LWR Group Landlord Maintenance Membership: What You Get for £60 a Month Per Property

Most Lincoln landlords spend more on reactive maintenance than they plan to. A boiler call-out here, an EICR renewal missed, a damp complaint that costs twice what a survey would have. The Landlord Group Membership from LWR Group was built to replace that reactive scramble with one trusted contractor, a fixed low monthly fee, and your best price on every job.

This is a full breakdown of what the membership includes, what it costs, and how to work out whether it makes financial sense for your portfolio.

The £60 per property a month buys the partnership and the protection. It covers member rates on every job, your compliance arranged and tracked, a 6-monthly inspection with a documented audit trail, one free property inspection and one free winter HHSRS mould report each year, your own tenant portal, and priority response. The other certificates, repairs and works are then charged at discounted member rates only when you use them.

Every member property gets the following as part of the monthly fee:

Every reactive and planned job is charged at member rates: £50 for the first hour and £30 per hour after that, with no mark-up on materials. Standard non-member rates are £75 for the first hour and £35 per hour after. The same member pricing applies to cleans, carpets, gardening and refurb quotes.

On a typical two-hour maintenance job (fixing a stiff door, replacing a bathroom tap, resealing a shower), a non-member pays £110. A member pays £80. Across 15 maintenance visits in a year that is roughly £450 saved on labour alone, before the materials saving and the included compliance management.

Landlords with two or more properties see the biggest labour savings because the discount applies across the entire portfolio at the monthly cost for each property.

The membership includes access to a two-sided maintenance portal. Tenants can report maintenance issues directly through the portal rather than calling or texting the landlord at 9pm. The landlord sees every request, its current status, and the agreed cost before any work is approved.

• Tenants submit maintenance requests online with photos
• Landlord receives a notification with the issue, photos, and a quoted cost
• Auto-spend threshold: you can set a pound amount below which repairs are approved automatically without review
• Compliance certificate expiry dates tracked across all properties in one dashboard
• Renewal reminders sent before certificates expire, so you never breach a legal deadline
• Full job history and invoicing in one place for end-of-year accounts

The membership is designed for landlords who own at least one rental property in Lincoln or Lincolnshire and want compliance and maintenance handled without chasing individual contractors. It works best for:

For most Lincoln landlords the membership pays for itself through the labour and materials discount plus the certificates and works you would be buying anyway, now at member rates. Here is a realistic annual comparison for a single two-bedroom rental with average reactive maintenance:

On labour alone the discount roughly offsets the £720 annual fee, and the materials saving, member rates on cleans and refurbs, and the compliance management come on top. The real value is the compliance certainty, the documented audit trail for Awaab's Law and the Renters Rights Act, and the time saved not chasing contractors. For landlords with two or more properties it is consistently better value than self-managing.

The membership is open to landlords with properties in Lincoln and Lincolnshire. The process is straightforward:

1. 1Fill in the membership enquiry form at lwrgroup.co.uk/landlord-group-membership
2. 2We carry out an initial property assessment to confirm condition and note any outstanding compliance work
3. 3Your first compliance visits are scheduled, typically within two to four weeks of joining
4. 4Your tenant portal is activated and you receive your compliance tracking dashboard
5. 5Monthly membership fee begins from the start of your first full month

There is no long-term tie-in. Members can give notice at any time. If you have compliance certificates already in date, we carry them forward into your tracker so you are not billed for work that has already been done.
