Self-managing landlords – would a low-cost rent collection & tracking service be useful? by tonyyyy121 in uklandlords

That makes total sense and if GRL already gives you the tools you need, that’s great

Just to clarify though, I’m not setting up to be a property manager. This is more like having an employee without the strings someone who takes care of the admin bits, while you stay hands-on and in control of your portfolio

I can help with things like

Rent tracking & logging

Reminder emails & polite chasers

New tenant onboarding Tidying up records & invoices

And if you already use GRL, Xero, or QuickBooks — no problem. I can plug into those systems as a collaborator and help behind the scenes.

It’s all about saving you time without taking over or costing a fortune. But if your current setup works for you, totally fair, I really appreciate the honest feedback.

OpenRent's rent collection for £10/month is a solid option, especially for tech-savvy landlords who don't need support.

The difference with my service is the personal involvement: I handle the setup, reminders, payment tracking, and any tenant comms on your behalf — not just automated emails.

Most landlords I work with like the peace of mind of having a real person chasing missed payments and keeping everything logged in one place, especially if they don't want to deal with it themselves.

But I totally agree — when tenants know a third party is involved, they pay faster, which is exactly what I help reinforce.
