ComplyLet

Overview

ComplyLet is a landlord compliance and property-records service for self-managing landlords in England. It suits buy-to-let, HMO, and small-portfolio owners who want certificates, key paperwork, and renewal dates together; its free early access is appealing, but the conditions on keeping it free and the lack of rent and accounting tools are material trade-offs.

Users can add properties, upload certificates or request support, then receive deadline reminders. The service also introduces landlords to mortgage, bridging-finance, and insurance partners; ComplyLet says it charges no fee for mortgage introductions.

Key features

Compliance tracking and services

ComplyLet tracks Gas Safety Certificates, EICR, EPC, smoke and CO alarms, How to Rent guides, and deposit protection. Certificate tracking and expiry alerts help keep obligations visible, while email reminders also cover mortgage and landlord-insurance renewals. Landlords can request gas safety certificates, EICR, PAT testing, EPC assessments, Legionella risk assessments, and fire risk assessments through the service. That combination is useful when the priority is staying on top of recurring compliance work, rather than managing the full financial side of a tenancy.

Records and partner introductions

Encrypted document storage covers compliance certificates, tenancy paperwork, inspection records, mortgage offers, and insurance policies. Mortgage and bridging finance introductions, along with insurance partner introductions for buildings, rent protection, liability, and life cover, extend the service beyond record-keeping. These are introductions rather than a substitute for comparing providers and choosing a product.

Pricing

Early access

The Early access plan costs nothing and includes unlimited properties and documents, full Renters' Rights compliance tracking, email reminders, mortgage and insurance tracking, and access to compliance services. Continued free use requires sharing ComplyLet on two social media channels and adding at least one property. It is therefore not an unconditional free tier, despite the lack of a stated property or document cap. The service is described as free during early access, with pricing potentially introduced later with advance notice, so landlords should not assume the current price will continue indefinitely.

Platforms

ComplyLet is available on iOS and the web. A mobile app is listed, which gives landlords an option beyond desktop browser access.

Who it's for

This is best suited to self-managing buy-to-let, HMO, and small-portfolio landlords in England who want compliance dates, property documents, and access to related services in one place. It is not designed for letting agents or large housing organisations. Landlords who need accounting, rent collection, bank feeds, or agent-specific tools should look elsewhere; those omissions make ComplyLet a focused compliance companion, not a complete property-management suite.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad compliance coverage: tracking spans certificates, alarms, guides, and deposit protection, with expiry alerts and email reminders.
• Unlimited properties and documents during early access: the plan can accommodate a growing small portfolio without a stated volume cap.
• Services and records in one place: landlords can store tenancy and compliance paperwork and request several assessment and testing services.
• No fee for mortgage introductions: finance and insurance connections add practical support without a ComplyLet mortgage-introduction charge.

Cons

• Free use has conditions: users must share the service on two social media channels and add at least one property to continue using it for free.
• Early-access pricing may change: pricing could be introduced later, so the current zero-cost offer is not a lasting price guarantee.
• No accounting or rent collection: landlords wanting financial tracking, bank feeds, or rent handling need another tool.
• Narrow audience: agents and large housing organisations are outside the product's stated design focus.

Alternatives

Choose Zerix Compliance if you want a paid compliance option with Android, iOS, and web platforms. Insparisk Command is a web-based freemium alternative with a free plan. ULTRUS Records for Buildings is a paid web and API option. LLCR offers a freemium web alternative with a free plan.

For inspections, Property Inspect has a free trial and a Solo plan at $49 a month, with one user, 100 properties, limited inspections, branded reports, and email support. CloudSafe is another paid web service with a free trial. Lettable has a free trial and a Solo plan at £19 a month for up to three properties and 20 AI assistant queries per day; its Pro plan is £49 a month for up to 25 properties and 100 AI assistant queries per day.

True Compliance is a paid web option with tiers priced for portfolios of thousands of properties, making it a different fit from ComplyLet's small-landlord focus.

Verdict

ComplyLet is a sensible fit for self-managing landlords in England who mainly need compliance tracking, document storage, renewal reminders, and access to related services. Its breadth and unlimited early-access storage make it compelling at no cost, but the sharing requirement, possible future pricing, and absence of accounting and rent collection are real caveats. Choose it for compliance support; look elsewhere if you need a complete system for rent and financial management.
