“Never used software before and was worried, but Landlord Studio has been brilliant. Easy to add properties, simple to use — even my accountant loves it.”
"Managing 20 rentals alone was overwhelming, but Landlord Studio became my one-stop shop. It simplified bookkeeping, rent, leases, and taxes — even my CPA loves it."

"We couldn't live as freely and easily without Landlord Studio. All my tenants are quite happy they get their notifications from Landlord Studio. It's dead easy."

“I love having all the units accessible at my fingertips. And would highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking to get onboard with bank to bank transfers for rent payments and wanting to create customizable reports. I love it.”

“Give it a shot! That’s what I did. This app really organized how I manage my business made everything more efficient.”

Property Hawk has announced that it is shutting down its Property Manager software at the end of July 2026, after nearly two decades as one of the few free tools for UK landlords. The notice appears on the software's login screen and tells users to move to another platform. If you use it, take copies of your tenancy records, rent history, documents and expense data now. Landlord Studio is free for up to 3 properties and imports income and expense history via CSV.
No. Property Hawk does not appear on HMRC's list of recognised Making Tax Digital software, so it cannot submit the quarterly updates or final declaration that MTD for Income Tax requires. Its tax feature pre-fills the property pages of a return for you to print or send to an accountant. Landlord Studio is HMRC-recognised, with MTD submissions included on its Pro plan (from £12/month billed annually) and available at £5 per submission on its free plan.
Landlord Studio is a leading Property Hawk alternative, especially for landlords who want to keep a free-to-start experience. It matches Property Hawk's core tools, including rent tracking, tenancy documents and expense recording, and adds HMRC-recognised MTD accounting, bank feeds, a receipt scanner, maintenance tracking and native mobile apps, free for up to 3 properties.
Take copies of your records from Property Hawk while the software is still accessible. Property Hawk has not published export instructions or a data retention deadline, so do not leave it late. Then import your income and expense history into Landlord Studio via CSV and connect your bank accounts. Most landlords are set up within a day, and the free plan covering up to 3 properties has no time limit.
Landlord Studio is free for up to 3 properties, with income and expense tracking, tenancy management, mileage tracking and pay-as-you-go MTD submissions at £5 each. Property Hawk was free but is shutting down its software and never supported MTD. For a free-to-start, MTD-ready replacement, Landlord Studio is the natural move.
