Property management · HMO specialists · Leeds and York
We manage your property the way we manage our own.
Leyo is run by Lily, a landlord with her own portfolio across Leeds and York. Single lets, professional and student HMOs. Every process we use was built for her own houses first.
How we work
We're landlords too
We run our own rental properties across Leeds and York, from single lets to six-bed shared houses. Whatever we advise on, we have done it ourselves first.
We know both councils
Leeds and York run different licensing schemes, for HMOs and single lets. We check the address and handle the application end to end.
Every date tracked
We keep you compliant. Certificates, licences and notices — every date tracked, every renewal booked before it lapses.
How we run our houses
We've been landlords for over a decade, we look after your house like we look after our own and our practices come from genuine experience.
Every managed HMO gets a winter visit before the heating season — radiators bled, seals redone, extractor fans cleared, appliances serviced. Smart locks instead of keys, and heating and lights on timers because tenants forget. Acting early costs less than reacting late.
Do you need a licence?
Licensing is confusing and forever changing. Leeds have launched selective licensing for single lets across six wards and York licenses smaller HMOs across eight wards. This is on top of the existing article 4 rules and licences required for 5+ HMOs.
Leeds City Council estimates that 12,500 properties in the city need a licence.

Not having the correct licence where one is required is a criminal offence and carries fines. Check if you need one.

Our properties let very quickly, often before they are even listed. Join the wait list and you will be first to hear about anything coming up.
