Trenners Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hi, I'm thinking about getting some "proper software" to manage my residential letting business and I have heard about a product called LandlordPro. Does anyone have any experience of it ... is it any good ..... do you know if there any reseller channels that can offer a discount off the headline price. Any thoughts or comments ? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTWIN Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 hi mark key-data gold is supposed to be quite good and it also can deal with council payments which are in arrears, a lot of software cant so ive been told. the only down side is it isnt cheap but then you get whatyou pay for i suppose. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPEL Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Is the business managing your own properties or for others? CARL & WINMAN are industry leaders for lettings businesses and have some powerful functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 The one we use is called Landlord Enterprise - they just released a new version for 2009. It does all of the accounting, scheduling, maintenance logs, and manages all of our tenants, units, and leases. It tracks all of my payments, late fees, and expenses. It contains lease and application forms. The tech support is pretty good and they have a free trial at www.landlordenterprise.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkirk Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I use one called excel spreadsheet, very powerful tool, it does me as I don't have many properties. cheers Selkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melboy Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I use a WH Smith notebook for each property. ( Tax deductable of course ) Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortitia Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I keep all my basic property details and contacts for each prop in my 'page a day' diary . I always keep it with me - even on holiday. I even keep meter readings and utility account numbers in it. A Tesco plastic briefcase type expander file (£4.99) for each prop keeps all the paperwork under about 12 headings and this covers just about every eventuallity. This all fits into 1 large cupboard in my study. I love paper. Mortitia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm with you Mortitia! Why make things difficult for yourself with fancy computer programs. In my case its probably an age thing. I find paper very easy (and reliable). I never save anything in Word, I print a hard copy and file it. Simples -as the Meercat says!

TonyW Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Don't know if it is the same program you refer to but I have downloaded a trial version of a program called Landlord Manager Pro from http://www.landlord-manager.co.uk/download...anpro_setup.exe. I believe it is a fully functioning version (v8) with a 30 day evaluation period. After download you do have to first register to get a username and key before you can try though! I am sure that this may be considered rather strange as I have not even started letting yet and the fact that for the time being I will have only one property. My excuse (apart from being slightly nerdy computer type!) is that I am trying to learn the ropes before I start. I suspect that it would be just as easy to set up a spreadsheet or paper trail for just a couple of properties but with more who knows. Maybe the trial period will be enough for you to evaluate usefulness prior to committing to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson C Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 There are a fairly large number of software packages on the market, all of which testify to the need many landlords have as their portfolios grow to organise their property business in a systematic way.
