Two environments: Lendlord preparation and HMRC compliance
The journey spans two environments. In Lendlord you prepare: verify your National Insurance number, categorise mortgage interest, and review numbers. Through the MTD Hub connection you move into HMRC compliance: provide official credentials, securely link accounts, and complete the quarterly update.
Step 1: Locate the MTD Hub
Log into Lendlord. Open the Manage tab, scroll to Accounting, and click MTD Hub. That is your starting point for every quarterly update.

Run preparation and filing in one platform
Keep digital records, connect to HMRC, and submit quarterly updates from the MTD Hub.
Register for the MTD webinarStep 2: Unlock the hub with two prerequisites
Before setup continues, you need two things. First, register for Making Tax Digital on the HMRC website. Second, have your tax details ready, especially your NINO. When both are done, click I’ve registered with HMRC in Lendlord to continue.
Step 3: Select the portfolio owner for this update
Ask who the update is for. If you are the portfolio owner, select yourself and continue. If the update belongs to a team member, remember the rule: one team member per Lendlord account. Invite them to their own separate account so each person submits from their own login.
Step 4: Verify official tax details
Check the portfolio owner details carefully. Confirm the National Insurance number is correct before you connect anything. When it looks right, click Verify and Continue.
Step 5: Start the secure handshake with HMRC
Click Connect Lendlord with HMRC. Lendlord transfers you to the HMRC website with encrypted protection. This is the bridge between your portfolio data and the official compliance environment.
Step 6: Authenticate on the official HMRC portal
Sign in to the HMRC online service with your official credentials. That authorises the connection and prepares your account for submission. Prefer a live walkthrough? Join the MTD Hub webinar for a demo of this link.
Step 7: Select the quarterly period
Back in the flow, choose the quarter you are filing for, such as Q1 (Apr to Jun) or Q2 (Jul to Sep), then click Submit Now. For Phase 1 landlords, the first 2026/27 deadline is still 7 August 2026 for the period from 6 April to 5 July. See also what to submit by 7 August 2026.
Step 8: Isolate and categorise mortgage interest
Select the expense categories that contain your mortgage interest for that period. Clear categorisation keeps the quarterly update accurate and easier to defend if HMRC asks questions later.
Step 9: Review income, expenses, and net profit
Take a moment to review the summarised numbers before you finalise. Check income, expenses, and net profit against your own records. If everything looks correct, you are ready to submit.
Spotted a mistake? Stay in control
If something looks wrong, you are not trapped. Spot the mistake during review, hit Quit to exit setup safely, fix the data in Lendlord Accounting, then return and submit via the MTD Hub. The guide is clear: there are no penalties for exiting early to correct your books.
Step 10: Finalise and achieve compliance
When the numbers are right, click Submit. You have successfully submitted your quarterly update.
Need help? Real human support
If you get stuck, reach out via the in-app chat for human guidance. Software should make the path clear, and support should be there when a step feels unfamiliar.
