Alphaletz

Pros

The product is cloud based, has a sweet app and is secure. I can use this product to manage both our Residential and Commerical lettings. I am really impressed with the cleanness and smoothness of the screen and input, there is no clunkiness at all. The more I use the product the more useful features I find and once all the historical data is entered there will be no forgetting the deadlines.

Cons

There isn't much I don't like, and customer support have been so helpful and taken on board a few of my suggestions for improvements. One of the things, especially for entering all the historic data is the date entry box. It would be nice to either pick the data from the box or enter in manually. I suppose it depends how fast people are typing and data entry. For me it's quicker to do a manual entry.

Pros

Easy to set up and the phone app is good. Good value for money.

Cons

The iPad size is to small.
Could do with condensing the iPhone app display so more on screen.
CSV download of data.

Pros

Ease of use, accounting reporting, app ability to upload receipts

Cons

App upload of receipts is a bit step by step heavy, could be streamlined a bit

Pros

Ability to manage everything in one place and to manage each property as an independent unit

Cons

The reporting function needs to be improved - you can include so much information yet the reports that can be extracted are basic - seems a shame to have all the information but not be able to extract/download it.
Also there is a strong requirement for multiple log on capability which restricts access for the individual logging in

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Alphaletz

Pros

information at the touch of a button, that emails automatically go out to the tenants to remind them that the rent is due, and then the rent is late if not received, that the accounts are seamless and can easily be reconciled to the bank account, giving great management information to make informed decisions. These are the just a few of the many benefits of Alphaletz

Cons

When glitches have happened - these have been personally rectified by Richard who is keen to understand any issues and its clearly evident he wants an exceptional software that is simple to use.

Pros

It’s comprehensive and simple to use for people who are not accountants

Cons

Nothing really if you can’t work it out the help available is excellent

Pros

Good value for the size of portfolio and simple to use.

Cons

It would good if it could link in with OpenRent as this would save a lot of time.

Pros

An easy to use, cloud based system for managing Buy To Lets. There are lots of features. The product is subject to continue development and improvement. Online and telephone support is excellent. It represents good value for money.

Cons

There is nothing that I don't like. It just works. The reports could be improved as no doubt they will be over time.

Pros

User friendly, easy to navigate, great suppprtvwhen needed

Cons

Unable to isolate individual tasks when needed to create a spreadsheet of tasks

Pros

Alphaletz has been a game changer for me and better yet, my accountant loves my new end of year spreadsheet.
If you don’t understand or get stuck on something, they are always ready and willing to help.

Cons

I really can’t think of one thing that I dislike.

Pros

cost and functionality i find it very easy to use on multiple devises

Cons

notting i only use the basic functions and don't have any problems

Pros

We were looking for some software that was easy to use because of my dyslexia and dyscalculia. Which means I’m both rubbish with numbers and with visually seeing the right information in the right context.

This company provided invaluable support to navigating me through understanding and successfully obtaining the correct management output required to understand both how our business was operating and also maintaining the correct property management.

It did take a couple of days to rewire my brain from using spreadsheets but compared to other software this is intuitive and beautifully crafted along with the invaluable support from Alphaletz.

Look forward to being able to move general expenses to either LTD or sole name property output on PDF statements in one place, Versa vis-à-vis.

Pros

Read my main review.

Pros

In the short time I've been using the software it's already proved well worth the money. Not only is it really easy to set up and use, but there are lots of opportunities to watch live webinars and I've twice asked questions via email and got an immediate reply from the people who built it. I even just got sent a bespoke video in answer to a question.

Cons

Although there is a feature to link your properties to your bank account so payments can be reconciled, my bank (Handelsbanken) does not support this feature. Absolutely no fault of Alphaletz, but rather my old fashioned bank. Most banks can be linked.

Pros

It is constantly being improved. The management listen to their client base. The bigger the growing client base the better the Alphaletz System will become. I am surprised landlords go elsewhere.

Cons

I am old school and have researched this and other systems. After a year I have changed my thinking and like what I see at Alphaletz.

Pros

I really like the visual layout of Alphaletz and find it easy to see all the relevant data on the app and online.

Cons

We manage student tenancies where the rent schedule is not a straightforward monthly payment on the same day. Most pay monthly for the first 3 months and then termly for the rest of the contract. Payment dates and amounts therefore vary. We really need to be able to set this up accurately on the system to be able to monitor rent payments closely.

Pros

Alphaletz is intuitive, easy to use and provides all the information I need to manage my 3 rental properties myself. Whilst the software is relatively new to market, the company seem to take onboard feedback from their clients and build that feedback into their roadmap. There have been numerous updates and feature enhancements that are released on a regular basis since I started to use the app.

The app is fast and allows me to have information on my rentals at my fingertips. The key thing for me, is that my yields were decreasing and my managing agent added little to no value yet took a big chuck of my monthly rentals and when things did go wrong, the repair bills seemed overly expensive. Using Alphaletz has enabled me to cut out the managing agent and thereby improve my monthly yields, without overly impacting on my valuable time.

Cons

There isn't anything in particular that I dislike about the Alphaletz software.

One thing I would like to see as a possible future enhancement would be to build a pool or nationwide resources and trusted tradespeople that Alphaletz customers could tap in to (plumbers, electricians, gas safety certification, EPC's, landlord insurance, cleaning, etc.) to further reduce the time I need to spend looking after my rentals.

Pros

The most important features:-Open BankingTasks to keep your portfolio compliant Ability to store documents against tenants

Cons

- Ability to invoice from the system would be useful- Ability to add a company name rather than just a personal name

Pros

I have only used the trial version but have been looking for a software that can do it all: track everything per property (residential, commercial, HMO etc.) and do the banking/preparation for the accountant as well. Very interested in the online signing of documents.

Cons

I haven't used the product properly for all the properties that we administer, so can't comment yet.

Pros

This product is not overly complicated. I also like the look of the interface.

Cons

I am still learning how to use the product, so have no negative concerns

Pros

Able to manage, keep up to date with expenses and compliance all in one place

Cons

Would like to have been able to delete certain things Ie rent payments so they don't stay as due if they won't be paid

Pros

Takes all of the key tasks and automates them for you. If you are managing rental property this is a no-brainer! Lovely look and feel. Fantastic value for money!

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about the product. I suppose they will add even more features as they go along.

Pros

The functionality in the application focusses on the the matters that are most important to running a property rentals business. It is also designed to operate HMOs with individual room lets; critical functionality to our business.

Cons

Figuring out the tenant lease terminology and functionality took a little bit of time. I need to re-visit this as maybe I'm not understanding something.

Pros

Very simple to use and easy to navigate allows me to keep on top of my properties in a simple way, I like the way all aspects are linked in together from expenses to reminders . Has all the functionality I need without becoming to complex to use. I have tried a number of apps and this so far is the best by a long way !

Cons

none so far very happy with the app and support as needed

Pros

I have previously relied on spreadsheets for my portfolio of rental properties and this was becoming very time consuming at the end of the tax year and filling in my tax returns. Using Alphaletz software will definitely save me time and hopefully money. I have been pleased with the software since using it. The best thing that I like about the software is keeping all of my data in one secure place with instant access to information and consolidating income and expenditure.

Cons

It’s pretty easy to use and getting a hang of all the ins and out to make best use of the software. No real major concerns
