Hammock Avis 

I have trawled the market for Landlord MTD software for quite a while. After reading The Independent Landlord newsletter by Suzanne I took the plunge and trialled Hammock for 2 months free (need to follow Suzanne's link or it will only be 1 month) After reading/watching all the training tube videos (Yes a bloke reading instructions!)
So now 3 days in, I am very impressed with the software and the price and will begin subscribing at the end of the trial.
I had a couple of queries and these were sorted out immediately over the phone by James who was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a lovely person - not a BOT!
Thanks James

I have recently signed up to Hammock. I find it a very well thought through way of managing the finances for my property portfolio. It takes some time to set up but now I wouldn't be without it, notwithstanding the HMRC making tax digital requirement Hammock is worth the fee in order to keep my finger on the pulse of what is happening with my portfolio.

This is what we Landlords are talking about!! Where has this been all our lives??
Hammock is a god send, super easy and intuitive, and there is ALWAYS someone there to help, when things seem a little complicated.
Absolutely amazing product that makes tax return a laughable 2 min effort, and it actually has real people helping you out if you need it. Thank you Hammock, oh thank you!!

I’ve only been using Hammock for one week and I’m hooked! Like many I put off going digital preferring my trusty old spreadsheets but wow, this software is a game changer. I only decided to try MTD before it becomes mandatory and thank goodness I found Hammock.

Set up was not the easiest but is improving all the time. It is already saving me so much admin time and my accountant loves it too. Support and guidance is always on hand where needed from an excellent customer support team so there’s nothing holding you back from ditching those spreadsheets! I cannot rate this software highly enough.

This is the first platform I’ve used for my property management and accounting, having relied on an organised, but time consuming, system of paperwork before.
The free trial is brilliant, the platform impressive and the customer service exemplary. In a world of chatbots it’s great to talk to a person and see their face!
Thanks so much for making life easier!

Such great customer service. I have needed additional support and they are always helpful and patient and help me navigate to the solutions. They walk me through everything so my confidence and knowledge is growing.

The interface and ease of understanding is much superior to the previous system I was using and at a much better price when I only have one rental property. It seems everything can be automated as transactions are recognised from my Halifax bank statement and assigned to the correct property with the appropriate percentage letting fees applied and reconciled automatically. The tax report gives me all the figures I need to easily complete my tax return and splits the return between my wife and myself as joint property owner based on the percentage I specify. (50% in my case). Pleased that MTD compatibility is high on their agenda, so when we are required to report to HMRC more regularly, this will be easily done. Hoping that there will not be price increases to cover this though!

After some initial difficulties setting up - Matt was super at supporting me and making any amends that I was struggling with.
Even over Easter weekend !!!
Thanks Matt.
Great customer service.

I have used spreadsheets for many years for recording rental income and outgoings for a number of properties, some owned individually and some jointly. I had read about bridging software for MTD and planned to use an approved version of that in due course as I thought it would be easier to stick to what I knew. I was also concerned that many of the approved software products on HMRC's list were more suited for the self employed or business accounts and included lots of features that I did not need. I then came across Hammock, had a look at their website and videos, and decided to sign up for the free month's trial that was on offer. It only took a couple of days of trying it out to decide that this is 100% the way forward for us. I had already decided to subscribe, and was fast approaching the end of the free trial, when Suzanne Smith of The Independent Landlord recommended it and advised that she had agreed a free 2 month trial for her subscribers. I asked Hammock if I could extend my trial period without having to set up everything again and this was organised, without any delay, by Matt. Thanks to the ease of set up, and extremely prompt replies to a couple of queries that I had, I have already converted all of our 24/25 information onto Hammock. The majority of these entries were via the bank feed but there were also some items that needed to be input manually. Both methods were equally easy to use. The ability to split payments between different properties without having to input each portion separately is a real bonus, as are many of the other features that make this software so user friendly. Importantly, if you allocate something incorrectly - be it to do with the tenancy, income/outgoings or a document - it is very easy to rectify. Wanting to make sure that I had done everything as I should I reconciled all entries on my 24/25 spreadsheet against the Hammock tax report. The end result was the same!! Now I am going to concentrate on loading in details of all the key documents and then start scanning in receipts for the current tax year. I will be speaking to our accountant about Hammock and am hoping that they will consider using it. To say I am impressed with both the software and the ongoing customer service - thank you Matt and Diane - is an understatement.

