A spreadsheet is an excellent system, right up to the week you need to prove something.
LetBuddy tracks the rent, certificates and tax records for every property you let. An email 30 days before a certificate lapses, not the day after.

Then £5 a property a month, falling as you add more, and never more than £50 a month. If our prices rise, yours doesn't.

What do I need to get started?
An email address and one property. No card, no sales call, no setup fee, nothing to install. Once a property is in, the compliance calendar, rent tracker and document store are live. Adding certificates and tenancies gradually is normal.
Can I move my records over from a spreadsheet?
Yes, two ways. Properties, tenancies, certificates and maintenance records each import from a CSV or Excel file; you see what was read and what didn't match before anything is saved, and likely duplicates are flagged rather than created twice. Or email the spreadsheet to hello@letbuddy.co.uk, before or after you sign up, and we'll load it for you, usually within a working day.
Do I need a card to try it?
No. If you have one property, you never will. Your first property is free permanently, with every feature and no expiry date. There's no trial clock because there's nothing to trial: you have the whole product for as long as you want it. Adding a second property asks for a card, and billing starts then, for the properties beyond the first only.
What's the catch with the free property?
There isn't one, and there's no cut-down feature set. A landlord with one property who finds LetBuddy useful may buy a second one day, and we'd rather already be holding their records when they do. If that never happens, it costs us very little to keep the account running.
Does it work for a large portfolio, or properties I manage for other people?
Yes to both. The same account runs one property or several hundred, whether you own them or manage them for other landlords. There's no larger edition. Every feature is on from the first property. Users are unlimited and free however big the portfolio gets, each 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, so a large portfolio settles at a fixed monthly figure.
