax changes, the planned increase of minimum energy efficiency standards, suggested changes to capital gains taxes, and the move to MTD coming, it is becoming more challenging to operate buy-to-lets profitably. Landlords need to be exploring tech solutions today if they want to successfully tackle these new challenges.
