You don't have to pay to use the site, apply for properties, or advertise properties - the fact that wasn't immediately clear is something we probably need to work on!
We charge to advertise on external websites only (who charge us), to conduct referencing (because it costs us), and to set up tenancies (again, because it costs us) - rental transactions complete daily on our site completely for free.
- fiatjaf 12y agoSorry for the misunderstanding. Now that you explained it, I think this is a GREAT business model. Thank you for existing. (Does it work great? Do you have a lot of paying customers?)
- dazbradbury 12y agoWe have over 15k landlords, and let a property on average in less than a week - so yes, I think it works pretty well. :-) The more people using our platform, the better it gets, so really we just need to work on our marketing - starting with making sure people understand our concept from the word go. Would you mind explaining why you thought there was a charge, and what pages helped you understand the business better?
- fiatjaf 12y agoWhen you land the website, you see two boxes, one is labeled "TENANTS" and the other "LANDLORDS". One says "NO FEES", the other "ONLY £29". It was clear to me that landlords had to pay a fee.
