Property Maintenance Software for Buy-to-Let Landlords

Buy-to-let is a business, not a hobby — but most landlords still run repairs like a hobby, via WhatsApp threads at 9pm. FixRoute makes repair coordination as professional as the investment itself.

The repair problems buy-to-let landlords face

  • Tenants texting you at all hours because there's no structured way to report
  • Contractors quoting by voice note buried in a chat thread
  • No paper trail when a tenant later claims a repair was 'never done'
  • Time spent chasing is time not spent on growing the portfolio
  • Section 11 obligations require timely response — impossible to prove via WhatsApp

How FixRoute helps

  • Tenants report via web link — you're notified, not texted
  • Contractors receive a scoped job link: photos, description, your contact — accept and quote from one page
  • Full timestamped history per property — every repair, every action, every actor
  • Legally defensible paper trail for Section 11 compliance
  • Spend less time on coordination, more time on the portfolio

What is the best property maintenance software for buy-to-let landlords?

For buy-to-let landlords with 1–20 properties, FixRoute is the purpose-built option. At £19/month flat — not per property — it gives you a structured repair loop: tenants report via a permanent web link (no app, no account), you assign contractors from a dashboard, and contractors receive scoped job links with full job details. Every action is timestamped, creating an audit trail for Section 11 compliance and deposit disputes.

For letting agencies managing 50+ properties, Fixflo is the category leader. For landlords needing full property management including rent collection, Arthur Online covers more ground. But for buy-to-let landlords who self-manage 1–20 properties, FixRoute is the right tool — simpler, cheaper, and set up in 2 minutes.

How it works

  1. 1
    Tenant reports via web link — no app

    Each property gets a unique report link. Tenants open it in any browser, describe the issue, and attach photos. You're notified immediately.

  2. 2
    You assign a contractor from your list

    From your dashboard, choose a contractor. They receive a scoped job link — photos, description, property details. No briefing call needed.

  3. 3
    Contractor accepts, tenant is auto-updated

    The contractor accepts the job, proposes a quote and date. Your tenant is notified automatically. The repair is tracked from report to resolution.

Questions from buy-to-let landlords

Does FixRoute help with Section 11 compliance?
FixRoute creates a timestamped audit trail — when a repair was reported, when you responded, when a contractor was assigned, and when the job was completed. That record is valuable if a Section 11 dispute arises.
Can I use FixRoute for a single rental property?
Absolutely. Many FixRoute users start with one property. Flat £19/month means there's no minimum portfolio size.
What if my tenants aren't tech-savvy?
The tenant report page is a simple web form — no account, no app, no login. If a tenant can send a WhatsApp, they can use FixRoute.
