Porchlights › Landlord software
Landlord software for UK landlords who manage their own properties
Letting agents typically charge 10–15% of the rent to manage a property. Porchlights gives self-managing landlords the same organisation and paper trail for £30 a month, with unlimited properties.
Everything in one place
Most self-managing landlords run their lettings from text messages, email threads, spreadsheets and memory. That works until a repair is forgotten, a certificate lapses or a deposit dispute needs evidence. Porchlights brings it together.
- Repairs: tenants report by link, QR code, text or WhatsApp, with reply-by and fix-by targets
- Rent: schedules, payments, arrears and friendly reminders, plus an AI market rent check
- Inspections: room-by-room check-in, mid-term and check-out reports with photos and tenant sign-off
- Compliance: gas safety, EICR, EPC, deposits and licences on one calendar, with reminders
- Tradespeople: book or request quotes by email, text and WhatsApp, with no login for them
Stay hands-on without being on call all the time
Porchlights does the chasing for you. Tenants get updates automatically, tradespeople get reminded to quote, and you get a reminder before any target is missed. Emergencies are flagged straight away by email and text.
A paper trail done for you
Every message, visit, photo and certificate is time-stamped and kept. If there is ever a disagreement with a tenant, a council, an ombudsman or a deposit scheme, you can download a complete dispute pack in one click.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Porchlights for?
UK landlords who manage their own properties, from one flat to a portfolio of HMOs, in England, Wales and Scotland.
How is Porchlights different from other landlord apps?
Most landlord apps are built around accounting. Porchlights is built around running tenancies well and proving it: repair reporting without a tenant app, response targets, certificate reminders with proof of service, inspection reports and one-click dispute packs.
How long does it take to set up?
About ten minutes for your first property. Add the property, its rooms or units and your tenants, then print a QR poster for each room.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 30 days free with no card needed. After that it is £30 a month or £25 a month billed yearly.
Is my data secure?
Each landlord's data is stored separately, logins can use two-factor authentication, and you can download a full backup at any time. Porchlights includes UK GDPR tools for tenant data requests.
