About Abodient
Why we started Abodient — and what we’re building.
For most landlords, the choice has been simple: pay a letting agent 10–15% of your rent to manage your property, or manage everything yourself. The thing is, the work letting agents actually do — answering tenant messages, chasing contractors, tracking certificates, filing the right paperwork at the right time — is mostly admin and standard process. The kind of work software does well, and the kind of work AI does even better. And yet landlords keep paying a premium for it, because nothing else exists at the same level of quality.
The other thing that didn’t add up: every adjacent industry has decent software built for the practitioner. Restaurants have Toast. Plumbers have ServiceTitan. GPs have EMIS. Landlords have spreadsheets, inboxes, filing cabinets — or, if they’re lucky, tools designed for letting agents that don’t really fit a self-managing landlord’s workflow. Tens of thousands of self-managing landlords in the UK, and the software industry has barely noticed.
Abodient is what we’d want if we were running our properties ourselves. The full platform — compliance, finance, tenancy, paperwork, contacts. Plus a personal property-management agent on top that can answer tenants, find contractors, draft the right notices, watch your compliance deadlines, and run the property end-to-end when you switch it on. The same service a letting agent provides, run by software, at a fraction of the cost. And built around the landlord.
What we believe
You shouldn’t have to choose between handing 12% to a letting agent and managing chaos yourself.
Compliance is legal risk, not admin. It deserves a proper tool, not a spreadsheet.
AI should give landlords leverage, not replace their judgement.

Software engineer by background, landlord by experience. Built Abodient because software could already do most of what a letting agent charges for — but no one had built it from the landlord’s side. London-based.
