Bottom Line...
For RTM companies and small self managed blocks Freehold.Pro is the better fit. For property managers and contractors running multiple blocks Proptimo is built for that scale.
Choose Freehold.Pro if you are an RTM company or share of freehold that runs one or a few small blocks and wants service charge accounting block compliance and a resident portal without manager or contractor style complexity.
Choose Proptimo if you are a property manager or contractor running multiple blocks and need Core finance compliance and reporting Engage portals and Advance tools in one platform.
For self managed blocks with volunteer directors Freehold.Pro is usually the better fit. For property managers and contractors with portfolios Proptimo is built for that workflow.
Directors don't realise they are legally responsible.
Small RTM companies often unknowingly miss fire safety checks, records, and documentation requirements. Freehold.Pro structures and logs these automatically.
The admin slowly becomes a second job.
Volunteer directors end up acting as accountants, secretaries, and compliance officers. Freehold.Pro centralises everything so directors spend minutes per week, not hours.
Leaseholders start questioning the accounts.
Most disputes in small blocks come from unclear service charge records. Freehold.Pro gives every leaseholder visibility into spending and documents.
The only escape feels like hiring a managing agent.
Many blocks appoint managing agents just to cope with admin. Freehold.Pro lets blocks stay self-managed without losing organisation.
Most small RTM and self-managed blocks don't need a managing agent, they need a simple system to stay compliant and organised. Freehold.Pro was designed specifically for 3–50 unit buildings.
