Your rental, secured
We’re for pain-free and secure renting, for all. So whether you’re an agent, a tenant or a landlord, flatfair gives you peace of mind with a simple and modern way to rent your property.
The problem
For a long time, deposits were the only type of rental security that could be trusted.
With only five weeks worth of protection and an average two month waiting time to release cash for end of tenancy charges, landlords were finding deposits slow, inadequate and outdated.
Deposits are expensive too. Tenants are spending an average of £3,350 on moving costs, and most are having to pay a new deposit before they get their old one back.
The solution
We’ve developed flexible and innovative rental solutions that give landlords unrivalled protection alongside significantly lower move-in costs for tenants. Get to know flatfair’s secure rental solutions Boost and No Deposit.
Built for change
Our founders are determined to change the UK lettings system. Coming from established companies like Google, Deutsche Bank and American Express, Franz Doerr, Daniel Jeczmien and Bartosz Alksnin have built flatfair from the ground up – joining forces and bringing mountains of expertise across product finance and engineering to rethink the way we all rent.
Inspired by the success of deposit alternatives in Germany and Switzerland, our founders alongside the flatfair team have created innovative rental solutions that are getting investors talking.
We’ve raised significant capital as we’ve scaled our company, with $11m in a funding round led by Index Ventures, backers of Facebook, Deliveroo and Slack, and one of the largest venture capital firms in the world.
Where do we live?
You’ll find flatfair HQ in the heart of London, but we’ve got people placed all over the UK. Join our growing team and help us rebuild the rental landscape.
