Why give thousands to an agent? New self-service lettings platform launches

A new self-service platform for UK landlords has been launched by Hello Neighbour.

Giving landlords autonomy and control at every step of the lettings process, but with advice from Hello Neighour’s expert team when required and the assurance that the letting will be fully compliant, the self-service platform will cost landlords £200. The service includes:

property advertising (on Rightmove, Zoopla and more)

a viewings tool to manage tenant viewings

tenant enquiry management

online-offer negotiations; best in class tenant referencing (leveraging Open Banking)

comprehensive property compliance

tailoring tenancy contracts, arranging move-in’s, collecting the first month’s rent and registering security deposits

support and advice from the Hello Neighbour team throughout

The launch of an online lettings platform that takes landlords from beginning to end of the entire letting lifecycle is an industry first, according to Hello Neighbour.

Richard Jenkins, founder and CEO of Hello Neighbour, said: “We have spent four years and millions of pounds developing technology that makes letting a property simple, efficient and fully compliant. It has enabled us to successfully find thousands of tenants for landlords who have trusted us to let their properties. And it has done that in a way that has delighted both.

“I set up Hello Neighbour to change lettings for good, and by enabling any landlord to use our technology, we are doing just that. This brings simple to use, intuitive and powerful online tools to an often cumbersome and challenging process. We know landlords will enjoy using our platform to let their own property, and to make sure that is the case, our experienced team will always be there to help. We are incredibly excited by what we believe is a huge change for landlords and a giant step in our ambition to change lettings for good.”

In addition to the new self-service platform, Hello Neighbour also provide a full letting agency service for a fixed fee of £1,200.
