Frequently asked questions
Who is FreeAgent for Landlords for?
FreeAgent for Landlords is designed specifically for unincorporated landlords. That means it is right for you if you earn income from properties but do not treat your property rentals as limited companies for tax purposes.
Can I use FreeAgent for Landlords with an accountant?

Does FreeAgent for Landlords support Self Assessment?
FreeAgent for Landlords will auto-populate the UK Property (SA105) pages of the Self Assessment form where possible and allow you to submit the return directly to HMRC from the software.
If you have other (non-property) income to include, such as income from self-employment, you will be able to enter this manually in FreeAgent for Landlords and include it with your Self Assessment submission. However, please note that if you choose to submit your return to HMRC through FreeAgent for Landlords, you will not be able to submit any additional details via an alternative provider, as you can only make one Self Assessment submission.
If you use a separate sole trader or limited company FreeAgent account to record your other income, you can only make a submission from one version of the software. For example, if you choose to submit from a sole trader FreeAgent account, your Self Employment pages will be auto-populated where possible, but you will have to manually enter the figures for the Property pages (which you can obtain from your FreeAgent for Landlords account).
Conversely, if you choose to submit from a FreeAgent for Landlords account, the Property pages will be auto-populated where possible, but you will have to manually enter the figures for the Self Employment pages (which you can obtain from your sole trader FreeAgent account).
Does FreeAgent for Landlords support Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax?
Yes, FreeAgent for Landlords allows you to meet all of your MTD for Income Tax obligations by submitting quarterly updates and a final declaration directly to HMRC from within FreeAgent.
FreeAgent for Landlords has a dedicated MTD for Income Tax filing area that clearly shows what needs to be submitted and when, with step-by-step guidance through each update and final declaration. This lets you:
- track submission deadlines with ease
- review quarterly figures and final declarations with confidence
- submit updates to HMRC in a streamlined, fully compliant way
For more information about MTD for Income Tax, including when you will have to comply with the new rules, and what to do if you have income from sole trades as well as property, see our collection of MTD guides.
I jointly own a property with another person. Can we use the same account?
Yes, you can both share one FreeAgent account to manage your property accounts. Once you set the correct ownership splits, FreeAgent will automatically split income and expenditure accordingly.
For Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax, joint property owners can each manage their own separate MTD submission within the same single FreeAgent account.
Can I manage multiple properties in one account?
Yes, you can manage multiple properties in one FreeAgent for Landlords account.
If you jointly own any of these properties, you can set ownership splits at the individual property level and FreeAgent will automatically divide up the income and costs accordingly. You will also be able to see profit and loss reporting for individual properties.
