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
- Flat price — not per property
- 14-day free trial, no card
- Cancel anytime
- Set up in 2 minutes

How FixRoute works
-
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
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
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.
