Hello,

I have used Quicken Deluxe & Business for many years. It’s a very powerful tool for Landlords. But it’s not supported any more in the UK-not that I’ve ever needed support, ’cause it’s been so well tried and tested in the States.

So I wouldn’t mind moving over to something like Landlord Property Manager.

But I would like to know what LPM can do that Quicken can’t, before I move.

Anyone know? I’ll even supply you with a copy of Quicken to evaluate, upon request.

Hi,

Bought landlords property manager professional from property portfolio software earlier this year and it has totally changed the way we run our property business – for the better off course!

Their customer service is good and their on-line training videos are very comprehensive.

I saw the post from Tim which states they offer a 90 day money back guarantee. Plenty of time to see if the software is for you and I have to admit was a reason I decided to try them!

Best decision I made – apart from buying property of course :-)

Hi All, We have been using Properite Property Management & Landlord Software for a while now. Its gots some really good features including automatic tenancy agreement generation and tracking income & expenditure. Sometimes the User Interface can be a bit annoying, but overall its pretty good. The website is: Properite Property Management Software

I’ve been using Landlords Property Manager Professional from property portfolio software for the best part of four years and it’s helped to automate my whole property business. The spreadsheets have gone out of the window.

I particularly like their ongoing updates which they bas on regular customer surveys.

I see they offer a 90 day money back guarantee now, so you’ve got plenty of time to try it and decide if it’s for you.

Hi,

I use Landlords Property Manager – Professional from Property portfolio software

I have been using it for over four years. It’s easy to use and the support team are great if you have any issues.

I understand that they also won the best software award at the latest landlord awards.

May be worth giving them a try if you’re still looking.

I have used Landlord Manager for 2 years. I have over 30 properties and am seriously thinking of upgrading to the sage version on the recommendation of my accountant. The software is a joy to use and apart from a licence issue when I purchased the software every query since then has been replied to quickly and efficiently. That said I will be the first to complain should I start getting poor support

Hi everyone.
Well, LondonLandlord, here is my twopenneth.

Having once had a cheque guarantee card cut up in front of me by my bank manager (when there were such things!) I micro-manage all my finances with an ancient version of Quicken. Before leaping into being a landlord I played with all the free property management products I could find. Although initially a bit of a learning curve, Smart Property Manager, free for me and online, has come out tops.
The ammount of detail I can input is extensive. At any time, and from my ‘phone if I want, I can see exactly what is going on. I have two properties at the moment and by putting in ALL my expences from solicitors fees to batteries for smoke alarms I am able to see when I will actually go into profit!
As we all start to use the Internet for our day to day lives the deciding factor between similar products, particularly when they are free, is the quality of customer support offered.
This morning I noticed that despite a discount being offered to use UPad through SPM, none was given. I mentioned this to SPM customer support via email and within 15 minutes I had a reply and a contact within UPad. They sorted out the glitch straight away. What I had thought was another glitch in the SPM software was explained to me, my misunderstanding, within minutes. I recommend SPM wholeheartedly and would suggest that you too give it a go. If you are going to manage your own portfolio rather than give a shoebox full of invoices to an accountant, this is the one for you. As you asked, another 5 months and I start to make an actual return on my outlay!

Hello

I have been reading the comments here and just wondered how people are getting on with any of the software mentioned.

I have had LANDLORD MANAGER for the last year or so and have a quite a few problems. I quite agree with others here that the customer support is not very good, in fact quite and understatement !

so if anyone has found any good software please post

Thanks
