Our take
Since founding in 2012, OpenRent has been transforming the renting industry by connecting landlords with tenants online. Its platform empowers them to arrange lettings cheaply, quickly & efficiently, unlike many of the exploitative and expensive traditional letting agencies.
In comparison to more traditional letting business models, OpenRent primarily targets tenant matching and related add-on services, saving tenants time by filtering out unsuitable rentals. All document processing occurs online, resulting in a more streamlined system than traditional letting businesses.
With its fundamental focus on combining customer experience and technology, OpenRent lets more properties than any other UK high-street agency, with 5+ million users. The company is committed to continuing to transform the industry and expanding its team to do so.
