Arxela review
A free web-based toolkit for compliance, records, maintenance and tenant communication.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arxela is free property-management software for UK landlords managing properties themselves. It brings property and unit records, tenancy and people records, compliance evidence, expiry reminders, agreements, maintenance, tenant communication and deposit milestones into one web-based service. Unlimited properties and CSV portfolio import make it suitable for landlords and organisations with larger portfolios, while tenant and guarantor portals support invitation-based access without requiring tenants to manage records directly.
Its strongest area is compliance and operational tracking. A property and tenancy health dashboard gives landlords a central view, while compliance tracking preserves evidence history and expiry reminders help surface upcoming actions. Maintenance workflows cover the path from report through closure and include contractor coordination, with messaging for tenants and maintenance communication. Agreement drafting and versioning add document support, although the available functionality does not provide the depth of a dedicated lease-management system. Landlords prioritising compliance records, maintenance coordination and tenant communication should find the feature mix well aligned with those tasks.
The Free plan costs 0, has no payment-card requirement and includes unlimited properties alongside compliance, maintenance and tenant-management features. Arxela is web-only, so landlords seeking mobile apps should choose another option. The product also does not provide verified rent collection or accounting, which limits its fit for users wanting a broader financial management system. Choose Arxela when free, uncapped portfolio tracking and compliance workflows are the priority; consider an alternative when rent collection, accounting, deeper lease management or mobile access are essential.
