What your landlords are dealing with
The compliance burden lands on you whether you manage the property or not.
Complaint risk
A landlord calls because they cannot find their EICR and a tenant is asking for it.
Your staff spend 40 minutes locating paperwork, emailing the landlord, and chasing the engineer. This happens multiple times a month. It is invisible, unlogged, and unbillable.
Instruction risk
A landlord moves to another agency because they feel more supported on compliance.
Post-RRA 2025, compliance confidence is a real differentiator between agencies. Landlords who feel exposed will look for an agent who can show them what organised looks like.
Revenue opportunity
You have 80 let-only landlords who manage themselves. You earn nothing from them after the let.
Each one is a 25% commission opportunity every year, for the life of their tenancy. No extra work. Share your code at the point of the let. LettingsLedger does the rest.
The dual-track model
For every property you manage.
For every landlord you don't.
Most agencies have both types of client. LettingsLedger is built for both, with a different commercial model for each.
01 · Managed portfolio
Your compliance infrastructure for every property you fully manage.
One account covers your entire managed book. Every property tracked, every certificate monitored, every deadline visible in a single dashboard. You operate the platform on behalf of your landlord clients, and every action you take is attributed to your firm in their audit trail. Your service becomes visible and documented, not invisible work buried in emails and folders.
✓Entire managed book in one dashboard, sorted by urgency
✓Certificate expiry alerts across all properties at once
✓Every action attributed to your agency in the audit trail
✓RRA 2025 event workflows built in: pet requests, Section 13, disrepair
✓Landlord retains account ownership and signs the declaration
02 · Let-only referral
Turn dormant let-only relationships into recurring annual revenue.
Share your referral code at the point of the let. The landlord pays for their own subscription. You earn 25% on what they pay at purchase, and 25% of every annual renewal, with no cap, no time limit, and nothing further required from you.

For most agencies, referral commission from let-only landlords offsets a significant part of the managed portfolio cost, often covering it entirely, depending on how many let-only clients subscribe.
One dashboard for your entire book
Every managed property in one view, sorted by urgency. Certificate expirations, RRA deadlines, outstanding tasks, all visible without logging into separate accounts or chasing landlords for updates.
Every action attributed to your firm
Upload a certificate, respond to a pet request, log a repair. Your agency name appears on every action in the audit trail, making your compliance work visible and documented, not invisible.
Landlord stays in control
They own the account, the evidence pack, and the attestation. You manage everything within it. Neither party can be locked out. The architecture is designed so both sides want the other in it.
How it works
Simple by design.
No complex onboarding. No client data to manage. No liability transfer. Register once, refer with your code, earn indefinitely.
01
You register once
Create your agent account and receive a unique referral code (format AGT-XXXXX). Registration is free for the referral track. Managed portfolio pricing is available on request based on your book size and mix of managed and let-only clients.
02
Landlord enters your code
For let-only clients: they sign up themselves and enter your referral code in their account settings. The link is permanent. For managed clients: you enrol properties directly from your agency account. Either way, every action you take within their account is attributed to your firm.
03
Commission compounds indefinitely
Every payment the referred landlord makes, purchase and every annual renewal, generates your 25% commission. No expiry date, no minimum threshold, nothing further required after the initial introduction. The commission compounds as your let-only book grows.
Three-party architecture
Who owns what. Who can do what.
Landlord, agent, and tenant are distinct roles. Everyone's contribution is recorded separately. No one can act beyond their authority.
Landlord
Account owner
Owns the account and evidence pack permanently, even if they cancel or change agent.
✓Signs the compliance declaration: landlord only
✓Sees everything the agent does in real time
✓Links or unlinks agent at any time
✓Manages billing and account settings
–Cannot falsify or alter the agent's record
Letting Agent
Full operational access
Linked via unique agent code. Operates within the landlord's account with all activity attributed to the agency.
✓Uploads certificates, logs events, marks tasks complete
✓Generates statutory documents: pet letters, Section 13 notices, etc.
✓Every action: "Completed by [Agency] · [Date]"
–Cannot sign the compliance declaration
–Cannot access billing or account settings
Tenant
Read-only proof view
Invited by landlord or agent. Sees compliance status, can submit events. Cannot modify any record.
✓Views certificate currency: gas, EICR, EPC
✓Submits repair requests, pet requests, S13 challenges
–Cannot modify any compliance record or task
–No independent access, invited only
Account types
Two account types.
Different products, different purpose.
Landlord accounts and agent accounts are structurally different. The workflow itself prevents commercial property management through a personal landlord account.
