Why Latchkey exists.
Most landlords with a few lets do the admin themselves, in the evenings, from bank statements, spreadsheets and a folder of certificates. Latchkey is here to do that admin for them.
A second job nobody pays you for.
Letting a few homes yourself comes with a lot of paperwork. You work out who has paid from a bank statement. You try to remember when the gas certificate runs out. You get a notice right just after the rules have changed. And once a year you pull the receipts together for your tax return.
Most software for this is either built for letting agents with a team behind them, or it’s a spreadsheet with a nicer face. We wanted something for the landlord in between: software that knows the rules for England and Wales, counts the dates for you and keeps your records as you go, so the admin gets done instead of piling up.
Every screen on this site is Latchkey itself, every price is on the page and the trial needs no card. Try it with your own lets. If you have a question, email hello@latchkey.co.uk and the people who build Latchkey will answer.
Six principles, and what they mean for you.
-
The landlord comes first
You pay for Latchkey, so every screen starts with what you need to do. The tenant app is there to save you calls and texts.
-
The rules are built in
Deadlines the law sets in England and Wales are counted for you. Where a rule sets a limit, like the cap on late rent charges, Latchkey keeps to it.
-
Every figure adds up
Every payment is recorded to the penny, so your figures always add up and your accountant can see where each one came from.
-
You own your data
Everything you put in is yours. Download the lot as one file whenever you like, and take it with you if you leave.
-
Leaving is easy
Cancel from Settings whenever you like. There’s nobody to ring and nobody trying to talk you out of it.
-
Built for England and Wales
Every rule, date and form in Latchkey is set for letting in England and Wales, so nothing has to be adapted from somewhere else.
