For many landlords, managing a property portfolio often means juggling multiple tools. One app for tenancy management, another for bookkeeping, a separate one for invoices, and yet another for tax submissions. While it might seem manageable, this fragmented approach quickly becomes time-consuming and error-prone, especially under Making Tax Digital (MTD) regulations.
The truth is, landlords need more than a collection of generic apps, they need RentalBux, a platform that combines property management and accounting into a single system.
The Problem with Fragmented Tools
Managing multiple software solutions can lead to missed updates, inconsistent records, and mistakes when submitting information to HMRC. Traditional tools are rarely designed with landlords in mind, which means handling joint ownership, multiple profit-sharing arrangements, or overseas property income becomes unnecessarily complex.
Many landlords assume that any MTD-compatible software will solve these problems, but most generic solutions fail when it comes to real-world property management. They may technically be compliant, but they lack features such as joint ownership handling, multiple property management or automated reconciliations.
How One Platform Makes a Difference
RentalBux solves this problem by providing an end-to-end solution for landlords. From tenant onboarding, rent collection, and property maintenance tracking to full accounting, invoicing, and HMRC-compliant submissions, everything happens in one place.
Some key advantages include:
- Tenancy Management: Record tenant details, track rent payments, and manage agreements easily.Â
- Property Accounting: Handle multiple properties, mortgages, and expenses with pre-built charts of accounts designed for property businesses.Â
- Joint Ownership Support: Split profits according to ownership ratios automatically — perfect for husband-and-wife partnerships or family-owned properties.Â
- Automation: Streamline tasks such as recurring invoices, bank feed reconciliations, and expense categorisation.Â
Unlike generic tools, RentalBux is designed to be fully practical for landlords. Many landlords switching from basic MTD-compatible software find that they save hours of admin every week because all property and accounting tasks happen in one platform.
Built by Accountants for Landlords
RentalBux was created by experienced accountants who specialise in landlord and sole trader accounting. Every feature addresses real-world challenges, making financial management simpler and less stressful. For landlords with multiple properties, it is a far superior option to most generic Making Tax Digital software for landlords, which often lacks property-centric features like joint ownership, multiple profit ratios, or automated reporting.
The intuitive interface ensures that even landlords with no accounting background can navigate property records, track income, and submit accurate MTD-compliant reports without confusion.
Conclusion
RentalBux is officially HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital, meaning your property and self-employment income submissions are fully compliant. For landlords with a single property, it is also completely free until March 2028.
For landlords searching for reliable MTD software, RentalBux combines practicality, compliance, and automation in one platform, eliminating the need to switch between five different tools.
