Company mission
To make renting faster and easier for everyone.
Our take
Renting a property is rarely easy, and in the current climate, it's getting even more difficult. In particular, many prospective renters struggle to secure guarantors. This comes at a time when the number of landlords asking non-student tenants to provide a guarantor has risen by 36% since January 2018 - a trend which has only been accelerated by events in recent years.
Founded in 2019, Unkle was launched originally as a platform on which tenants can apply for a guarantor when they don't have one. Since then, it has diversified its business to now offer digital insurance for owners that covers 100% of unpaid bills. Essentially, Unkle helps both sides of the renting relationship, making renting faster and easier for both parties.
The rental market is only getting bigger, and this will be good news for Unkle. Over the past two decades, for example, the UK rental market grew by almost $60 billion, and this trend exists across Europe as well. Following significant funding across multiple rounds, Unkle will be aiming to ride this trend towards further success.
