Why Homesty Is the Future of Renting in the UK — Simple, Fair, and Truly Democratic


Finding or renting out a home should be simple. It should not drain your time, money, or energy. Unfortunately, the traditional rental market is crowded with high fees, complicated processes, and platforms that benefit more from your struggle than your success.

Homesty has been built to change that.

Homesty is not “just another rental app.” It is a democratised renting ecosystem — designed to give power, transparency, and control back to both tenants and landlords.

In this blog, you’ll discover why Homesty is different, and how its model is reshaping the rental world.

What Makes Homesty Different? — Our 5 Unique USPs

  1. Free Property Listing for Landlords

    Unlike traditional rental portals that charge expensive listing fees upfront, Homesty allows landlords to:

• list their property 100% free
• reach verified tenants
• get real leads without paying a penny
• only be contacted by those tenants you like

This removes the biggest barrier for small or first-time landlords but also for seasoned ones who are buried under current agent fees.


  1. Free Chatting Between Landlords and Tenants

  • No paywalls

  • No restrictions

No forced subscription upgrades

Both sides can chat freely, ask questions, share details, book viewings, and decide whether they’re a good fit — without spending anything.
This direct communication builds trust while eliminating middlemen and unnecessary delays.


  1. Pay Only £39 – But Only If The Tenants Sign the Tenancy Agreement via Homesty!

This is where Homesty flips the entire industry model. Most platforms charge fees before you even know if you’ve found the right tenant. Instead, Homesty charges only when your tenant has already signed the tenancy agreement through Homesty.

If you don’t get a tenant, you pay £0. This keeps the app completely free for browsing, chatting, and shortlisting.

You only pay when Homesty delivers real value. That’s a true performance-based model.

  1. Tentants Get a Tinder-Style Swiping Experience


    Finding the right home is tiring — but not anymore.
    Homesty gives tenants an enjoyable, fast way to discover homes:

    • Swipe to shortlist favourite properties
    • Chat directly with landlords
    • Get real-time responses
    • Avoid agents, delays, and complicated forms

    It’s the easiest, smoothest renting experience you’ll find in the UK.

Safe & Secure Online Tenancy Agreement


Homesty enables landlords and tenants to complete the entire contract process digitally:

• Legally compliant agreements
• Safe and encrypted signing
• No paperwork
• No in-person hassle
• Time-stamped & stored securely

This ensures both sides are protected, documented, and confident.


How Homesty Is Democratising Renting in the UK

Eliminating Hidden Fees
Democratisation means fairness. Most platforms hide charges behind every click — Homesty removes all hidden fees and keeps everything transparent.

Equal Access for Landlords of All Sizes
Whether you own 1 property or 10, you get the same free tools and visibility. This levels the playing field for independent landlords competing with big agencies.

Giving Tenants Direct Power
Tenants don’t need to wait for agents, pay holding fees, or deal with long processes. They can chat, negotiate, and finalise directly with landlords.

Encouraging Open Communication
No blocked features. No forced upgrades. Just honest, open conversation that leads to better matches.

Technology That Works for Everyone
Homesty uses modern design, easy swiping, secure digital agreements, and a clean experience — accessible to students, families, landlords, and newcomers alike.

This is renting without barriers.

Renting shouldn’t be expensive.
