Flat Fee Letting Platform

Percentage-based letting fees are one of the biggest frustrations in the rental market. Why should agents take a cut of your rental income every month, especially when the work doesn’t change after the first few weeks? That’s where flat fee letting platforms come in.

Homesty’s model is simple: one clear, low fee of £39 per successful tenancy. No percentages. No surprises. Just fair value.

Why Choose a Flat Fee Model?

Imagine you rent out your property for £1,200 a month. A traditional agent charging 12% would take £144 every single month — that’s over £1,700 a year. Multiply that across multiple properties, and it’s a huge dent in your rental income.

With a flat fee, you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. It doesn’t matter if your property rents for £600 or £2,000 a month — the cost to list and secure a tenant stays the same. That means more of your money stays in your pocket.

The Problems with Percentage-Based Agents

The issue with commission fees is simple: they don’t reflect the actual work involved. Once a tenant is in, agents are still charging a cut every month, even though their involvement is minimal.

This not only reduces landlords’ income but often pushes rents higher, as landlords pass costs onto tenants. In the end, both sides lose.

How Homesty Works as a Flat Fee Letting Platform

Homesty flips the script. Instead of commission, we charge a single £39 success fee, payable only when a tenant moves in. That means you never pay for an empty listing.

Tenants browse properties on the app, landlords manage listings directly, and when a match is made, everything — from digital contracts to secure payments — happens in one place. It’s fair, fast, and flexible.
