Four nations. One engine.

Yes — England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and not as the same tool with a different label on it. LetBuddy reads the nation from each property's postcode and adjusts. Deposit protection is the clearest case: you get that nation's approved schemes to choose from and the deadline that actually applies — 30 days in England and Wales, 30 working days in Scotland, 28 days in Northern Ireland. Compliance reminders, rent, maintenance and tax work the same wherever you let.

An email address and one property. No card, no sales call, no setup fee, and nothing to install. Once a property is in, the compliance calendar, rent tracker and document store are live immediately — adding certificates and tenancies gradually is normal, not something you have to finish on day one.

Yes. Properties, tenancies, certificates and maintenance records can each be imported from a CSV or Excel file. You see exactly what was read and what didn't match before anything is saved, and likely duplicates are flagged rather than quietly created twice.

No — and if you have one property, you never will. Your first property is free permanently, with every feature and no expiry date. There is no trial clock on it because there is nothing to trial: you already have the whole product, for as long as you want it. Adding a second property does ask for a card, and billing starts from that point — for the properties beyond the first only.

There isn't one, and there's no cut-down feature set. The honest version: a landlord with one property who finds LetBuddy useful is quite likely to buy a second property one day, and we'd rather be the tool already holding their records when they do. In the cases where that never happens, it costs us very little to keep the account running.

Yes. A property can run several tenancies at once — one per room, each with its own tenant, rent, deposit and dates — rather than forcing one tenancy per address. HMO and selective licences sit in the same compliance calendar as gas, electrical and EPC certificates, with the same renewal reminders.

Yes, at no extra cost — LetBuddy bills per property, never per seat. You choose which properties each person can reach and whether they can edit or only look, so an accountant can see the figures without being handed the whole portfolio.

Yes to both. The same account runs one property or several hundred, whether you own them or manage them on behalf of other landlords, and there is no larger edition to move up to — every feature is on from the first property. Users are unlimited and free however big the portfolio gets, each one restricted to the properties you name with edit or read-only rights, and properties can be grouped into portfolios. The per-property rate falls as you add properties and then stops rising, so a large portfolio settles at a fixed monthly figure.

No. LetBuddy keeps your rent, expenses, and Making Tax Digital records organised so your return is straightforward — but it isn't a substitute for professional tax or legal advice.

Yes, from your billing settings, with no long-term contract and no cancellation fee. You can export everything you've put in as a file whenever you like, including on the way out, and you can permanently delete your account and its records yourself — neither one needs you to email anyone and ask.
