You moved abroad.
The property didn't.

Everything about the house now happens in a country you're not in. Rent lands in a UK account you check at odd hours, certificates expire on UK cycles, and your picture of the property depends on whoever last looked at it.

Rent lands while
you're asleep

Finding out who's paid means logging into a UK bank at midnight and working it out line by line

Deadlines don't
know you've left

Gas safety, EICR and EPC renewals run on UK cycles whether you're in Leeds or Lisbon. Miss one and it's a fine, not a reminder.

Everything depends
on someone else

An agent's statement, a relative's visit, a tenant's word. Your view of the property is only as good as the last person who looked.

Calm weekends start here.

From rent landing in a UK account to compliance deadlines and HMRC-ready books, every moving part of your UK property, in one app you can open from any time zone.

Wake up to rent already checked.

Open Banking matches every payment to the tenancy overnight, so a missed payment shows up on day two, even from six time zones away.

Got questions?

We've got answers

Answers to the most common questions from Landlords and Tenants using August.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You can cancel at any time, and your data stays yours. Before you cancel, you can export your rent records, tenancy documents and payment history so you have a full archive outside August, useful if you're handing over to an agent or selling the property from abroad. After cancellation, your account is kept in a read-only state, and your data is deleted in line with our privacy policy after that. There are no exit fees and no contractual lock-in.

Is August right for one UK property let from abroad?

Yes, that's the most common overseas landlord there is: one home, kept when life moved abroad. The Free tier covers up to two tenancies on one bank account with full rent tracking, the compliance checklist, document storage, and August Intelligence included, no card and no time limit. If you later add a property or cross an MTD threshold, the paid tiers are there, but most one-property landlords stay on Free for years. Set up takes under ten minutes from any country.

Can my tenants still reach me easily?

Yes, and arguably more easily than before you moved. Tenants message you and report maintenance issues inside their own August app, with photos, and you pick everything up on your schedule rather than at 3am local time. Your personal number stays private, which matters more once it's a foreign number tenants might hesitate to call. Every conversation and repair is timestamped and on record, so if a dispute ever reaches a deposit scheme or an ombudsman, the history is there in order. Nothing depends on a WhatsApp thread that lives on one phone in one country.

Can August handle my UK tax records from abroad?

Yes. Rent from a UK property stays within HMRC's reach wherever you live, and August keeps the records ready for that: every payment and expense logged in HMRC-recognised categories from day one, quarterly submissions direct from the app, and Excel, CSV and PDF exports for an accountant in either country. August doesn't give tax advice or file Non-Resident Landlord Scheme paperwork for you, but it does mean the numbers are already in order when you or your accountant sit down to file.

Do I still need someone in the UK?

For anything physical, yes: viewings, key handovers, inspections and emergency callouts need a person in the UK, whether that's a trade you call, a relative, or an agent on a reduced service. Everything else is information work, and that's what August does from wherever you are: rent matched as it lands, compliance deadlines tracked, documents stored, tenant messages on record, expenses categorised. Plenty of overseas landlords keep a local agent for the legwork and use August as their own independent picture of rent, costs and certificates, so the monthly statement is something you verify rather than something you take on trust.

Does Open Banking work if I live overseas?

Yes. The connection is between August and your UK bank account, made through the FCA-regulated Open Banking framework, so it works the same however far away you are when you set it up. You approve the connection from your own banking app, it's read-only, and August never holds your credentials or moves money. Once connected, every rent payment is matched to the right tenancy as it lands, and you see the result in August on mobile or web from any country, in any time zone.

How long does setup take from abroad?

Under ten minutes, and nothing about it requires being in the UK. You add your property and tenancy in a few taps, connect your UK bank account through Open Banking by approving the connection in your own banking app, and August starts matching rent payments to tenancies straight away. Certificates and tenancy agreements can be uploaded whenever you find them; August reads the expiry dates and sets the reminders itself. There's no importing spreadsheets, no training, and no card needed to start. Most landlords do the whole thing from the sofa, whichever country the sofa is in.

How much does August cost from overseas?

Exactly the same as it costs from the UK, billed in pounds wherever you live. The Free tier covers up to two tenancies on one bank account, which fits most overseas landlords letting out the home they left, with full rent tracking, the compliance checklist, document storage, and August Intelligence included. Growth at £8.99/month covers 5 tenancies and adds MTD reporting. Portfolio at £14.99/month covers 20 tenancies, and Portfolio+ at £29.99/month is unlimited. Every paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee, with no setup fees and the option to cancel any time.

Does Open Banking work if I live overseas?

Yes. The connection is between August and your UK bank account, made through the FCA-regulated Open Banking framework, so it works the same however far away you are when you set it up. You approve the connection from your own banking app, it's read-only, and August never holds your credentials or moves money. Once connected, every rent payment is matched to the right tenancy as it lands, and you see the result in August on mobile or web from any country, in any time zone.

How long does setup take from abroad?

Under ten minutes, and nothing about it requires being in the UK. You add your property and tenancy in a few taps, connect your UK bank account through Open Banking by approving the connection in your own banking app, and August starts matching rent payments to tenancies straight away. Certificates and tenancy agreements can be uploaded whenever you find them; August reads the expiry dates and sets the reminders itself. There's no importing spreadsheets, no training, and no card needed to start. Most landlords do the whole thing from the sofa, whichever country the sofa is in.

How much does August cost from overseas?

Exactly the same as it costs from the UK, billed in pounds wherever you live. The Free tier covers up to two tenancies on one bank account, which fits most overseas landlords letting out the home they left, with full rent tracking, the compliance checklist, document storage, and August Intelligence included. Growth at £8.99/month covers 5 tenancies and adds MTD reporting. Portfolio at £14.99/month covers 20 tenancies, and Portfolio+ at £29.99/month is unlimited. Every paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee, with no setup fees and the option to cancel any time.
