FAQ
Common questions
For some buyers. Latch is built for UK landlords, with an AI property manager called Matt and a free plan for up to 3 leases. Rentalize Core is built for letting agents and property management companies, typically 50 to 5,000 units, in the UK and Ireland, with staff accounts, client money accounts and owner statements on Growth and above. If you are a UK landlord with a few properties, Latch is the cheaper and quicker start. If you manage for owners, or run property in Ireland as well as the UK, Rentalize is the closer fit.
Latch publishes a free plan for up to 3 leases with 1 user, then Pro at GBP 20 a month and Enterprise at GBP 40 a month, plus GBP 1 per extra lease. Rentalize has no free plan. Rentalize Core starts at GBP 169 a month (EUR 199 in Ireland) for 25 properties, and Rentalize 360, for private landlords with 1 to 50 units, has no published price yet.
Latch offers a Making Tax Digital feature and HMRC-ready income and expense summaries. Rentalize does not submit to HMRC and is not on the HMRC recognised software list. It keeps rent and categorised expense records that export to CSV for filing in HMRC-recognised software. If MTD filing from your property software is a hard requirement, check each vendor against the HMRC recognised list on gov.uk.
Latch describes Matt as an AI property manager that handles tenant messages, maintenance triage, contractor dispatch, rent collection and expense tracking, on its paid plans. Rentalize includes Talia on every plan: it answers questions from your live portfolio data, drafts emails and creates tasks, and in Safe mode, the default, confirms before any change. Talia runs on an AI engine that Rentalize sets up for your account. The platform supports Anthropic, OpenAI and Google Gemini, so you are not locked to one vendor's model. Every question and change Talia makes is recorded, and tenant data is not used to train AI models.
Ask five things. Who holds the money, and can an owner see a statement? Which safety certificates and deposits does it track, and does it keep a record of the notices you serve? How many people can log in, and with what permissions? Does it file MTD updates itself, and is it on the HMRC recognised list? And will it still fit when the portfolio doubles? Rentalize answers in writing: client money and owner statements on Growth and above, certificate and deposit tracking on every plan, with Section 8 and Section 13 notices logged against the tenancy on Professional and above, 3 to 40 staff accounts by plan, no HMRC filing, and plans from 25 to 500 properties plus Enterprise.
Yes. Rentalize includes a bulk-import wizard for properties, tenants and invoices with column mapping and error reports, plus document migration for certificates, leases and deposits. Talk to the team for a scope and timeline.
