LLCR

Overview

LLCR brings compliance records and rent history together in a web service for landlords and property professionals managing UK rentals. It is most useful to self-managing landlords who want reminders and organized records alongside payment tracking. The free tier is a practical starting point for one property; larger portfolios need a paid plan, and the evidence exports should be treated as recordkeeping tools rather than legal guarantees.

Key features

Compliance tracking and document capture

LLCR tracks Gas Safety, EICR, EPC, HMO licences and other compliance items, calculating expiry dates automatically where possible. Email reminders 30 and 7 days ahead, Telegram alerts and iCal sync give landlords several ways to stay on top of deadlines. The iCal export can feed dates into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. These are useful prompts, but they do not replace checking the obligations or keeping the underlying records accurate.

Smart Document Capture pulls dates, certificate numbers and engineer details from PDFs, scans and photographed certificates. Landlords review the extracted information before saving it, so the feature can reduce manual entry without making the capture authoritative. Uploaded files may be PDFs, images or Word documents up to 10MB each.

Audit trail and exports

LLCR says each compliance action is linked in a SHA-256 hash chain and that a daily summary is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain through OpenTimestamps. The Compliance Defence Pack bundles indexed evidence with audit-chain status and verification data. LLCR also cautions that its record supports the integrity of records held in the service; it does not prove that obligations were met or guarantee acceptance by a court or council. That distinction matters: the export can help preserve and present a history, but it is not a substitute for compliance or legal advice.

Rent records and security

Users can log rent payments and export a timestamped Court-Ready Rent Ledger PDF showing payment history and arrears. This makes LLCR more useful than a certificate tracker alone for landlords who want rental records alongside compliance documents. The service says it uses row-level database security, server-side authentication, structured data validation and a tamper-evident audit trail.

Pricing

LLCR has a free plan, a 14-day trial and paid plans starting at £19/mo. The Free plan costs nothing with no time limit and includes one active property, 10 Ava messages per month and 500MB of document storage. It suits a landlord with a single rental who wants to keep the service at no cost, but the one-property cap makes it unsuitable for even a small multi-property portfolio.

Starter costs £19 a month, billed monthly, with annual billing also available. It supports up to 5 properties, 50 Ava messages per month and standard support. This is the natural step up for a small portfolio, though its monthly message allowance and standard support are more limited than Pro.

Pro costs £39 a month, billed monthly, with annual billing also available. It covers up to 20 properties, allows 50 Ava messages per day and includes priority support. The higher message allowance and support level may suit landlords handling more frequent work, but the property ceiling is the same as Agency's included allowance.

Agency costs £39 a month, billed monthly, with annual billing available at a discount. It includes up to 20 properties, then charges £1/property/month for each additional property; the plan also includes team access and roles, custom onboarding and dedicated support. For agents or managers who need multiple users or a larger portfolio, those provisions distinguish it from Pro. The overlapping 20-property allowance and same monthly base price make the extra-property charge and team needs important points to weigh.

Starter and Pro include standard and priority support respectively, while Agency provides dedicated account support. No seat limit or trial conversion term is stated, so the plan descriptions should not be read as promising a particular seat count or renewal arrangement.

Platforms

LLCR is available on the web. Its calendar integration exports dates to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, but the service itself is a web offering rather than a listed mobile app.

Who it's for

Self-managing UK landlords get the clearest fit: one place for certificate deadlines, documents and rent history, with a free entry point for one active property. Portfolio landlords can move to Starter or Pro as their holdings grow, while letting agents and property managers may value Agency's team roles, onboarding and dedicated support. LLCR is less suitable for users who need a mobile-first service or expect an evidence export to establish legal compliance or guarantee acceptance by an authority.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Compliance records, document capture and rent history sit in one service, which reduces the need to keep those routine records in separate tools.
• Pros: Automatic expiry calculations where possible, multiple reminder routes and calendar export help keep deadlines visible.
• Pros: The no-time-limit Free plan includes storage and one active property, allowing a single-property landlord to start without a subscription.
• Cons: Free is capped at one property and 500MB, so it does not scale to a multi-property portfolio without upgrading.
• Cons: Document extraction requires landlord review, and the evidence pack does not prove obligations were met or guarantee legal acceptance.
• Cons: The listed platform is web only, which may not suit someone looking for a dedicated mobile app.

Alternatives

Property Management Compliance Software is the category list to consult if you want to compare the wider field before choosing.

Choose ComplyLet instead if you want an iOS and web option with a free Early access plan that advertises unlimited properties and documents. Choose Insparisk Command if API access or a building-focused setup is more relevant: its free Monitor plan covers unlimited buildings, 25 certificates or documents and one team member.

Spacewell, Zerix Compliance, Riskhub, BCompliant, ULTRUS Records for Buildings and Zeinloop are other options to consider.

Verdict

LLCR is a sensible choice for UK landlords who want compliance deadlines, documents and rent records in one web service, especially if they manage just one property or a small portfolio. Its mix of capture, reminders and exportable records is a stronger case than the blockchain anchoring alone, which cannot guarantee legal acceptance or prove compliance. Look elsewhere if a mobile app is essential, if the free one-property cap is too restrictive, or if you need a legal assurance rather than a better-organized evidence history.
