Building a better way to rent.
We're a technology company dedicated to improving the UK residential lettings system. Today, thousands of forward-thinking tenants, landlords and partners use our software to rent properties faster and more securely than ever before.
Rethinking tenancy deposits.
When we started in 2016 renters struggled to pay large deposits, leaving landlords with rising void periods. Plus, the Government deposit schemes and insurance policies of the time simply weren’t benefiting both parties — often leaving someone out of pocket.
We thought there was a better way. So our founders, inspired by the success of deposit alternatives in Germany and Switzerland, set out to rethink the UK lettings system.
A smarter, fairer system for everyone.
Our founding idea was simple, and it remains the same to this day. We combine the most effective government deposit schemes with smart technology to make renting more affordable for tenants, more profitable for landlords and more efficient for agents and institutions.
What we believe.
These are the values that our team and products are built on.
-
Fair for everyone
Tenants, landlords and businesses should benefit equally.
-
Building accountability
Open, honest communication is essential to every successful rental.
-
Software for scale
Software should enhance personal relationships, not devalue them.
-
Playing by the rules
Our products adhere to strict government and financial regulations.
