Where Property Hawk falls short
- Designed for individual landlords, not professional agencies

- No mobile apps, guided inspections, or AI features
The Bottom Line
Property Hawk is a budget-friendly option for individual landlords who want basic property and tenant tracking. Its free tier makes it accessible, and for a landlord managing a handful of properties without professional help, it covers the essentials.
However, Property Hawk is not designed for professional letting agents. It lacks the multi-user access, workflow automation, compliance tools, and financial depth that agencies need. If you are running a letting agency — even a small one — you will quickly outgrow what Property Hawk can offer.
LettingGuru is built specifically for UK letting agents, with role-based access, multi-branch support, automated workflows, and comprehensive compliance tracking. It is a professional tool for professional agencies, with every feature designed to save your team time and reduce risk.
