Introducing FreeAgent for Landlords

This week we’re launching FreeAgent for Landlords, a new version of our award-winning software built specifically for your clients who earn income from property. 

FreeAgent for Landlords is designed for unincorporated landlords who own up to five properties.

These clients can use FreeAgent for Landlords to keep digital records of their property income and costs, and track their properties’ profitability. We’ll be adding support for MTD for ITSA submissions to the software before the legislation comes into effect.

What’s new?

FreeAgent for Landlords has a dedicated ‘Property’ feature that allows clients to attribute income and costs to specific properties and then track their profitability.

All the other relevant features of FreeAgent are included, including recurring invoices, invoice payment links and the ‘Guess’ functionality for bank transaction explanations - which can all be used to automate the process of recording rental income. 

We’ll be rolling out a number of additional features to FreeAgent for Landlords over the coming months, including support for the FreeAgent mobile app, improved reporting functionality and support for additional integrations. 

How to add landlord clients

You now have the option to select ‘UK Unincorporated Landlord’ from the ‘Client Type’ drop-down menu when you set up a client on FreeAgent.

This new account type offers support for cash basis accounting - a feature we’re also making available to new sole trader and partnership accounts in FreeAgent this week. You can find out more about this in the Knowledge Base.
