Our take
The average rental deposit in the UK is over £1000, an amount that many tenants struggle to pay when moving home. Flatfair's answer to this is offering a non-refundable membership-fee equal to one-quarter the cost of a rental deposit, meaning renters don't have to take on credit card debt or borrow from family and friends to fund a deposit.
Other companies such as Goodlord and Movebubble have also tried to disrupt rentals, but it remains a hard space to crack. That said, Flatfair's approach, in which it becomes pivotal to both landlords and tenants, puts the company in a smart position to streamline processes and improve the experience, and certainly makes it an intriguing prospect in the space.
The company recently rolled out a tenant guarantor product across 1,000 Build-to-Rent homes in partnership with Heimstaden, combining it with its existing no-deposit solution to simplify tenant onboarding. As the UK rental market evolves and new regulations such as the Renters' Right Act approach, platforms that reduce friction for both renters and landlords could become increasingly important.
