How we work
Leyo Lettings is a landlord-run property management company in Leeds and York. We use AI to keep running costs down, so your property earns more and nothing gets missed.
We've been landlords for over a decade and we still own and manage our own houses. We know where the money quietly leaks out of a property, and we use AI to catch it early. People make every decision. The software does the watching.
How does Leyo Lettings use AI?
We use it for three jobs that are easy to forget and expensive to get wrong.
Monitoring energy use. Our properties are on smart meters, so we check gas and electricity use for every house each week, and the heating schedule alongside it. If a house starts using much more than it should, we spot it within days and find out why, rather than discovering it on a bill months later. This is what lets us offer bills-inclusive tenancies and keep them fair for everyone.
Tracking bills. Every utility, broadband and service bill is logged against the property it belongs to. We know what each house costs to run, we see price changes and missed or duplicate charges as they happen, and landlords get clear, itemised statements.
Keeping maintenance logs. Every repair is recorded from first report to finished job: what was reported, who attended, what it cost and when. Repairs are reported in the house WhatsApp group, so everyone knows when a workman is coming. Over time the log shows which appliances, rooms and fittings cost the most, so we fix the cause and not just the symptom.
Why does this matter to landlords?
Small problems cost more the longer they run. A heating fault, a leaking tap or a bill that keeps creeping up can go unnoticed for a quarter. Watching the numbers every week means we deal with it in days. That saves money, protects your property, and gives you a straight record of where your rent has gone.
Does AI replace people?
No. Your property is looked after by a real person, and a person approves every repair and every decision. AI does the watching, counting and record-keeping so that we have more time for the things that need a person: visiting your house, speaking to your tenants, and picking up the phone.
Who is this for?
Landlords with single lets, professional house shares and student HMOs in Leeds and York who want their property managed by someone who owns and runs houses of their own.
