Nexus by Landlord Studio and LRG sign UK MTD partnership

Nexus by Landlord Studio has signed a partnership with LRG to support landlords preparing for Making Tax Digital.

The partnership will see Nexus made available across LRG's UK lettings network, including Romans, Leaders, Stirling Ackroyd, Gibbs Gillespie, Chancellors, and Manning Stainton, among others. LRG manages more than 70,000 properties over 300 branches and 3,350 employees nationwide, making the agreement one of the largest single MTD rollouts in the UK lettings sector to date. Nexus will be available from 20 July.

Nexus has been developed for agent-managed landlords, including those who take a rent collection and/or a fully managed service. It connects directly to letting agent software and brings together rental income, management fees, expenses and property records in an MTD-ready workflow.

This means landlords do not need to rebuild records manually from rental statements each quarter, while agents can support clients with a clearer route through the new tax requirements.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment came into force on 6 April 2026 for landlords earning more than £50,000. The threshold reduces to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028.

Logan Ransley, Managing Director, Nexus by Landlord Studio, commented: "Making Tax Digital is the most significant change to how landlords manage their finances in a generation, and we have always believed the rental data landlords need already exists inside their agent's system.

"Partnering with one of the UK's largest property services groups is the clearest possible signal of how the next chapter of landlord software will be built — around agents rather than in spite of them. Nexus gives LRG's landlords a compliant, automated path through MTD from day one."

Allison Thompson, Chief Lettings Officer at LRG, commented: "Our landlords need clear, practical support as Making Tax Digital becomes part of how rental income is reported.

"Nexus stood out because it has been built specifically for agent-managed portfolios. It allows landlords to meet their HMRC obligations with confidence, while our teams continue managing their properties in the same way they do today."
