Landlord Papers compared

Five other tools for landlords in England, side by side: what they cost, what is free, how they remind you about certificates, and how much they help with the new landlord register.

What’s different, and where others are ahead

  • Your register entry, prepared for you. The others give you a checklist, workbook or pack to fill in. Landlord Papers prepares each entry from your certificates, for £29 a year for up to 3 properties.
  • Free tools with no account or email. The register worksheet is free (Landlord Deadlines charges £22.80 for its workbook; Landlord Studio’s pack needs your email), and so are the deadline checker and calendar reminders.
  • A named person, and no access to your account. Landlord Papers is run by Romilly Eveleigh; Landlord Deadlines doesn’t say who runs it. We never ask for your GOV.UK One Login, never take the £65 government fee and never submit anything in your name.
  • Where others are ahead: LetCompliance sends more reminders by email, August and LetCompliance read certificate dates in their apps today, and August and Landlord Studio also handle rent and tax.

Yes. Landlord Papers’ register worksheet is free, with no account or email, and prints one sheet per property. Landlord Studio’s registration pack is free but needs your email. Landlord Deadlines’ workbook costs £22.80.

How were these checked?

Every price and feature was read on each company’s own website on 3 November 2026, and each row links to its sources. We didn’t sign up to the paid plans, so app features are as each company describes them. Prices change, so check before you buy.
