Company mission
To empower first-time renters all around the world to have a great rental experience.
Our take
First-time student renters are in a vulnerable position. Finding available properties can be tricky, and with little experience or authority students all too often end up tied to unscrupulous landlords and poorly maintained flats. It’s created a substantial trust issue, and HYBR is a new and buzzy real estate marketplace looking to solve this.
On the one hand HYBR provides students access to accommodation from reputable landlords in their city, as well as support from the HYBR team with admin challenges. On the other, landlords can access a more flexible and affordable leasing plan than those typically offered by traditional letting agents. A win-win in theory, and in practice HYBR has received resoundingly positive customer feedback from both sides of the equation.
The platform launched relatively recently, but is currently live already across 8 UK cities, with a focus on Bristol. It will need to bulk out property numbers in major rental hotspots like London as it grows, but with the kind of nationwide attention it’s already attracting, HYBR has the potential to scale rapidly.
