Built for landlords who let it themselves.

Keymews exists to make managing your own rental properties organised, clear and less of a second job.

The job

Letting property yourself means running a small business alongside everything else. Rent to track, repairs to arrange, certificates to renew, paperwork to keep, and tenants who need answers.

In England the paperwork has grown. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 brings more records to keep and more ways to get them wrong.

Why it feels scattered

The usual answer is a mix of tools that were never meant to work together: a spreadsheet for rent, a calendar for dates, a folder for certificates, and several message apps for tenants and contractors.

Each tool holds part of the picture. None of them tells you what needs you today.

The other answer is a letting agent, which suits some landlords and is more than others need for routine management.

The idea

Keymews puts those jobs in one place and keeps them in order. One record for each property and tenancy. Rent that’s scheduled and reconciled. Repairs with a status. Compliance dates that are visible before they lapse. A portal for tenants so communication has a home.

For contractors and accountants

Landlords don’t work alone. The plumber who fixes the boiler and the accountant who files the return juggle the same scattered tools, across every client they have.

One login for the work landlords send you, and the rest of your workload beside it.

  • Contractors.Jobs from landlords arrive with the address, access notes and photos. Accept them, book visits, post updates, and send quotes and invoices for approval. With Basic or Pro, your own customers, jobs and invoices sit in the same list, so you see the whole week in one place.
  • Accountants.Landlords share their books read-only, already grouped under the SA105 headings, with the accountant pack a click away. With Basic or Practice, your other clients’ Making Tax Digital and Self Assessment deadlines are added in one go and flagged before they’re missed.
  • Free where it’s the landlord’s work.Work a landlord sends you through Keymews never costs you anything: their plan pays for it.

We keep building for contractors and accountants. If something would save you time, tell us; it shapes what we build next.

How we build it

  • What needs you, first.Every screen answers “what needs me?” before “what exists?”.
  • Calm by default.Neutral until something matters, then clear enough to act on.
  • Never colour alone.Every status has a word, so nothing depends on seeing colour.
  • Honest.Features that aren’t connected say so. Compliance status is never presented as certification.
  • Your data stays yours.Walled off per organisation, and exportable whenever you want it.

What’s next

Now in Keymews: inspections and inventories, tax-year reports with an accountant pack, and bank statement import on every plan; e-signatures, referencing and Right to Rent checks on Basic and above; lettings, from listing page to application, on Premium; and Keymews AI, which answers from your own records, reads receipts and triages repairs. For contractors and accountants: card payments from invoice links, repeating jobs and deadlines, client reminders and document requests. Next, we’re working on forecasting, automation you can set up yourself, and an app that works offline for inspections.

These are plans, not promises of dates. What’s available today is on the features page.
