Service charge and ground rent in one place
Date-effective recurring charges, monthly or quarterly billing cycles, and a complete history of every amount change.
Simple finance and property management for small freehold buildings.
SimpleFreeholder helps resident management companies track service charges, ground rent, and leaseholder payments for buildings with six flats or fewer — without the overhead of full accounting or block management software.
Built for small self-managed buildings
We built SimpleFreeholder for resident management companies running two to six flats — directors who pay an accountant once a year and would rather not spend the other eleven months wrestling with spreadsheets or learning a block-management platform designed for fifty-unit estates.
What you get
One-off invoices with apportionment preview
Raise an extraordinary cost and watch it split across the flats before you commit. Override any row before issuing.
Clear statements for every leaseholder
Every lessee gets a portal showing their balance, statement of account, invoices, and payment history.
Reconcile payments from your bank
Record payments and allocate them to invoices. CSV import and auto-matching arrive next.
Receipts alongside the numbers
Upload supplier invoices and link them to the expense. Every ledger row has its paperwork attached.
Handle flat sales without losing the trail
The exit-lessee wizard pro-rates the period, issues a final statement, and emails the leaving and incoming parties.
Close your year and hand your accountant a complete pack.
One click locks the figures, renders an FRS 105 micro-entity pack PDF, and bundles invoices, payments, expenses, and the ledger as CSVs ready for your accountant.
Built for directors who aren't accountants
Plain English, no jargon, and no double-entry mental gymnastics. The audit log is there if you want it.
How SimpleFreeholder compares
vs spreadsheets
You stop chasing one master copy. Every leaseholder sees their own statement, every figure is auditable, and a year-end pack comes out of the box.
vs general accounting software
No chart-of-accounts setup. No invoice template wrestling. The concepts are flats, lessees, charges, and payments — what you already think in.
vs full block management software
No 50-flat features you'll never use, no five-figure setup fee. SimpleFreeholder fits a single small RMC.
Simple pricing
One flat fee per RMC. Every feature included. See the pricing page for the current rate.
Common questions
- Is my data secure?
- Data is hosted in the UK, encrypted in transit and at rest, and backed up daily. Only members of your RMC can see its data.
- Do I still need an accountant?
- Yes. SimpleFreeholder is bookkeeping software, not an accountant — we generate the year-end pack you hand to one. We can even generate Companies House micro-entity filings for you (Phase 3 premium add-on).
- What if my building has more than six flats?
- SimpleFreeholder is designed for small freeholders. Larger blocks usually need a full block-management platform.
