Landlord Studio Alternative for Repair Management

Landlord Studio is a property accounting and management app — focused on accounting, maintenance is an afterthought. FixRoute gives self-managing UK landlords the same repair loop closure for a flat £19/month, set up in 2 minutes.

Why landlords switch from Landlord Studio

  • Maintenance is a bolt-on — no tri-party workflow between tenant, landlord, and contractor
  • Contractors don't get job-specific links; communication still falls back to WhatsApp
  • No automatic tenant notifications when a contractor is assigned or accepts the job
  • Built around accounting — the repair workflow is shallow
  • Mobile-app-first design means more friction for tenants and contractors

What FixRoute does differently

  • Purpose-built for the full repair loop — every actor (tenant, you, contractor) has a role
  • Contractors receive scoped job links with photos, scope, and accept/decline — no WhatsApp
  • Tenants are auto-notified when contractor accepts and when the job is scheduled
  • No app required for anyone except you
  • Full audit trail: every status change, message, and photo is timestamped
£19 /month
  • Flat price — not per property
  • 14-day free trial, no card
  • Cancel anytime
  • Set up in 2 minutes

See it in action

FixRoute landlord dashboard — all repairs tracked across properties

Your dashboard: every repair, every property, every status — at a glance.

How FixRoute works

  1. 1
    Tenant reports via web link

    No app, no account. Tenant opens their property link, describes the issue, attaches photos. You're notified immediately.

  2. 2
    You assign a contractor

    From your dashboard, pick a contractor from your list. They receive a scoped job link with all the details — no briefing call needed.

  3. 3
    Contractor accepts and schedules

    The contractor accepts, submits a quote and proposed date. Your tenant is automatically updated. You never relay a message.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use both Landlord Studio and FixRoute?
Yes. Many landlords keep Landlord Studio for rent tracking and finances, and use FixRoute for repair coordination. They solve different problems and don't overlap.
Does FixRoute handle invoices and accounting?
FixRoute focuses on repair coordination — not accounting. For rent collection and finances, Landlord Studio remains a strong choice. FixRoute closes the WhatsApp chaos, not the spreadsheet.
What happens when a contractor accepts a job in FixRoute?
The contractor clicks accept on their scoped job link, optionally submits a quote and proposed date, and your tenant is automatically notified. You never have to relay a message.
