Expert Product Reviews

Property Management Software is an important tool in every landlord's armoury, especially when more properties are added to the portfolio.

The decision to buy a particular product is not one to be taken lightly, as a lot of time will be invested in learning and using it, and therefore you'll want to live with it for a long time.

You need an industry leading product which is kept up-to-date with regular upgrades, has good technical support and is supplied by a tried and tested company.

In all these respects I have no hesitation in recommending Property Portfolio Software, a company we've had a long association with.

We are delighted to announce that at the recent Landlord & Buy to Let Awards, a prestigious ceremony that recognises the companies and individuals who have excelled in their field in the private rental sector, that Property Portfolio Software was the commended finalist in the Innovation category, marginally pipped to the post by the winners, a pest control company!

Whilst this is a big honour for us, validating our dedication and resolve to make life easier for landlords, a big ‘Thank You’ must go out to our customers for their feedback and suggestions that not only enabled us to be nominated for the award, but also ensures that we continue to head in the right direction. Thank you.

Just being reminded to add 10 x £30 receipts to this software would make the investment worthwhile!

I have been a property investor for nearly ten years and have tried everything in an attempt to properly get to grips with the administration of our portfolio. Most of our properties are managed but this is only a tiny fraction of the work required to keep track. We’ve employed admin assistants and bookkeepers at great cost, used spreadsheets and Sage, ready made and even bespoke software but we have just not been able to find something that ticks all of the boxes…

Until now…

I have known Amer for a few years now and have watched him develop his property management software and in all honesty believed it to be just like the others and that is that its ok to a point but doesn’t deal with all of our issues and thus I need two or three systems all running in tandem – nightmare!

But was I wrong… tearing my hair out at yet more spreadsheets and desperate to find an all in one solution I finally bit the bullet and got the software.

I am gob smacked as to how much work Amer has put in to identifying the issues of property investors. Until now no one piece of kit tackled all of the problems we face but Amer’s most certainly does.

It’s impressive without the tax add-on but that’s a real bonus…

At the end of the year your accountant charges you several thousand pounds to put all your hard work into a format suitable for the tax man and then tells you, you have two months to come up with fifty grand!!

This way you can monitor your tax liability throughout the year, it saves you huge amounts of money on your accountant’s bills and at the end of the year – no nasty surprises!

Amer is always willing to deal with any issues you have as well as add to and improve the software. I can’t recommend the software enough.
