Ok for some, but not fully comprehensive
I think this is a decent piece of software for any Landlord who doesn't have any effective admin system already. It has some useful features, and from the others I looked at on the market, I feel its probably the most comprehensive software available at the moment.
I test drove the system with one property, although unfortunately this didn't fall under the free trial as it was a HMO property, so I had to pay to trial.
Personally, I found it didn't 'tick all the boxes' needed to be able to stop using my existing spreadsheet based system, and if I have to still use that, I might was well do everything in the one system, and hence didn't need Alphaletz.
The financial record keeping I thought was also a bit amateur. It keeps the basic rent records ok, but other wise was fairly basic, and didn't allow them to be downloaded in a useful format for sending to the accountant. Im hopeful this aspect of the software will imporve greatly with any later functionality designed for 'Making Tax Digital'.
As it didn't tick my boxes, I cancelled, but was dissapointed that not even a partial refund was offered, given I had paid for 16 properies, but only tried with 1 property which in theory I feel should have fallen under the free trial.
I may trial again in a year or two to see how its changed / improved.
