Your guide to getting started
Welcome to Landlord Pulse. This walks you through setting up your account and getting real value in your first sitting — in plain English, with no property or software experience needed.
Welcome to Landlord Pulse. This walks you through setting up your account and getting real value in your first sitting — in plain English, with no property or software experience needed.
Two minutes of prep. Have these to hand and the rest is quick.
It's your sign-in and where alerts and agent updates go, so use one you check.
Your 14-day free trial needs a card upfront. You won't be charged until the trial ends.
The postcode of a property you own is enough for the AI to fill in the rest.
A PDF of a gas safety, EPC or electrical certificate if you have one. Handy, but not required.
You won't pay anything for 14 days. When the trial ends, your card is charged for the plan you chose and it continues monthly (or yearly) until you cancel.
You can cancel any time before then from Account → Billing and you won't be charged at all. Payments are handled securely by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number.
About twenty minutes. By the end you'll have a live account and the three things that make everything else work: your properties, your numbers, and your compliance.
Open the link you were sent and choose Sign up (some pages say Get started). Enter your email and a password, agree to the terms, and you're in — you'll go straight on to choosing your plan.
You'll see two plans — Manage and Grow — each with a 14-day free trial. Full pricing is further down this page; in short, Grow adds the Strategic Plan, Market Insights, Tax tools and unlimited properties.
The first time you reach your dashboard, a short guided tour points out the main areas — the sidebar sections, the chat button, and the icons along the top. Follow it to the end; it takes under a minute and gives you your bearings.
In the left sidebar under Manage, open Properties, then choose Add with AI. Pick whichever way suits you:
Review what the AI fills in, correct anything that looks off, then Save. You'll land on each property's own page — where its finances, compliance and mortgage details live.
Every field shows a colour pill for confidence (green / amber / red) and a badge for where it came from — EPC, market data, AI, or your own edit — so you can see at a glance what's worth double-checking.Your Profitability, Performance, Forecast and Mortgage pages come to life once they have real figures, so it's worth doing this while you set up. The quickest way is to connect Xero, QuickBooks or Sage from Integrations: sign in once and your income and expenses flow through automatically. You can also add a mortgage or a transaction by hand from any property's page.
Open Compliance under Manage and choose Add certificate. You'll usually have several — gas safety, electrical (EICR), EPC and so on — so select them all and upload them together: the AI reads the dates and reference number off each one for you to check and save.
No certificate to hand? Enter one by hand. Set an expiry a month or so away and you'll see how the app reminds you before it lapses.
These are the features that make Landlord Pulse more than a spreadsheet. Do as many as you like now, or come back to them later.
Open the chat from the button in the bottom-right corner. It knows your portfolio — not a generic chatbot — so ask real questions:
Read the answer, then try a follow-up. For a more thorough response, switch it to Deep Dive mode.
Open Alerts in the sidebar, or the bell icon at the top. This is your single to-do list: certificates coming up for renewal, tenancy and mortgage-fix end dates, rent arrears and more — all worked out from your own data.
Open Markets for yields, capital growth and sold-price comparables in the postcode areas your properties are in — it's built around where you actually own, not a single whole-UK figure. If it looks sparse at first, choose Refresh to pull the latest. You'll also find a Sold prices nearby panel on each property's page.
The headline of the Grow plan — a personalised investment strategy written around your goals.
Nothing here is essential on day one — but it's where regular users get the most out of the app.
Pulse Agents are AI helpers that run quietly on a schedule and email you when something matters — spotting new legislation that affects you, watching mortgage rates, drafting tenant letters. Open Pulse Agents, read a few descriptions, and switch one on.
Your trial runs up to 2 agents at once. Manage allows 3 and Grow allows 10 — if you hit the limit, that's your cue to look at the plans.Two things are always within reach at the top of the screen. The book icon opens the Learn library — plain-English articles on everything from EPCs to Section 24. The info icon is Explain this page: press it anywhere and the AI tells you what the page is for and what to do next.
Both start with a 14-day free trial. Prices are in GBP and include VAT. Cancel any time.
Run a small portfolio with all the essentials.
Optimise, grow, and use AI across your whole portfolio.
During the trial you get the Grow feature set apart from the Strategic Portfolio Plan, so you can try almost everything before you decide. Switch plans, or between monthly and yearly, any time from Account → Billing. Apple Pay, Google Pay and major cards accepted via Stripe.
