About The Letting Desk
The calm, capable back office for HMOs
The Letting Desk is HMO property management software built for UK landlords and letting agents. We quietly remove the rent-chasing admin and keep you compliant, so you can spend less time firefighting and more time growing your portfolio.
Our mission
Managing shared housing in the UK is a genuinely hard job. A single HMO can mean a dozen tenancies, a dozen rent payments to reconcile, and a long list of certificates and deadlines that carry real legal and financial risk if they slip.
Most landlords and agents stitch this together with spreadsheets, calendar reminders and a patchwork of apps that were never designed for HMOs. We think that is the wrong way round. Our mission is to give every UK HMO operator a single, dependable system that handles the admin in the background — accurately, on time, and without drama.
Who we serve
The Letting Desk is built for UK HMO landlords and letting agents — from a professional landlord with a handful of shared houses to an agency managing hundreds of rooms across a town. If you let by the room, juggle multiple tenancies under one roof, and answer to councils, deposit schemes and owners, The Letting Desk is built for you.
Rent-to-rent operators and managing agents use The Letting Desk too, because the same problems — room-level rent, compliance deadlines, maintenance, and owner reporting — show up wherever shared housing does.
The problem we solve
Two things quietly drain HMO operators: rent-chasing admin and compliance. Rent arrives in dribs and drabs, from different people, on different days — and someone has to match every payment to the right room and chase what is missing. Meanwhile gas safety certificates, EICRs, EPCs, licences and right-to-rent checks all have their own deadlines, and missing one can be expensive.
The Letting Desk brings rent tracking, compliance, maintenance, messaging and finance into one place. Payments are reconciled at the room level, deadlines are surfaced before they bite, and the busywork that used to eat your evenings simply happens in the background.
What we value
A few principles guide every decision we make about the product.
Built for the UK
HMOs, AST templates, deposit schemes, right-to-rent, gas and electrical certificates. We design for the way UK shared housing actually works, not a generic global template.
Calm by default
Software should remove noise, not add to it. We sweat the details so the day-to-day feels quiet: fewer alerts, clearer screens, and admin that simply gets done.
Fair, honest pricing
One flat rate per unit, no per-feature upsells and no lock-in. You can export your data whenever you like. We earn your business every month.
Open, not walled off
A public REST API, webhooks and real integrations come as standard. Your data is yours, and The Letting Desk plays nicely with the tools you already use.
