Property Management Software UK. Rent Tracking, Compliance & Expenses for UK Landlords & HMOs

Property management software helps landlords track rent, manage tenants, manage maintenance requests, store documents, and stay on top of compliance, all from one app instead of spreadsheets, bank apps, and email folders. August is property management software built for self-managing UK landlords and HMO operators. It connects to your bank via Open Banking to match rent payments automatically, and includes a step-by-step compliance checklist, expense tracking, MTD reporting and smart reminders.

August offers four plans. Free is £0 for up to two tenancies and includes rent tracking, expense tracking, financial reports, compliance checklists, smart reminders, and document management at no cost. Growth is £8.99/month and unlocks MTD reporting, and two bank accounts for up to five tenancies. Portfolio is £14.99/month for up to 20 tenancies with six bank accounts. Portfolio+ is £29.99/month for unlimited tenancies and 20 bank accounts. Every plan comes with a 30-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime.

Yes. Tenants never pay to use August. The tenant app lets them pay rent directly, report maintenance issues, at no cost. Landlords invite tenants from within the app, and tenants can access August on iOS, Android, or web. There are no fees charged to tenants for rent payments made via Open Banking.

Yes. August supports HMO properties with multi-tenancy tracking at the room level. You can add individual tenants per room, track rent for each tenant separately, and run HMO-specific compliance checklists covering licensing, fire safety, and communal area obligations. Property insights show council tax bands, EPC ratings, and estimated valuations for each HMO. HMO support is available on all plans.

August connects to your bank account via Open Banking, regulated by the FCA through Plaid Financial Ltd. Once connected, it reads incoming transactions and uses smart transaction matching to assign each payment to the correct tenancy and rent period. It handles weekly, fortnightly, and monthly schedules, calculates pro-rata for mid-month move-ins, and flags late or partial payments automatically. Confidence scores show how certain each match is, and you can override any match with one tap.

Each property and tenancy gets its own compliance task tracker, a step-by-step guide covering gas safety certificates, EPC ratings, electrical checks (EICR), deposit protection, prescribed information, Right to Rent verification, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Each task includes clear explanations of what's required, links to government resources, and Pro Tips from experienced landlords. Certificate reminders alert you via push, email, or SMS before documents expire.

Yes. August keeps your rental income and expenses structured in HMRC-recognised categories from day one, so your records are MTD-ready when the April 2026 deadline arrives. MTD reporting is available on Growth, Portfolio, and Portfolio+ plans. You can generate financial reports, filter by financial year or quarter, and export to Excel or CSV for your accountant. HMRC submission is available on the web app. Every receipt and expense is logged against a property, creating the digital audit trail MTD requires.

Yes. August is available as a native app on iOS and Android, plus a full web version at web.augustapp.com. Your account syncs across all devices, add a property on your phone, review financials on your laptop, upload documents from your tablet. All three platforms support August Intelligence, notifications, document uploads, and the full feature set including MTD, property insights, maintenance, reports, rent tracking, compliance, expenses, and reminders.

August uses bank-grade encryption to protect your data. Open Banking connections are regulated by the FCA through Plaid Financial Ltd (Firm Reference Number: 804718). August never sees or stores your bank login credentials. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. August does not sell, share, or monetise your personal data. You control your data and can export or delete your account at any time.

August is built specifically for self-managing UK landlords with small to large portfolios, unlike agency-grade tools with steeper learning curves and higher pricing. Key differentiators include smart transaction matching via Open Banking, a built-in compliance task tracker with step-by-step guidance, and an integrated tenant app. August also includes Magic Upload for documents, AI guidance for landlord questions, expense tracking with HMRC categories, and property insights with valuations.

Yes. August sends certificate reminders for gas safety, EPC renewals, electrical checks, insurance, deposit deadlines, and any custom dates you set. Reminders are triggered automatically based on document expiry dates and compliance tasks, or you can create them manually. You choose how to be notified, push notification, email, SMS, or all three. August Intelligence also suggests reminders when you upload a document in the app.

Most landlords are set up in under five minutes. Add your property details, connect your bank account via Open Banking, and August starts matching rent payments automatically. Smart tenancy setup scans your documents and auto-fills key details, no manual data entry required. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, no credit card needed.
