The market

  • The UK rental market is broken on both sides: renters face financial strain whilst landlords lose profits to outdated systems. Leading to the affordability crisis, high management fees and slow operations. According to a Savills rental market report (2024), roughly 74% of tenants

    expressed interest in digital tools for rental payments, maintenance

    requests, and document management.

This startup is solving two key problems:

  • 30% of 5.5m UK renters spend over 50% of income on rent. 18-25 twice as likely to fall behind on rent.

  • 38% of maintenance issues misreported, with 7-10 average wait time, resulting in £1,200-2,000 year costs.

Founder-Market Fit: 

Jaz has previously successfully launched and scaled a web app: Jottit, a productivity app combining the best of notes, task manager and drawing to help people get things done, was scaled to over 50,000 users. Featured by Apple, Product Hunt, PhoneDog, Macworld.

Our Take

Appeals

  • Legacy platform differentiation: These platforms are not self-serve and require landlords to go through agents, charging up to £600 per tenancy in listing fees and taking 20%+ of rent for post-tenancy management. They are optimised for estate agents, not renters or housemates.

  • Marketplace feature: Houseshare is an all-in-one consumer Rental Super Platform built for low cost and highly scalable (60% UK, 40% US CA AUS and EU).

    • Self-serve marketplace with RentPass ID verification

    • Shared bill tracking, rent reminders, and home admin

    • Fully mobile-native, built around how renters actually live

    • Bootstrapped with traction, real retention, and monetisable utility

Risks

  • UK market education: Self-serve renting is proven abroad, but UK adoption still requires education and hand-holding.

  • Competitive market: Funded competitors may confuse the market with ad spend whilst they figure out how to reach their funding milestones, however users and Apple prefer our UX and their spend has indirectly created interest in other functional apps.
