PropertyKiln is funded by category-exclusive sponsorship from companies that serve UK landlords — one sponsor per category, no competitors, no paywall, no programmatic ads. Sponsors do not influence editorial. See our Editorial Standards for detail.
We ask for your email when you download templates. This helps us understand our audience and, if you opt in, send occasional updates. We never share your email with sponsors or anyone else.
Who runs it?
PropertyKiln is operated by FTJ Designs. We also run SiteKiln (free guidance for UK tradespeople), BeautyKiln (free guidance for UK beauty professionals) and TrustKiln (independent reviews). Our mission is to give self-employed people and small business owners the same quality of guidance bigger businesses take for granted — without charging them for it.
