A useful way to compare

Bring one property. Test a real situation.

Use sample or suitably anonymised records in a demo first. Ask both providers to show the outcome, the limitations and what remains your responsibility.

  1. Who actually performs referencing and which checks, fees and failure outcomes are included?

  2. Where will the signed agreement, deposit evidence and tenant communications live after move-in?

  3. Which ongoing tasks remain with you or your agent once the tenancy has started?

Not a live filing or banking service

Production HMRC filing and automatic Open Banking feeds remain disabled. Provider-backed referencing, EPC lookup and assisted extraction must not be assumed available. Tendmere does not certify legal compliance.

Check integration availability

A beta, not a paid-plan promise

Current access is £0 for 1–2 properties with no card or automatic charge. Paid checkout is disabled; future prices and limits are separate. Native App Store and Google Play releases are not available yet.

Read the current offer

Before switching, retain your original records, test a small supported import and check the resulting balances. A CSV import does not promise to move every attachment, conversation or historic approval.

Sources & how we compare

Reviewed 5 September 2026. Tendmere publishes this guide and has a commercial interest in your choice. Provider claims above are attributed to their own publications; missing information is not treated as a missing feature. We make no tested speed, savings, security-ranking or price-superiority claim.

Check the provider’s current quotation, VAT, unit limits, add-ons, support and cancellation terms. For hosting and privacy, compare current policies and subprocessors rather than assuming that a country label proves compliance.
