What Our Landlords and Sole Traders Say

Trusted by thousands of property owners across the UK

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

RentalBux finally gave me peace of mind.


Even after trying several tools, I was struggling with my portfolio of three rentals. MTD just added to that struggle. But then, I was introduced to RentalBux and all my worries disappeared. MTD submissions in minutes, track each property separately, allocate profit sharing. Wow!

Handles both UK and Foreign Property. Pleasantly Surprised!


I was expecting and prepared to have separate MTD systems for my UK and overseas properties. But RentalBux does both, easily, seamlessly and without the need for separate subscription.
