Landlord Studio review
Landlord specialist · by Landlord Studio · HMRC-recognised
Landlord-focused, with a pay-per-submission MTD Go tier for small portfolios and a Pro plan with submissions included. Self-employment not covered.
Our verdict
Landlord Studio keeps the entry cost low for small portfolios: the MTD Go tier is free to use and charges per MTD submission, so a typical filing year still undercuts most landlord subscriptions. Paid Pro includes submissions and scales to larger portfolios. Like other property tools it doesn't handle self-employment, so a trade means looking elsewhere or running a second tool.

Pros & cons

- Landlord-specific income and expense tracking
- Pro tier scales to larger portfolios with MTD submissions included

What's not

Who it's for
- Landlords with one or two properties
- Anyone wanting a free starting point
…and who should look elsewhere
- Anyone with self-employment income
