Why High Street Agents Should Be Afraid: The Future of Renting Is Here

For too long, renting has been dominated by high street letting agents who thrive on hidden fees, inflated costs, and outdated practices. Tenants and landlords alike have been stuck paying for inefficiency, not value. But times are changing — and Homesty is leading that change.

At Homesty, we believe renting should be simple, safe, and human. That’s why we’ve built a platform around three pillars: fair pricing, no agent fees, and baked-in safety.

No-Nonsense Pricing: Just £39 Per Tenancy

Forget commission percentages. Forget renewal fees. Forget “admin charges” that don’t actually administer anything. Forget agent fees altogether.

With Homesty, landlords pay a one-off fixed fee of just £39 per tenancy — for the entire length of the agreement. Whether your tenant stays six months or six years, you’ll never pay a penny more.

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a reset button on how renting should be priced. Fair. Transparent. Honest. No agent fees. Ever.

Direct Communication Between Landlords & Tenants

High street agents act as middlemen, slowing everything down. Messages get delayed, repairs take weeks, and tenants feel disconnected from the people who actually own the property.

Homesty cuts out the nonsense. Landlords and tenants can communicate directly through the app — no need to hand over private phone numbers, no chasing unresponsive agents, no crossed wires.

It’s renting the way it should be: fast, open, and human.

Safety Baked In

We know trust is everything when it comes to renting. That’s why Homesty has safety built into its core:

• Stripe-secured payments for the first month’s rent and deposit — protected and traceable from day one.

• Right to Rent–compliant contracts that you can use off the shelf or customise via DocuSign.

• A system designed to protect both landlord and tenant, not exploit them.

No loopholes, no stress — just peace of mind.

Why High Street Agents Should Be Afraid

The truth is, traditional letting agents haven’t adapted. They’ve clung to old models of greed and overcharging, hoping tenants and landlords won’t notice. But people are noticing.

Homesty isn’t just another app. It’s a wake-up call. A fairer, safer, and smarter way to rent — one that removes bloat, cuts costs, and puts control back where it belongs: in the hands of landlords and tenants.

The future of renting is clear. It’s no-nonsense, people-first, and digital.

It’s no agent fees. It’s £39 flat. It’s Homesty.
