Understanding your Landlord statement

Your landlord statement gives a clear overview of your property’s financial activity. It shows how much rent has been received, what’s been deducted (like fees or repairs), what’s been paid to you and what remains. Invoices are included for transparency and do not include additional charges. Our guide below walks you through each part to help clarify things. If you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the team.

Understanding your rental statement 

1. Opening Balance – This is the balance carried forward on the landlord’s account from the previous statement. 
2. Income – The income section shows income received. For overseas landlords, it will also show any tax credits. 
3. Expenditure – This section shows expenditure that has been deducted from income, such as management fees, supplier invoices, and withheld tax.   
4. Landlord Payments – This section shows payments that have been made into the landlord’s bank account. 
5. Closing Balance – This shows the funds that are left on the landlord account at the end of the statement. This includes any interest earned, funds on account for works and float withheld. 
6. Invoices – Highlights all invoices raised against the landlord. This section provides more information on the invoices that also appear in the payments section of the statement. It also provides an invoice number for the landlord to use for accounting purposes. It is not a duplicate or additional charge.
