Questions about Landlord Vision

Is Landlord Vision free?

No. Landlord Vision has a 14-day free trial with no card required, then plans from £7.99 a month plus VAT, an introductory price on the yearly Starter plan. Padlord is free for up to 3 properties.

Does Landlord Vision work with Making Tax Digital?

Yes. HMRC's software finder lists Landlord Vision for UK property quarterly updates, and every plan includes MTD submissions for UK and foreign property. Padlord does not file: Plus exports a quarterly summary for your filing software or accountant.

What is a good Landlord Vision alternative?

If you mainly want to see how each let performs and what is due next, Padlord tracks yield, cashflow, compliance dates and documents per property. If you need the books and MTD filing, HMRC's software finder lists other recognised products.

Landlord Vision or Padlord for a small portfolio?

Decide on whether you want to keep your own accounts. Landlord Vision does the books, MTD filing and a tenant portal from £7.99 a month plus VAT. Padlord does none of those, but it is free for up to 3 properties and keeps every deadline and document in one place.
