About Flatsed

The easiest, most personalised way to find your next rental

Our Mission

Flatsed exists to provide the easiest and most personalised search for long-term renting in the UK. We simplify the life of rent searchers by bringing everything into one place — listings from every major agent, personalised recommendations that learn what you want, verified reviews, viewing bookings, and tenancy management. One account, one platform, zero hassle.

Why Flatsed?

Flatsed means being smart about your flat search. Instead of wasting weeks scrolling through dozens of websites, you let the platform do the heavy lifting — personalised results, verified reviews, and everything in one place. Flatsed is the smarter way to find your next home.

What We Do

  • All listings in one place — we aggregate properties from every major letting agent so you never miss a listing. Search once, see everything.
  • Personalised for you — our matching algorithms learn your preferences with every search, swipe, and save. The more you use Flatsed, the better your results get.
  • Verified tenant reviews — only tenants who have actually lived in a property can leave a review. No fakes, no guesswork — just honest insight.
  • Everything in one account — search, book viewings, manage your tenancy, report maintenance, store documents. Your entire renting life, in one place.
  • Long-term lets only — we focus exclusively on rentals of 6 months or more. No holiday lets, no short stays — just real homes for real tenants.

For Tenants

Flatsed is completely free for tenants. Always has been, always will be. We will never charge you for searching, saving properties, booking viewings, reading reviews, or managing your tenancy. You are our priority — not a revenue source.

For Agencies & Landlords

Agencies pay a small success fee only when a tenancy is signed through the platform. Listing is free, viewings are free, and there are no monthly subscriptions. We succeed only when you do.

What We Stand For

  • Your comfortable place — home is where you feel at ease. We help you find a place that truly fits your life — the right neighbourhood, the right commute, the right space for you, your family, and your pets.
  • Transparency — no hidden fees, no sponsored listings disguised as organic results, no surprises. What you see is what you get.
  • Friendly (especially pet-friendly 🐶) — renting should not be stressful, and your pets are family too. We make it easy to filter for pet-friendly homes and we treat every user interaction as a chance to help.
  • Customer-first — whether you are a tenant looking for a home or an agency looking for tenants, your experience drives every decision we make. We build for you.
  • Simple & smart — your experience matters most. Every screen, every flow, every feature is designed to be intuitive and effortless. On top of that, we learn what you like with every search, swipe, and save — so you spend less time browsing and more time viewing the right places.

Our Story

Flatsed was born from real frustration. We are Andrew, an engineer, and Elizaveta, a pianist — and we spent months searching for a rental in London. With our dog Daisy and a piano that needed moving every time, finding the right place was never simple.

The search was exhausting. We visited flats where one bedroom had been refurbished into two, places far from the nearest park or tube station, bizarre layouts, dirty kitchens hidden behind polished listing photos. We wasted hours travelling to properties that should never have made the shortlist.

While leaving our previous flat, we noticed something odd — agents kept arriving for viewings with no knowledge of the property at all. We ended up presenting the flat ourselves to prospective tenants while the agents stood by. That was the moment it clicked: the system was broken for everyone — tenants, landlords, and even the agents themselves.

Flatsed is the platform we wished existed when we were searching. Honest listings, verified reviews from real tenants, smart filters that actually save you time, and one place to manage everything. No more wasted weekends. No more surprises at the door.

Our Team

We are a small, dedicated team based in London. Our backgrounds span property management, software engineering, and tenant advocacy. Every feature we build is informed by real renting experience — because we have been on both sides of the tenancy agreement.
