About Landlord Buddy

Built from the problems that show up in real tenancy files.

Landlord Buddy exists because self-managing landlords should not have to choose between doing absolutely everything alone and handing over a percentage of the rent every month.

THE PRINCIPLEKnow what needs doing.Keep the evidence.Get a person involved when judgement matters.
John Catchpole, founder of Landlord Buddy

John Catchpole

Shaped by residential lettings operations, not by a generic software template.

John has spent most of his working life in residential lettings and property operations, including compliance, arrears, repairs, possession, complaints and the evidence behind a tenancy.

The same problems appear repeatedly: a landlord did the right thing but cannot prove when it happened; a rent issue has been allowed to drift; paperwork is scattered across inboxes; or a routine tenancy suddenly needs experienced judgement.

Landlord Buddy was built around those moments. The software handles repeatable work. The property history keeps the chronology. Human support is available when the individual facts need a proper review.

Why it exists

Good property management is not only doing the right thing. Sometimes you need to show what you did.

GUIDANCE

Make the next action clearer.

Bring the rent, documents, property condition and tenancy milestones into one operating workspace.

EVIDENCE

Keep the tenancy history.

Retain the documents, confirmations, rent activity, inspections and important actions against the property that created them.

HUMAN SUPPORT

Know when software is not enough.

Use Case Support when the facts become specific, or move into a specialist service when that is the better route.

LEARNING

Understand the rule behind the workflow.

Onboarding, monthly training and legislation updates sit around the product rather than being another disconnected source of information.

Clear boundaries

Software and lettings support. Not a law firm or letting agency.

Landlord Buddy helps landlords organise the tenancy, follow practical workflows and keep evidence. It does not guarantee legal outcomes or take over management of the property unless the landlord separately chooses a full-management service through an appropriate provider.

Self-manage with better structure and a clearer record.
