What is Nexus?

Carry on as usual

Records sync automatically. Landlords or their accountants review and submit quarterly Making Tax Digital updates.

Will Nexus change our client accounting workflow?

Plus Icon

Your team keeps using its existing supported client accounting system. Once connected, Nexus syncs property and transaction records automatically, so you do not need to re-enter data or upload statements each quarter.

There is an initial partner setup and integration step, and your agency introduces Nexus to landlords. Landlords then activate their accounts, with product onboarding, support and subscription payments handled by Nexus.

Who handles landlord onboarding and product support?

Plus Icon

Nexus handles product onboarding and support directly with landlords. They can contact our team through in-product chat or email for help setting up and using their account.

Your agency introduces the service using our ready-made marketing materials and signup link. Landlords can keep their accountant involved for tax advice and submissions.

How do letting agents earn commission from Nexus?

Plus Icon

Your agency earns recurring commission on eligible referred landlord subscriptions under your partner agreement. Nexus handles subscription billing and payment collection, and your partner portal lets you track signups and commission.

You can offer landlords an additional service and earn recurring revenue without raising extra subscription invoices or chasing payments.

Can landlords use Nexus if they already have an accountant?

Plus Icon

Yes. Landlords can invite their accountant into Nexus to review records, make adjustments and submit quarterly Making Tax Digital updates. They can keep working with their existing accountant.

Giving the accountant access to the same records reduces the need to pass statements and spreadsheets back and forth. Your agency continues its usual client accounting work.

Can landlords sign up to Nexus directly? Is it the same as Landlord Studio?

Plus Icon

Nexus is a separate product built for landlords working with participating letting agents.

Landlords join through their agent's invitation or agency signup link. Nexus connects to the agent's supported client accounting system; it does not replace that system or the agent's property management service.

Landlord Studio and Nexus serve different needs. Nexus helps your agency offer a Making Tax Digital solution using the records you already manage, while landlords and their accountants handle tax submissions.

Does Nexus compete with letting agents or encourage self-management?

Plus Icon

Nexus supports the service you already provide. Your agency introduces the product and remains the landlord's property management partner. Nexus handles the connected accounting portal, product onboarding and support.

What is Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, and why does it matter for landlords?

Plus Icon

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax requires eligible landlords to keep digital income and expense records and send quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software. It began in April 2026 for qualifying income over £50,000, with lower thresholds applying in later phases. Quarterly updates are required alongside the annual tax return.

Nexus helps landlords use the records held by their letting agent for quarterly Making Tax Digital updates. Landlords or their accountants review those records, add other relevant information and manage their tax obligations.

Can landlords just use a spreadsheet for Making Tax Digital instead of Nexus?

Plus Icon

Spreadsheets are allowed by HMRC. But they must be connected to Making Tax Digital-recognised bridging software to submit your quarterly updates, and you must maintain strict digital links. You cannot upload a CSV file directly to HMRC.

In practice, that means:

  • You still need separate bridging software to submit to HMRC
  • Data must flow digitally from your spreadsheet into that software
  • You can’t copy/paste, retype, or “tidy up” figures in the CSV once it’s part of the Making Tax Digital process
  • Any corrections must be made back in the original spreadsheet, then re-exported and re-submitted
  • Categories usually need re-matching each quarter

It can work — but it relies on clean spreadsheets, perfect digital links, and manual processes every reporting period.

Nexus removes this complexity by providing one connected platform:

  • Transactions flow in automatically from your letting agent
  • Digital records are stored compliantly
  • Landlords can review or adjust figures inside Nexus (without breaking the audit trail)
  • Submissions go directly to HMRC
  • Joint ownership is handled automatically with % allocation for correct Making Tax Digital filing
  • Accountants can access the same platform for easy collaboration

And coming in V2:

  • Bank feeds for automated tracking and reconciliation
  • Property-level reports to make reviewing and extracting finances simple

So while spreadsheets are permitted, Nexus avoids exports, imports, bridges, and fragile compliance steps — giving you a simpler, end-to-end Making Tax Digital experience.
