For one property, Flathive is the lowest-priced paid plan among the providers we compared in October 2026, and about 98% cheaper than a typical letting agent. Prices of other providers change, so check their websites for current rates.
Do I need a property manager if I use Flathive?
No. Flathive gives self-managing landlords the tools a property manager uses — rent tracking, tenancy agreements, formal notices, compliance statements and maintenance — so you stay in control and keep the management fee.
Can I manage a shared house or rooms let separately?
Yes. Flathive is built for shared homes: each room can have its own rent, bond and agreement, and flatmates get chores, bin schedules and shared bills.
