Findingaplace

Idea

Introduction

For renters, finding a property is not easy. It’s time consuming, stressful & full of disappointment but thankfully, Findingaplace exists to revolutionise the property search experience, removing the frustrations faced when renting a new home.

We save tenants over 20 hours otherwise lost trawling through property portals by connecting them only to Estate Agents who have properties that match their exact requirements.

Research by RWB reveals that half of searching tenants say the property they were looking for was no longer available and almost 40% never even received a reply at all. Unsurprisingly, a huge two thirds of tenants are not happy with the overall rental experience.

It takes less than 60 seconds to complete our free-of-charge online form removing the need to search at all. We save tenants time, protect their privacy and even give them an opportunity to hear about new properties that are yet to be advertised.

We’re also here to help the Agencies too, by providing pre-vetted tenants we save them resource and costs associated with both vetting and advertising. It’s a win/win for everyone.

Monetisation strategy

Findingaplace collects a monthly subscription from our Estate Agent partners in order to access our prop-tech platform which provides them with pre-vetted tenant applicants that specifically match their bespoke criteria such as coverage area, property type, budget etc.

Findingaplace has global reach, our journey has begun in London but our scalable SaaS platform is designed to operate in unlimited markets & regions.

Different subscription package options provide flexibility to our estate agent partners and enable our service to support independents as well as national brands alike.

Our immediate goal is to solidify our position in the London market before scaling quickly into major cities across the UK and internationally.

Our technology allows us the opportunity to increase the product offering including property sales as well as strategic partnerships with other services related to the property sector, generating a multitude of additional revenue streams.