As a computer illiterate person who was still using pen and paper for accounts, (the last one according to my accountant) I was very nervous and reluctant to start using software. I chose Hammock because Suzanne Smith (Independent Landlord) recommended it and there is a two month free trial via her website, and I will also have to submit quarterly accounts from 2026 as part of HMRC making tax digital programme.
I found it really easy to set up (which is saying something as I am hopeless with technology). I watched their introductory videos which are only a few minutes long (very manageable) and worth watching. I made a few errors setting up, but I was able to get pretty instant replies to any emails I sent, to rectify these. Thank you Mathew!
Its really clear on your screen, easy to link your bank account, I am now uploading all my receipts as I go along, tracking all my transactions and linking them to a property or if not labelling them.
As I have property personally and in a company structure, I started off putting them all in the same account with Hammock but they merge transactions and overviews so I decided to do two separate accounts as it's not expensive. Mathew was first class, extremely helpful and patient and helped with a screen sharing session showing me how to undo all the bits of things I needed to correct, and just helping me sort a few questions that I had.
I can't recommend this software enough tbh, (especially if like me you don't really do technology) it's simple to use and will significantly reduce the time and effort I need to manage my paperwork, you can put reminders in for gas certs, anything really, details of insurance and upload documents so everything is in one place.
The biggest plus is that they support they offer, I have found to be first class, very prompt at dealing with enquiries and resolving teething problems.
If as a landlord, you are looking to use a software, this one is landlord specific so my recommendation would be to start here, Abby

In readiness for MTD (Rental Income) I can’t speak highly enough of the tool that Hammock have created for landlords to make the transition simple, smooth and easy.

My experience with Head of Customer Services has been excellent and highly recommend the tool to manage your portfolio.

We have just started to use the Hammock software after managing our portfolio on spreadsheets for the last 17 years. For the first time, we don't need to spend hours going through the year's bank statements to reconcile all our income and expenses for our tax returns.

Diane has been wonderful in helping us set up our new account; nothing being too much trouble. It's given us new insights into how our properties are doing, with breakdowns we never even thought of viewing before.

The tax summary sheets are extremely useful, for the first time, enabling us to actually predict how much tax we will owe at the end of the year.

We've just finished the first month's trial and couldn't recommend this software and company enough.

I'm a Landlord of over 20 years and have never had this control and knowledge of every part of my portfolio. The anxiety that has no left my life is immeasurable. I LOVE this software. Set it up and tell it your mortgages, tenancies and important dates and it'll keep on top of things. Bank account linking essential and it's just so easy to use. I tried Landlord Vison and it's unnecessarily complicated. If you have payment for 3 gas certs over diff props for example you just split the payment and allocate to each prop. Easy peasy. None of this complicated accounting movements. Once set up it automatically allocates rent and mortgage payments to the prop. So on any given day I open it up and it tells me immediately if if there's arrears or if an important doc is due to expire with multiple notice times before. I really could go on about how most of us landlords have been living in the dark ages with self made excel spreadheets that fail! Do yourself a favour and do the trial. I had fully loaded 20 props in a day and by week 1 was committed. Help from Matt is 2nd to none too. I tried Lendlord also, but found it too simple. This is now my bible!

With a relatively small property portfolio and living off spreadsheets this is an absolute game changer for me. It has made my admin' so much easier. The ability to store all those compliance documents is brilliant. Most important, the customer support is fantastic... always, helpful, clear and patient. Thank you Diane and James.

Being new to rental software I have had a few questions. The customer service is fantastic especially Diane who is always patience helpful willing to explain things over and willing to go the extra mile. I would recommend Hammock to all small landlords.

An excellent accounting package that lets you comply with regulations as a landlord and simplifying your tax returns. Allows you to keep track of your business.

Hammock is a real game changer for property management, even for someone who has a small portfolio like myself.
It’s made managing my properties so much easier and way less stressful. From handling rent payments to organizing maintenance requests, everything is smooth and hassle-free.

It’s so easy to use and intuitive, you’ll pick it up in no time. The features save me so much time, and the reports also saves me time doing tax returns.

Customer support seems great, even though I have not need to use them yet. But, the courtesy calls tells me they really care about thier users.

I would recommend Hammock to anyone for property management and 100% worth it.

I'm a landlord with a substantial portfolio and I was using Xero but hated it. I thought there must be something better out there, and I found Hammock. Well, it has transformed my life! I dreaded working on my portfolio with the Xero/spreadsheet combo, but now, thanks to Hammock, I really enjoy it. There are too many positives to list ... I would be here all day ... suffice to say that if you're a landlord, Hammock is an essential piece of kit. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's so easy to use and a huge bonus is Matthew. He's the guy that teaches you how to get the best from the software and helps you if you have any issues. He's brilliant, super efficient and explains everything in a non-techie way, ideal for technophobes like me! I very seldom write reviews for anything, but landlords out there need to know just how good Hammock software is.

My Accountant introduced me to Hammock software having reviewed it as a property focused management software. HMRC approved, provides an effortless way to manage your property portfolios, with details of each property, easy receipt imports through the app or PC, bank feeds or downloads, and full of useful information. Matthew Perkins provided excellent support in setting up each property, with ongoing support when needed. Once fully setup, quite easy to manage and understand and has made a marked difference in how I manage my properties. Highly recommend for anyone looking to manage 1 or many more properties.

Amazing software. Has reduced my accounting burden as a landlord. very good and down to earth customer care team, would thoroughly recommend!!!
