Propa is a property and tenancy management platform launched by UK-based Propa Software Ltd, positioned as “built by landlords, for landlords.” It is designed for landlords who manage their own rental properties, covering workflows such as adding properties, landlord verification, creating tenancies, generating agreements, electronic signing, deposit protection, rent/deposit payments, tenant portals, and reminder notifications. The product is available on iOS, Android, and the Web, and is essentially a typical cloud-based SaaS application.
The platform’s core value lies in digitizing the day-to-day rental processes for UK landlords. Landlords can enter property certificates, inventories, additional fees, and custom clauses. After a tenancy is created, the system generates the agreement and schedules related tasks. Agreements support Advanced Electronic Signatures; according to the site, the signing process requires 2FA and complies with ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS. For deposits, Propa works with TDS Custodial Ltd, with TDS being one of the UK government-authorized tenancy deposit schemes. For payments, Propa uses Open Banking via Plaid, enabling bank-to-bank payments from £100 to £100,000, and supports tenants setting up standing orders. The tenant portal allows tenants to view legal documents and certificates, pay deposits, and start communications.
Pricing is very straightforward: the free trial is £0/month and allows free management of 1 property and 1 tenancy with up to 10 tenants, with no credit card required. The Standard plan is £2/month/property and supports unlimited properties, unlimited tenancies, unlimited signed agreements, document storage, deposit protection, certificate reminders, and priority support. The website also emphasizes that bank-to-bank payments processed through Plaid carry no additional fees. On support, the site mentions 24/7 assistance from a UK-based team, a support center, FAQ, how-to guides, and an in-app messenger, but does not disclose an SLA.
The main advantages are low pricing and a clear per-property billing model, making it very friendly for individual landlords. Its feature set covers the workflow from pre-tenancy to ongoing tenancy management, and it is closely aligned with UK rental compliance. The drawbacks are that the product clearly depends on the UK KYC, TDS, Open Banking, and Plaid ecosystems, so it has limited suitability for non-UK landlords. We also did not find information on APIs, developer documentation, enterprise-grade role permissions, or self-hosting; collaboration capabilities mainly focus on interactions between landlords and tenants.
No information is provided about access from China. In addition, its payments, deposit protection, and compliance modules are highly localized for the UK. Even if the service is accessible, it is unlikely to be a good fit for rental property management in China. Chinese users would be better served by local property rental management systems, or by combining tools such as DingTalk, WeCom, e-contract services, and local payment collection tools.
