Renting hasn’t felt personal — until now
(Because moving should start with a connection)

Let’s be honest: renting in the UK has felt clunky for way too long.
Emails, agent fees, awkward voicemails, spreadsheets — it’s giving 2009.

So we built Homesty for 2025 and beyond.
A rental app that feels more like the tools we already use — to bank, to book, to date — and less like admin.

Because moving should feel like a step forward.
Not a step back.

Renting that fits how we live now

Rents are at an all-time high — the average private rent in the UK hit £1,339/month in May 2025.*
In London, it’s even higher: £2,249/month, up 7.7% YoY.*

At those prices, the process should feel… worth it.
Clear. Smooth. Actually decent.

Instead? Still stuck in the past.
Until now.

Homesty: renting, redesigned

Homesty is the UK’s first peer-to-peer rental app — and it changes everything:

Match & message directly — no agents, no phone calls, just real conversations
Verified profiles & escrow-secured payments — so everyone feels protected
In-app contracts & payments — no PDFs, no printers, no chasing
All in one place — from search to signature, done right in the app

It's the first time letting or finding a home can feel… easy. Maybe even fun?

Whether you’re a renter who wants control without the chaos, or a landlord tired of clunky platforms, Homesty gives you the tools — and the trust — to connect and move confidently.

Why peer-to-peer is bigger than us

The global peer-to-peer rental app market hit $17.7 billion in 2024, with no signs of slowing.*
That’s not a trend. It’s a shift.

We manage everything else through apps. Renting should be no different.
And when you remove the friction, the forms, and the middlemen?
Something better happens: people connect. For real.

We’re starting in a few UK cities — and building from there

We’re launching in Islington, Portsmouth, Cardiff, and Manchester this summer.
Next: new features, new markets, and more ways to make moving smoother, smarter, and just more human.

Because renting should feel exciting.
And we’re here to make sure it does.

Moving starts with a connection.
