PaTMa
Landlord specialist · by Pither Technologies Ltd · HMRC-recognised
Landlord property-management software with a genuinely free single-property plan that includes MTD filing. Quarterly updates are reviewed and sent from inside the platform, with email reminders each quarter.
Our verdict
PaTMa is property-management software first — tenancies, rent, compliance — with MTD filing built in, and its free plan genuinely covers one property including the MTD submissions. That makes it one of the very few free options with real landlord tooling attached. Portfolios pay per unit on the Pro plan, which also unlocks agent access for your accountant. It's property income only, and the brand is smaller than the big landlord names, but for a one-property landlord the free plan is hard to argue with.

Pros & cons
What's good
- Free plan covers a single property including MTD filing — not just record keeping
- Property-management features (tenancies, reminders, compliance) alongside the tax side
- Quarterly email reminders, then review and send from inside the platform
- Per-unit Pro pricing scales with portfolio size; 14-day free trial
- Agent access available on Pro
What's not
- Property income only — no self-employment support
- Free plan is capped at one property; agent access needs Pro
- Per-unit pricing can pass bigger flat-rate rivals as a portfolio grows
- HMRC's finder currently lists it for quarterly updates; the vendor says year-end steps are filed in-platform too — check the current position
Who it's for
- Single-property landlords who want free filing plus management tools
- Growing portfolios that want per-unit pricing
…and who should look elsewhere
- Anyone with self-employment income to report
- Landlords who want a spreadsheet-first bridging approach
- Very large portfolios that would beat per-unit pricing with a flat fee
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the free plan stretches past one property — a second unit means Pro
- Forgetting the per-unit cost when comparing against flat-rate landlord tools
Frequently asked questions
- Is PaTMa really free?
- Yes — the free plan covers one property, including core MTD filing and simple accounting. More properties or the fuller feature set need the Pro plan, whose true annual cost is shown above.
- Is PaTMa HMRC-recognised?
- Yes — it's on HMRC's recognised-software finder for MTD for Income Tax for property income.
- Does it handle the year-end steps?
- PaTMa says quarterly updates, the end-of-period statement and the final declaration are all submitted from inside the platform; HMRC's finder currently lists it for quarterly updates, so double-check the year-end position when you sign up.
- Does it support self-employment?
- No — PaTMa is landlord-only. If you also have a trade, you'll need a tool that covers both.
- Can my accountant access PaTMa?
- Yes, on the Pro plan, which supports additional users and permissions including agent access.