Landlord account
For private landlords managing their own properties
One enrolment per property. The landlord is named as the responsible party and signs the compliance declaration personally. Designed for individuals, not commercial management of third-party client properties.
Named to the individual landlord throughout
Declaration signed personally by the account holder
Pricing: £49 one-off · £79/yr · £149/yr · £299/yr unlimited
Commercial use for third-party properties prohibited in T&Cs
Agent linked via referral code, not the primary type for agencies
An agent signing declarations across 20 client properties through a landlord account would be making personal attestations on behalf of those clients. The workflow makes this impractical, not just contractually prohibited.
Agent account
For letting agents acting on behalf of client landlords
One account covers your entire managed book. Built for commercial property management: multi-property dashboard, client attribution, agency-level reporting. Priced to reflect commercial use.
Agency-level portfolio view across all managed clients
Every action attributed to your firm, not the landlord
Landlord retains ownership; you retain operational access
Managed portfolio pricing: available on request
Referral code simultaneously active for let-only clients
What your clients pay · what you earn
Landlord pricing tiers.
These are the tiers a referred landlord chooses from. Your 25% commission applies to the purchase price and every annual renewal at whichever tier they select.
Why the pricing is designed this way. £49 entry removes the buy objection entirely. The managed portfolio licence for agents is priced separately to reflect commercial use. It is not the same product as a private landlord's personal subscription. Referral commission from let-only clients is designed to offset a meaningful part of that cost.
| Tier | Landlord pays | Your commission | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
Foundation One-off · no subscription |
£49 | £12.25 | 28 obligations · guidance · AI document generation · permanent evidence pack |
Standard Per year · 1 property |
£79/yr | £19.75/yr | + Live deadline engine · reminders · all RRA 2025 workflows · agent + tenant access |
Portfolio Per year · up to 5 properties |
£149/yr | £37.25/yr | + Per-property tracking · portfolio dashboard · worst-case certificate view |
Pro Per year · unlimited properties |
£299/yr | £74.75/yr | + HMO module · Section 8 evidence builder · deposit dispute workflow · legislative alerts |
Managed portfolio Agent account · your entire book |
On request | — | Your agency account: not a landlord subscription. Covers all fully managed properties in one dashboard. |
Referral commission is 25% on purchase + 25% on every annual renewal, perpetual and uncapped. Referral portal free at account level. Managed portfolio licence is a separate commercial arrangement.
Common questions
Things agents ask.
Could my landlord clients manage their own compliance and drop me? ▾
No, by design. Every action you take within a landlord's account is attributed to your agency's name in the audit trail. The compliance declaration can only be signed by the landlord personally. A landlord who leaves takes the account, but your service record, every upload, every task you completed, every event you logged, remains in it permanently. LettingsLedger makes your contribution more visible and more valuable, not less.
What is the difference between the referral model and the managed portfolio licence? ▾
The referral model is for let-only landlords, landlords you place but do not actively manage. They pay for their own subscription; you earn commission. The managed portfolio licence is your agency account, covering all properties you fully manage on behalf of clients: one dashboard, your firm's name on every audit trail entry, priced for commercial use. Both run simultaneously. Most agencies use both and offset one against the other.
Why is the managed portfolio licence priced differently from a landlord subscription? ▾
Because it is a different product serving a different purpose. A landlord at £49–£299/year is managing their own properties, typically 8 to 20. A letting agency is running a commercial compliance service across a client book, billing management fees, and using the platform as operational infrastructure. Commercial use warrants commercial pricing. The referral commission from let-only clients is designed to offset a meaningful part of that cost.
Is there a minimum number of landlords to qualify for the referral model? ▾
No minimum. You receive your referral code when you register, and commission starts from the first landlord who subscribes through it. No threshold, no minimum commitment, no cost to participate.
What can an agent actually do within a landlord's account? ▾
Once linked via the referral code, the agent sees the full compliance posture of that property: certificate currency, open tasks, task status, compliance score, and upcoming deadlines. The agent can upload evidence, log compliance events, mark tasks complete, and use document generation, everything the landlord can do, except sign the compliance declaration and manage billing. Every action is attributed under the agent's firm name, not the landlord's. The landlord retains full oversight and can unlink the agent at any time.
Does LettingsLedger expose the agency to any legal liability? ▾
No. LettingsLedger is a compliance governance, workflow, and evidence platform, not a legal services provider. The compliance declaration is signed by the landlord personally. The agency's role is operational: uploading evidence, logging events, completing tasks on the landlord's behalf. The landlord's attestation of compliance is theirs alone.
